## Kernel stacks
Under "File" -> "Recording Options" you can enable "Record Kernel Callstacks".
To get full symbols and not just the exported ones, you'll to install the matching
[Kernel Debug Kit](https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=Kernel%20Debug%20Kit).
Instruments uses Spotlight to find the dSYMs with the matching uuid so if the
symbols are still not showing up it may help to move the appropriate dSYM file
to a place where Spotlight will notice it. You can double check the uuid of the
kernel in `/System/Library/Kernels` with `dwarfdump --uuid` and check that
Spotlight knows about the file with `mdls`.
## Misc
The `DTPerformanceSession` api can be used to control profiling from
applications like the old CHUD API we use in Shark builds. [Bug
