16 | <big>LTTV Roadmap<small><br> |
| 17 | <br> |
| 18 | * TODO<br> |
| 15b0e8a4 |
19 | (3) Use a per architecture enumeration for traps.<br> |
| 20 | (3) Integrate Kernel State Dump information.<br> |
| 6575bcd3 |
21 | (4) create a event rate graphical view : Will be useful in conjunction with the |
| c8a111eb |
22 | filter.<br> |

23 | # <A HREF="mailto:Parisa Heidari <parisa.heidari@polymtl.ca>">Parisa Heidari</A><br> |
| 2d569f51 |
24 | (4) create a graphical per cpu activity view.<br> |
| 90d65afc |
25 | (7) create an analysis of function time (like a precise gprof)<br> |
| c8a111eb |
26 | -> with gcc -f inline-functions<br> |
| 6b18b620 |
27 | (7) Create a hardware counter viewer (low cost rate counters : L1 cache miss, page faults, interrupts...).<br> |
| 16383052 |
28 | (10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window. |

32 | <br> |
| c8a111eb |
33 | * TODO<br> |
| ef2b0f61 |
34 | (1) Use 2.6.14 RelayFS control files.<br> |
| 90d65afc |
35 | (2) add efficient and secure user space tracing. (1 month)<br> |
| 36 | (3) integrate LTTng State Dump : missing irq and process state.<br> |
| 4a2e16b7 |
37 | # <A HREF="mailto:Jean-Hugues Deschenes <jean-hugues.deschenes@polymtl.ca>">Jean-Hugues Deschenes</A><br> |

38 | (4) efficient dynamic event filtering while recording trace.<br> |
| 39 | % Sensis Corp. <A HREF="mailto:Bish, Tim <Tim.Bish@Sensis.com>">Tim Bish</A><br> |
| 654b6871 |
40 | (4) Create the heartbeat timer LTTng module. Make sure that heartbeat events |
| 41 | never hit the facility channel. Use the complete 64 bits TSC for the facility |
| 42 | channel in every case. That's because this channel must never be overwritten |
| 43 | even in "flight recorder" mode.<br> |
| 2a341212 |
44 | (5) Integrate LTTng and lttd with LKCD.<br> |
| 90d65afc |
45 | (7) add gcc -finstrument-functions instrumentation<br> |
| 575b7e97 |
46 | (7) Integrate periodical dump of perfctr hardware counters.<br> |
| 6b18b620 |
47 | (3) port LTTng to :<br> |

| 67 | * TODO (low priority)<br> |
| cbe85414 |
68 | enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel<br> |
| b720b182 |
69 | Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br> |
| c9eaf4ed |
70 | Multithreaded lttd.<br> |
| baffa645 |
71 | Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule |
| 63eeefc3 |
72 | and wakeup (causes a deadlock). -> Modify printk so it uses LTTng tracer!<br> |
| 73 | Export channels via network sockets instead of writing them to disk.<br> |
| 74 | Export buffers with time constraint for "live" visualisation. Use |
| 6b18b620 |
75 | ltt_force_switch periodically from a timer to insure slow channels do not |
| 63eeefc3 |
76 | interfere with viewing.<br> |
| b720b182 |
77 | <br> |
| 15e89ad6 |
78 | * Need to be discussed<br> |
| b720b182 |
79 | Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br> |
| b720b182 |
80 | drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br> |
| b720b182 |
81 | Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br> |
| 82 | Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br> |
| 83 | Remove ltt-base.c.<br> |
