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>
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>
4a2e16b7 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.

c8a111eb 33* TODO<br>
90d65afc 34(2) add efficient and secure user space tracing. (1 month)<br>
35(3) integrate LTTng State Dump : missing irq and process state.<br>

59ce71d0 37(4) efficient dynamic event filtering while recording trace.<br>
38 % Sensis Corp. <A HREF="mailto:Bish, Tim <Tim.Bish@Sensis.com>">Tim Bish</A><br>
654b6871 39(4) Create the heartbeat timer LTTng module. Make sure that heartbeat events
40never hit the facility channel. Use the complete 64 bits TSC for the facility
41channel in every case. That's because this channel must never be overwritten
42even in "flight recorder" mode.<br>
2a341212 43(5) Integrate LTTng and lttd with LKCD.<br>
90d65afc 44(7) add gcc -finstrument-functions instrumentation<br>
575b7e97 45(7) Integrate periodical dump of perfctr hardware counters.<br>
cc5ce8a0 46(8) Integrate periodical dump of SystemTAP computed information.<br>
47(8) Integrate SystemTAP logging with LTTng.<br>
6b18b620 48(3) port LTTng to :<br>

68* TODO (low priority)<br>
cbe85414 69enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel<br>
b720b182 70Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br>
c9eaf4ed 71Multithreaded lttd.<br>
baffa645 72Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
63eeefc3 73and wakeup (causes a deadlock). -> Modify printk so it uses LTTng tracer!<br>
74Export channels via network sockets instead of writing them to disk.<br>
75Export buffers with time constraint for "live" visualisation. Use
6b18b620 76ltt_force_switch periodically from a timer to insure slow channels do not
63eeefc3 77interfere with viewing.<br>
b720b182 78<br>
15e89ad6 79* Need to be discussed<br>
af3cfedc 80Use 2.6.14 RelayFS control files.<br>
b720b182 81Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br>
b720b182 82drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br>
b720b182 83Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br>
84Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br>
85Remove ltt-base.c.<br>
