90d65afc 8(1) : very high priority<br>
9(10): lowest priority<br>

18* TODO<br>
ef19b009 19(3) Make LTTV aware of type formats (visual separators) defined in the XML
20file.<br>
15b0e8a4 21(3) Use a per architecture enumeration for traps.<br>
16fe6efa 22(4) Add event specific fields support to filter.<br>
2d569f51 23(4) create a graphical per cpu activity view.<br>
b35779fc 24(5) Add Python scripting hooks.<br>
b0a1cd56 25(5) Flight recorder : start lttd automatically upon GUI trace control stop.<br>
caf22319 26(5) Automatically detect traces with too much processes and disable faulty operations.<br>
b0a1cd56 27(5) Event sequence detector (inspired from regular expressions).<br>
c5cab5d9 28(7) Create a hardware counter viewer (low cost rate counters : L1 cache miss,
29page faults, interrupts...). This will be a generalisation of the event rate
30view into a view of the evolution of a user definable event field.<br>
16383052 31(10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window.

73* TODO (low priority)<br>
cbe85414 74enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel<br>
b720b182 75Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br>
baffa645 76Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
63eeefc3 77and wakeup (causes a deadlock). -> Modify printk so it uses LTTng tracer!<br>
78Export channels via network sockets instead of writing them to disk.<br>
79Export buffers with time constraint for "live" visualisation. Use
6b18b620 80ltt_force_switch periodically from a timer to insure slow channels do not
63eeefc3 81interfere with viewing.<br>
44397e24 82Have an optional round-robin mode to write information into multiple channels
83from the same source.<br>
b720b182 84<br>
15e89ad6 85* Need to be discussed<br>
af3cfedc 86Use 2.6.14 RelayFS control files.<br>
b720b182 87Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br>
b720b182 88drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br>
b720b182 89Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br>
90Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br>
91Remove ltt-base.c.<br>
