I have installed Nsight Systems inside a docker container along with an application that I wish to profile. When running the docker container, I have added the run arguments that are suggested in the documentation (–privileged=true, as specified
here User Guide :: Nsight Systems Documentation), which allow Nsight to run and generate reports. However, no cpu samples are collected, nor any backtraces available.
When running the nsys status -e command within docker to verify the environment, no issues seem to be raised:
Timestamp counter supported: Yes
Sampling Environment Check
Linux Kernel Paranoid Level = -1: OK
Linux Distribution = Ubuntu
Linux Kernel Version = 4.9.201-tegra: OK
Linux perf_event_open syscall available: OK
Sampling trigger event available: OK
Intel(c) Last Branch Record support: Not Available
Root privileges: Yes
Kernel module: Available
Sampling Environment: OK
I have also tested profiling a simple Hello World application inside docker and the report is also missing cpu samples.
Release notes (Release Notes :: Nsight Systems Documentation) seem to indicate issues with Docker, but the kernel version that I am working with is more recent than v4.3, so it is unclear if this issue is related.
Platform Jetson AGX Xavier, Kernel 4.9.201-tegra.
Any help and clarifications would be greatly appreciated!
