15e89ad6 3Here the status of the work in progress for LTT experimental<br>
4<br>
b720b182 5* Done<br>
b720b182 6remove ltt-headers.h<br>
7remove ltt-log.h<br>
c9eaf4ed 8Put trace->active later in _ltt_trace_start()<br>
9ltt_trace_create() remove sleep in spinlock use GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc<br>
1502fa62 10Fix the locking of module hooks.<br>
11Fix the traps -> disable nested logging for now.<br>
12Use per cpu spinlock on trace list.<br>
24c78300 13Finish the control module, libltt and lttctl : netlink interface<br>
baffa645 14Finish integrating lttctl with lttd.<br>
ada84671 15fix lttctl signal waiting : use a flag.<br>
4e4d11b3 16Add ltt_write_commit_counter call to genevent.<br>
24c78300 17Add information in the buffer header : buffer size, etc etc...<br>
18 -> this information is so small that we can repeat it. Makes flight recorder
19 easier to decode.<br>
4e4d11b3 20Add trace start structure to buffer start header.<br>
ada84671 21fix genevent : take no lock if num traces active is 0.<br>
15e89ad6 22<br>
23<br>
4e4d11b3 24* TODO<br>
25Add type information per facility : it will help having a standard way
26to understand information coming from both kernel space and user space, and deal
27easily with 64 bits kernel with 64 and 32 bits processes (and with size_t know
28at compile time which can differ inside the same process from one library to
29another).<br>
30fix structures alignment, array and sequences too. -> trace dynamic.<br>
31add per facility alignment (inside structures).<br>
32add control of alignment.<br>
33add user space tracing.<br>
34<br>
35<br>
b720b182 36<br>
37* TODO (low priority)<br>
b720b182 38Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br>
c9eaf4ed 39Multithreaded lttd.<br>
baffa645 40Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
41and wakeup (causes a deadlock).<br>
b720b182 42<br>
15e89ad6 43* Need to be discussed<br>
b720b182 44Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br>
45RelayFS ioctl interface vs control through LTT netlink interface.<br>
46drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br>
b720b182 47Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br>
48Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br>
49Remove ltt-base.c.<br>
50<br>
15e89ad6 51* Not planned for integration<br>
4f782cda 52Remove the callback struct from the trace struct.<br>
15e89ad6 53<br>
54<br>
b720b182 55<br>
56* Next experimental release patch division :<br>
