* Done
remove ltt-headers.h
remove ltt-log.h
+Put trace->active later in _ltt_trace_start()
+ltt_trace_create() remove sleep in spinlock use GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc
+Fix the locking of module hooks.
+Fix the traps -> disable nested logging for now.
+Use per cpu spinlock on trace list.
+Finish the control module, libltt and lttctl : netlink interface
+Finish integrating lttctl with lttd.
+fix lttctl signal waiting : use a flag.
+Add ltt_write_commit_counter call to genevent.
+Add information in the buffer header : buffer size, etc etc...
+ -> this information is so small that we can repeat it. Makes flight recorder + easier to decode.
+Add trace start structure to buffer start header.
+fix genevent : take no lock if num traces active is 0.


* TODO
-Fix the locking of module hooks.
-Per cpu read lock on trace structure.
+Add type information per facility : it will help having a standard way +to understand information coming from both kernel space and user space, and deal +easily with 64 bits kernel with 64 and 32 bits processes (and with size_t know +at compile time which can differ inside the same process from one library to +another).
+fix structures alignment, array and sequences too. -> trace dynamic.
+add per facility alignment (inside structures).
+add control of alignment.
+add user space tracing.



* TODO (low priority)
Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.
+Multithreaded lttd.
+Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule +and wakeup (causes a deadlock).

* Need to be discussed
Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.

* Not planned for integration
+Remove the callback struct from the trace struct.
