No useful callgraphs on Fedora 27

[Clemens Eisserer <linuxhippy gmail com>]

Hi,

I would like to use sysprof to analyze some interaction between a poor
performing graphical program and the Xorg x-server.
In the past I remember sysprof worked very well for this kind of
analysis, giving a detailed overview/callgraph which function consumes
how much time and how it was called.

However on fedora 27, despite having all the debuginfo-packages
installed, I don't get a useful callgraph.
Most functions are directly one hirarchy below the Xorg process.

I also gave oprofile a try, with the same result :/

Any ideas what could be wrong with my system?


Thank you in advance & best regards, Clemens
