90d65afc 8(1) : very high priority<br>
9(10): lowest priority<br>

18* TODO<br>
844ab03b 19(3) Make LTTV aware of type formats defined in the XML file.<br>
15b0e8a4 20(3) Use a per architecture enumeration for traps.<br>
21(3) Integrate Kernel State Dump information.<br>
6575bcd3 22(4) create a event rate graphical view : Will be useful in conjunction with the
c8a111eb 23 filter.<br>
4a2e16b7 24 # <A HREF="mailto:Parisa Heidari <parisa.heidari@polymtl.ca>">Parisa Heidari</A><br>
2d569f51 25(4) create a graphical per cpu activity view.<br>
90d65afc 26(7) create an analysis of function time (like a precise gprof)<br>
c8a111eb 27 -> with gcc -f inline-functions<br>
6b18b620 28(7) Create a hardware counter viewer (low cost rate counters : L1 cache miss, page faults, interrupts...).<br>
16383052 29(10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window.

c8a111eb 34* TODO<br>
90d65afc 35(2) add efficient and secure user space tracing. (1 month)<br>
36(3) integrate LTTng State Dump : missing irq and process state.<br>

39 % Sensis Corp. <A HREF="mailto:Bish, Tim <Tim.Bish@Sensis.com>">Tim Bish</A><br>
654b6871 40(4) Create the heartbeat timer LTTng module. Make sure that heartbeat events
41never hit the facility channel. Use the complete 64 bits TSC for the facility
42channel in every case. That's because this channel must never be overwritten
43even in "flight recorder" mode.<br>
2a341212 44(5) Integrate LTTng and lttd with LKCD.<br>
90d65afc 45(7) add gcc -finstrument-functions instrumentation<br>
575b7e97 46(7) Integrate periodical dump of perfctr hardware counters.<br>
cc5ce8a0 47(8) Integrate periodical dump of SystemTAP computed information.<br>
48(8) Integrate SystemTAP logging with LTTng.<br>
6b18b620 49(3) port LTTng to :<br>

69* TODO (low priority)<br>
cbe85414 70enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel<br>
b720b182 71Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br>
c9eaf4ed 72Multithreaded lttd.<br>
baffa645 73Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
63eeefc3 74and wakeup (causes a deadlock). -> Modify printk so it uses LTTng tracer!<br>
75Export channels via network sockets instead of writing them to disk.<br>
76Export buffers with time constraint for "live" visualisation. Use
6b18b620 77ltt_force_switch periodically from a timer to insure slow channels do not
63eeefc3 78interfere with viewing.<br>
b720b182 79<br>
15e89ad6 80* Need to be discussed<br>
af3cfedc 81Use 2.6.14 RelayFS control files.<br>
b720b182 82Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br>
b720b182 83drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br>
b720b182 84Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br>
85Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br>
86Remove ltt-base.c.<br>
