c8a111eb 3<big>LTTV Roadmap<small><br>
4<br>
5* TODO<br>
6migrate align to lttv parser.<br>
7create a event rate graphical view : Will be useful in conjonction with the
8 filter.<br>
9create an analysis of function time (like a precise gprof)<br>
10 -> with gcc -f inline-functions<br>
11<br>
12<br>
0c4b3d55 13* Done<br>
3490c00c 14Buffer aligned on page boundary -> use valloc.<br>
d6533ec7 15per struct (struct align=x) support added to genevent (partial).<br>
b8b5f119 16Add offset align generation for structs to genevent.<br>
81d2643e 17make lttv aware of the per facility long, void* and size_t types.<br>
18Read current trace header and buffer header.<br>

c8a111eb 20<big>LTT Next Generation Roadmap<small><br>
0c4b3d55 21<br>
c8a111eb 22* TODO<br>
23make LTT tracing code completely atomic (thus remove locks)<br>
24add efficient and secure user space tracing. (1 month)<br>
25integrate LTTng State Dump : missing irq and process state.<br>
26add genevent full functionnality : alignment, array, sequences, nested
27structures.<br>
28add gcc -finstrument-functions instrumentation<br>
0c4b3d55 29<br>
15e89ad6 30<br>
b720b182 31* Done<br>
b720b182 32remove ltt-headers.h<br>
33remove ltt-log.h<br>
c9eaf4ed 34Put trace->active later in _ltt_trace_start()<br>
35ltt_trace_create() remove sleep in spinlock use GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc<br>
1502fa62 36Fix the locking of module hooks.<br>
37Fix the traps -> disable nested logging for now.<br>
38Use per cpu spinlock on trace list.<br>
24c78300 39Finish the control module, libltt and lttctl : netlink interface<br>
baffa645 40Finish integrating lttctl with lttd.<br>
ada84671 41fix lttctl signal waiting : use a flag.<br>
4e4d11b3 42Add ltt_write_commit_counter call to genevent.<br>
24c78300 43Add information in the buffer header : buffer size, etc etc...<br>
44 -> this information is so small that we can repeat it. Makes flight recorder
45 easier to decode.<br>
4e4d11b3 46Add trace start structure to buffer start header.<br>
ada84671 47fix genevent : take no lock if num traces active is 0.<br>
4e4d11b3 48Add type information per facility : it will help having a standard way
49to understand information coming from both kernel space and user space, and deal
50easily with 64 bits kernel with 64 and 32 bits processes (and with size_t know
51at compile time which can differ inside the same process from one library to
52another).<br>
53fix structures alignment, array and sequences too. -> trace dynamic.<br>
54add per facility alignment (inside structures).<br>
55add control of alignment.<br>
0c4b3d55 56add control for subbuffer size and number of subbuffers.<br>
b6dfdc9c 57Add reserve - get TSC - alignment atomicity through the use of cmpxchg.<br>
58Add configurable alignment (LTT_ALIGNMENT).<br>

b720b182 61<br>
62* TODO (low priority)<br>
b720b182 63Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br>
c9eaf4ed 64Multithreaded lttd.<br>
baffa645 65Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
66and wakeup (causes a deadlock).<br>
b720b182 67<br>
15e89ad6 68* Need to be discussed<br>
b720b182 69Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br>
70RelayFS ioctl interface vs control through LTT netlink interface.<br>
71drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br>
b720b182 72Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br>
73Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br>
74Remove ltt-base.c.<br>
75<br>
15e89ad6 76* Not planned for integration<br>
4f782cda 77Remove the callback struct from the trace struct.<br>
15e89ad6 78<br>
