6 | Here are the roadmaps for the LTTV and LTTng development. I use a priority indice |
| fc5993d2 |
7 | for the TODO items :<br> |
| 90d65afc |
8 | (1) : very high priority<br> |
| 9 | (10): lowest priority<br> |

12 | <big>LTTV Roadmap<small><br> |
| 13 | <br> |
| 14 | * TODO<br> |
| 90d65afc |
15 | (4) create a event rate graphical view : Will be useful in conjonction with the |
| c8a111eb |
16 | filter.<br> |
| 90d65afc |
17 | (6) migrate align to lttv parser.<br> |
| 18 | (7) create an analysis of function time (like a precise gprof)<br> |
| c8a111eb |
19 | -> with gcc -f inline-functions<br> |
| 16383052 |
20 | (10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window. |
| c8a111eb |
21 | <br> |
| 22 | <br> |
| 0c4b3d55 |
23 | * Done<br> |
| 3490c00c |
24 | Buffer aligned on page boundary -> use valloc.<br> |
| d6533ec7 |
25 | per struct (struct align=x) support added to genevent (partial).<br> |
| b8b5f119 |
26 | Add offset align generation for structs to genevent.<br> |
| 81d2643e |
27 | make lttv aware of the per facility long, void* and size_t types.<br> |
| 28 | Read current trace header and buffer header.<br> |
| 6da6b02c |
29 | redo lib tracefile : too much problems in there.<br> |
| 30 | modify the rest of LTTV to match the API changes.<br> |
| 31 | debian package<br> |
| 32 | RPM package<br> |
| 0c4b3d55 |

34 | <big>LTT Next Generation Roadmap<small><br> |
| 0c4b3d55 |
35 | <br> |
| c8a111eb |
36 | * TODO<br> |
| 90d65afc |
37 | (1) make LTT tracing code completely atomic (thus remove locks)<br> |
| 4e75a1c8 |
38 | (1) port LTTng to 2.6.14 kernel.<br> |
| 90d65afc |
39 | (2) add efficient and secure user space tracing. (1 month)<br> |
| 40 | (3) integrate LTTng State Dump : missing irq and process state.<br> |
| 41 | (9) add genevent full functionnality : alignment, array, sequences, nested |
| c8a111eb |
42 | structures.<br> |
| 90d65afc |
43 | (7) add gcc -finstrument-functions instrumentation<br> |
| 0c4b3d55 |
44 | <br> |
| 15e89ad6 |
45 | <br> |
| b720b182 |
46 | * Done<br> |
| b720b182 |
47 | remove ltt-headers.h<br> |
| 48 | remove ltt-log.h<br> |
| c9eaf4ed |
49 | Put trace->active later in _ltt_trace_start()<br> |
| 50 | ltt_trace_create() remove sleep in spinlock use GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc<br> |
| 1502fa62 |
51 | Fix the locking of module hooks.<br> |
| 52 | Fix the traps -> disable nested logging for now.<br> |
| 53 | Use per cpu spinlock on trace list.<br> |
| 24c78300 |
54 | Finish the control module, libltt and lttctl : netlink interface<br> |
| baffa645 |
55 | Finish integrating lttctl with lttd.<br> |
| ada84671 |
56 | fix lttctl signal waiting : use a flag.<br> |
| 4e4d11b3 |
57 | Add ltt_write_commit_counter call to genevent.<br> |
| 24c78300 |
58 | Add information in the buffer header : buffer size, etc etc...<br> |
| 59 | -> this information is so small that we can repeat it. Makes flight recorder |
| 60 | easier to decode.<br> |
| 4e4d11b3 |
61 | Add trace start structure to buffer start header.<br> |
| ada84671 |
62 | fix genevent : take no lock if num traces active is 0.<br> |
| 4e4d11b3 |
63 | Add type information per facility : it will help having a standard way |
| 64 | to understand information coming from both kernel space and user space, and deal |
| 65 | easily with 64 bits kernel with 64 and 32 bits processes (and with size_t know |
| 66 | at compile time which can differ inside the same process from one library to |
| 67 | another).<br> |
| 68 | fix structures alignment, array and sequences too. -> trace dynamic.<br> |
| 69 | add per facility alignment (inside structures).<br> |
| 70 | add control of alignment.<br> |
| 0c4b3d55 |
71 | add control for subbuffer size and number of subbuffers.<br> |
| b6dfdc9c |
72 | Add reserve - get TSC - alignment atomicity through the use of cmpxchg.<br> |
| 73 | Add configurable alignment (LTT_ALIGNMENT).<br> |
| 6da6b02c |
74 | Get ultra-precise logging with use of TSC (only) : only one do_gettimeofday |
| 75 | read, and then we don't want the time flow to be altered by ntp.<br> |
| 76 | Debian kernel package<br> |
| 0c4b3d55 |
77 | <br> |
| 78 | <br> |
| b720b182 |
79 | <br> |
| 80 | * TODO (low priority)<br> |
| cbe85414 |
81 | enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel<br> |
| b720b182 |
82 | Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br> |
| c9eaf4ed |
83 | Multithreaded lttd.<br> |
| baffa645 |
84 | Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule |
| 85 | and wakeup (causes a deadlock).<br> |
| b720b182 |
86 | <br> |
| 15e89ad6 |
87 | * Need to be discussed<br> |
| b720b182 |
88 | Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br> |
| 89 | RelayFS ioctl interface vs control through LTT netlink interface.<br> |
| 90 | drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br> |
| b720b182 |
91 | Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br> |
| 92 | Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br> |
| 93 | Remove ltt-base.c.<br> |
| 94 | <br> |
| 15e89ad6 |
95 | * Not planned for integration<br> |
| 4f782cda |
96 | Remove the callback struct from the trace struct.<br> |
| 15e89ad6 |
