17 | <br> |
18 | * TODO<br> |
b0a1cd56 |
19 | (2) state.c : add Softirq execution mode.<br> |
844ab03b |
20 | (3) Make LTTV aware of type formats defined in the XML file.<br> |
15b0e8a4 |
21 | (3) Use a per architecture enumeration for traps.<br> |
22 | (3) Integrate Kernel State Dump information.<br> |
6575bcd3 |
23 | (4) create a event rate graphical view : Will be useful in conjunction with the |
c8a111eb |
24 | filter.<br> |

25 | # <A HREF="mailto:Parisa Heidari <parisa.heidari@polymtl.ca>">Parisa Heidari</A><br> |
2d569f51 |
26 | (4) create a graphical per cpu activity view.<br> |
b0a1cd56 |
27 | (5) Flight recorder : start lttd automatically upon GUI trace control stop.<br> |
28 | (5) Event sequence detector (inspired from regular expressions).<br> |
29 | (7) create an analysis of function time (like a precise gprof).<br> |
c8a111eb |
30 | -> with gcc -f inline-functions<br> |
6b18b620 |
31 | (7) Create a hardware counter viewer (low cost rate counters : L1 cache miss, page faults, interrupts...).<br> |
16383052 |
32 | (10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window. |

37 | * TODO<br> |
90d65afc |
38 | (2) add efficient and secure user space tracing. (1 month)<br> |
39 | (3) integrate LTTng State Dump : missing irq and process state.<br> |

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

76 | Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule |
63eeefc3 |
77 | and wakeup (causes a deadlock). -> Modify printk so it uses LTTng tracer!<br> |
78 | Export channels via network sockets instead of writing them to disk.<br> |
79 | Export buffers with time constraint for "live" visualisation. Use |
6b18b620 |
80 | ltt_force_switch periodically from a timer to insure slow channels do not |

81 | interfere with viewing.<br> |

84 | Use 2.6.14 RelayFS control files.<br> |
b720b182 |
85 | Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br> |

86 | drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br> |

87 | Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br> |
88 | Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br> |
