5e11a375 6Here are the roadmaps for the LTTV and LTTng development. I use a priority indice
fc5993d2 7for the TODO items :<br>
90d65afc 8(1) : very high priority<br>
9(10): lowest priority<br>

18* TODO<br>
844ab03b 19(3) Make LTTV aware of type formats defined in the XML file.<br>
15b0e8a4 20(3) Use a per architecture enumeration for traps.<br>
21(3) Integrate Kernel State Dump information.<br>
6575bcd3 22(4) create a event rate graphical view : Will be useful in conjunction with the
c8a111eb 23 filter.<br>
4a2e16b7 24 # <A HREF="mailto:Parisa Heidari <parisa.heidari@polymtl.ca>">Parisa Heidari</A><br>
2d569f51 25(4) create a graphical per cpu activity view.<br>
b0a1cd56 26(5) Flight recorder : start lttd automatically upon GUI trace control stop.<br>
caf22319 27(5) Automatically detect traces with too much processes and disable faulty operations.<br>
b0a1cd56 28(5) Event sequence detector (inspired from regular expressions).<br>
29(7) create an analysis of function time (like a precise gprof).<br>
c8a111eb 30 -> with gcc -f inline-functions<br>
6b18b620 31(7) Create a hardware counter viewer (low cost rate counters : L1 cache miss, page faults, interrupts...).<br>
16383052 32(10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window.

c8a111eb 37* TODO<br>
90d65afc 38(2) add efficient and secure user space tracing. (1 month)<br>
fb069ce1 39 # <A HREF="mailto:Mathieu Desnoyers <compudj@krystal.dyndns.org>">Mathieu Desnoyers</A><br>
90d65afc 40(3) integrate LTTng State Dump : missing irq and process state.<br>
4a2e16b7 41 # <A HREF="mailto:Jean-Hugues Deschenes <jean-hugues.deschenes@polymtl.ca>">Jean-Hugues Deschenes</A><br>
59ce71d0 42(4) efficient dynamic event filtering while recording trace.<br>
43 % Sensis Corp. <A HREF="mailto:Bish, Tim <Tim.Bish@Sensis.com>">Tim Bish</A><br>
654b6871 44(4) Create the heartbeat timer LTTng module. Make sure that heartbeat events
45never hit the facility channel. Use the complete 64 bits TSC for the facility
46channel in every case. That's because this channel must never be overwritten
47even in "flight recorder" mode.<br>
2a341212 48(5) Integrate LTTng and lttd with LKCD.<br>
caf22319 49(6) Add Xen support.<br>
90d65afc 50(7) add gcc -finstrument-functions instrumentation<br>
575b7e97 51(7) Integrate periodical dump of perfctr hardware counters.<br>
cc5ce8a0 52(8) Integrate periodical dump of SystemTAP computed information.<br>
53(8) Integrate SystemTAP logging with LTTng.<br>
6b18b620 54(3) port LTTng to :<br>

74* TODO (low priority)<br>
cbe85414 75enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel<br>
b720b182 76Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br>
c9eaf4ed 77Multithreaded lttd.<br>
baffa645 78Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
63eeefc3 79and wakeup (causes a deadlock). -> Modify printk so it uses LTTng tracer!<br>
80Export channels via network sockets instead of writing them to disk.<br>
81Export buffers with time constraint for "live" visualisation. Use
6b18b620 82ltt_force_switch periodically from a timer to insure slow channels do not
63eeefc3 83interfere with viewing.<br>
b720b182 84<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>
