fc5993d2 6Here are roadmaps for the LTTV and LTTng development. I use a priority indice
7for the TODO items :<br>
81 : very high priority<br>
910: lowest priority<br>

11<br>
c8a111eb 12<big>LTTV Roadmap<small><br>
13<br>
14* TODO<br>
15migrate align to lttv parser.<br>
16create a event rate graphical view : Will be useful in conjonction with the
17 filter.<br>
18create an analysis of function time (like a precise gprof)<br>
19 -> with gcc -f inline-functions<br>
20<br>
21<br>
0c4b3d55 22* Done<br>
3490c00c 23Buffer aligned on page boundary -> use valloc.<br>
d6533ec7 24per struct (struct align=x) support added to genevent (partial).<br>
b8b5f119 25Add offset align generation for structs to genevent.<br>
81d2643e 26make lttv aware of the per facility long, void* and size_t types.<br>
27Read current trace header and buffer header.<br>
0c4b3d55 28<br>
c8a111eb 29<big>LTT Next Generation Roadmap<small><br>
0c4b3d55 30<br>
c8a111eb 31* TODO<br>
32make LTT tracing code completely atomic (thus remove locks)<br>
33add efficient and secure user space tracing. (1 month)<br>
34integrate LTTng State Dump : missing irq and process state.<br>
35add genevent full functionnality : alignment, array, sequences, nested
36structures.<br>
37add gcc -finstrument-functions instrumentation<br>
0c4b3d55 38<br>
15e89ad6 39<br>
b720b182 40* Done<br>
b720b182 41remove ltt-headers.h<br>
42remove ltt-log.h<br>
c9eaf4ed 43Put trace->active later in _ltt_trace_start()<br>
44ltt_trace_create() remove sleep in spinlock use GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc<br>
1502fa62 45Fix the locking of module hooks.<br>
46Fix the traps -> disable nested logging for now.<br>
47Use per cpu spinlock on trace list.<br>
24c78300 48Finish the control module, libltt and lttctl : netlink interface<br>
baffa645 49Finish integrating lttctl with lttd.<br>
ada84671 50fix lttctl signal waiting : use a flag.<br>
4e4d11b3 51Add ltt_write_commit_counter call to genevent.<br>
24c78300 52Add information in the buffer header : buffer size, etc etc...<br>
53 -> this information is so small that we can repeat it. Makes flight recorder
54 easier to decode.<br>
4e4d11b3 55Add trace start structure to buffer start header.<br>
ada84671 56fix genevent : take no lock if num traces active is 0.<br>
4e4d11b3 57Add type information per facility : it will help having a standard way
58to understand information coming from both kernel space and user space, and deal
59easily with 64 bits kernel with 64 and 32 bits processes (and with size_t know
60at compile time which can differ inside the same process from one library to
61another).<br>
62fix structures alignment, array and sequences too. -> trace dynamic.<br>
63add per facility alignment (inside structures).<br>
64add control of alignment.<br>
0c4b3d55 65add control for subbuffer size and number of subbuffers.<br>
b6dfdc9c 66Add reserve - get TSC - alignment atomicity through the use of cmpxchg.<br>
67Add configurable alignment (LTT_ALIGNMENT).<br>
0c4b3d55 68<br>
69<br>
b720b182 70<br>
71* TODO (low priority)<br>
b720b182 72Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br>
c9eaf4ed 73Multithreaded lttd.<br>
baffa645 74Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
75and wakeup (causes a deadlock).<br>
b720b182 76<br>
15e89ad6 77* Need to be discussed<br>
b720b182 78Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br>
79RelayFS ioctl interface vs control through LTT netlink interface.<br>
80drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br>
b720b182 81Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br>
82Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br>
83Remove ltt-base.c.<br>
84<br>
15e89ad6 85* Not planned for integration<br>
4f782cda 86Remove the callback struct from the trace struct.<br>
15e89ad6 87<br>
88<br>
