Limitations on Collection of Tracing Data

You cannot collect any kind of tracing data from a program that is already running unless the Collector library, libcollector.so, had been preloaded. See Collecting Tracing Data From a Running Program for more information.

Tracing data dilates the run in proportion to the number of events that are traced. If done with clock profiling, the clock data is distorted by the dilation induced by tracing events.
