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>
b35779fc 26(5) Add Python scripting hooks.<br>
b0a1cd56 27(5) Flight recorder : start lttd automatically upon GUI trace control stop.<br>
caf22319 28(5) Automatically detect traces with too much processes and disable faulty operations.<br>
b0a1cd56 29(5) Event sequence detector (inspired from regular expressions).<br>
30(7) create an analysis of function time (like a precise gprof).<br>
c8a111eb 31 -> with gcc -f inline-functions<br>
6b18b620 32(7) Create a hardware counter viewer (low cost rate counters : L1 cache miss, page faults, interrupts...).<br>
16383052 33(10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window.

90d65afc 39(2) add efficient and secure user space tracing. (1 month)<br>
fb069ce1 40 # <A HREF="mailto:Mathieu Desnoyers <compudj@krystal.dyndns.org>">Mathieu Desnoyers</A><br>
90d65afc 41(3) integrate LTTng State Dump : missing irq and process state.<br>

44 % Sensis Corp. <A HREF="mailto:Bish, Tim <Tim.Bish@Sensis.com>">Tim Bish</A><br>
654b6871 45(4) Create the heartbeat timer LTTng module. Make sure that heartbeat events
46never hit the facility channel. Use the complete 64 bits TSC for the facility
47channel in every case. That's because this channel must never be overwritten
48even in "flight recorder" mode.<br>
2a341212 49(5) Integrate LTTng and lttd with LKCD.<br>
caf22319 50(6) Add Xen support.<br>
90d65afc 51(7) add gcc -finstrument-functions instrumentation<br>
575b7e97 52(7) Integrate periodical dump of perfctr hardware counters.<br>
cc5ce8a0 53(8) Integrate periodical dump of SystemTAP computed information.<br>
54(8) Integrate SystemTAP logging with LTTng.<br>
6b18b620 55(3) port LTTng to :<br>

75* TODO (low priority)<br>
cbe85414 76enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel<br>
b720b182 77Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br>
c9eaf4ed 78Multithreaded lttd.<br>
baffa645 79Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
63eeefc3 80and wakeup (causes a deadlock). -> Modify printk so it uses LTTng tracer!<br>
81Export channels via network sockets instead of writing them to disk.<br>
82Export buffers with time constraint for "live" visualisation. Use
6b18b620 83ltt_force_switch periodically from a timer to insure slow channels do not
63eeefc3 84interfere with viewing.<br>
b720b182 85<br>

af3cfedc 87Use 2.6.14 RelayFS control files.<br>
b720b182 88Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br>
b720b182 89drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br>
b720b182 90Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br>
91Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br>
92Remove ltt-base.c.<br>
