I briefly checked this and it seems all enablers are in place. I was able to
compile systemtap (v2.1) on the target device (which you could also do
for starters).

Just install build deps:
zypper in gcc make autoconf automake m4 kernel-headers elfutils-devel gcc-c++

You also need to do some kernel work but that should be straightforward. Let us
know if you need any help.

We also have 'perf' which you could try (zypper in perf). I'd propose you try
perf first to see if it meets your needs.

As Kevron pointed out, debug symbols are available. They can be found in the
repositories under /debug/ directory.
