LTTV Roadmap

* TODO
+(1) Put back coherent facility checksumming.
+(3) Add cluster support.
+ # Eric Clement
(3) Make LTTV aware of type formats (visual separators) defined in the XML file.
+ # Gabriel Matni
(3) Use a per architecture enumeration for traps.
+(3) Change the byte pair "facility, event" id for a short combining the +informatinon.
+(4) Statistics per time window.
+(4) Add Xen per physical CPU view.
+(4) Add Xen per vcpu view.
+(4) Disable plugins when threshold reached (i.e. too much process in control +flow view). Draw, and, when the threshold is reached, stop drawing. The global +statistics view can inhibit showing the per process stats.
+(4) Add a visual artifact : PID 0 could be named swapper instead of UNNAMED for +cpus > 0.
(4) Add event specific fields support to filter.
-(4) Add a generic event interval view. (useful to verify event periodicity)
+(4) Add a periodic event interval view. (useful to verify event periodicity)
(4) create a graphical per cpu activity view.
+(4) Filter by target process.
+(4) Compensate for time spent in probes in LTTV analysis.
+(4) Add CPU, network, disk, memory usage histogram. [Per interval statistics]
(5) Add Python scripting hooks.
+(5) Add GUI interface to take an hybrid trace.
(5) Flight recorder : start lttd automatically upon GUI trace control stop.
(5) Automatically detect traces with too much processes and disable faulty operations.
(5) Event sequence detector (inspired from regular expressions).
(7) Create a hardware counter viewer (low cost rate counters : L1 cache miss, page faults, interrupts...). This will be a generalisation of the event rate view into a view of the evolution of a user definable event field.
-(10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window. +
+* TO FIX
+(10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window.
+(10) Sometimes, in the control flow view, a process with 0 creation time is +created in addition to the real process itself. Seems to be caused by end of +process life.
+(10) Statistics do not take in account the time spent in the mode present at +the beginning of the trace. Example : real time spent in system call on behalf +of process 0.


LTT Next Generation Roadmap

* TODO
-(2) Make ltt-usertrace-fast support internal heartbeat timer.
- # Mathieu Desnoyers
-(3) LTTng State Dump : fix process states (currently forced to unknown).
- # Jean-Hugues Deschenes
-(4) efficient dynamic event filtering while recording trace.
+(1) put probes in a hash table so we can connect the markers to them upon module +load.
+(1) efficient dynamic event filtering while recording trace.

+(1) CPU Hotplug support. (Only ltt-heartbeat needs to be fixed).

+(1) Add Xen support. (Trace buffer desallocation needs to be fixed)

+(1) Integrate SystemTAP logging with LTTng.
+(3) Change the byte pair "facility, event" id for a short combining the +informatinon.
+(4) instrument kernel bottom half irqsave, spinlocks, rwlocks, seqlocks, semaphores, mutexes, brlock.
+(4) integrate NPTL instrumentation (see +PTT).
+(4) Probe calibration kernel module.
+(4) Make page faults detect nested fault without nesting 4 times in the page +fault handler.
(5) Support CPUs with scalable frequency.
+(5) Add boot time tracing support.
(5) Integrate LTTng and lttd with LKCD.
-(6) Add Xen support.
(7) Integrate periodical dump of perfctr hardware counters.
(8) Integrate periodical dump of SystemTAP computed information.
-(8) Integrate SystemTAP logging with LTTng.
+(9) Rethink facility logging code (genevent output). Maybe unneeded because of +markers/probes mechanism.
(9) Add support for setjmp/longjmp and jump tables instrumentation to ltt-instrument-functions.
+(9) Make ltt-usertrace-fast support internal heartbeat timer.
(3) port LTTng to :
