b720b182 71<br>
72* TODO (low priority)<br>
cbe85414 73enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel<br>
b720b182 74Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br>
baffa645 75Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
63eeefc3 76and wakeup (causes a deadlock). -> Modify printk so it uses LTTng tracer!<br>
77Export channels via network sockets instead of writing them to disk.<br>
78Export buffers with time constraint for "live" visualisation. Use
6b18b620 79ltt_force_switch periodically from a timer to insure slow channels do not
63eeefc3 80interfere with viewing.<br>
44397e24 81Have an optional round-robin mode to write information into multiple channels
82from the same source.<br>
b720b182 83<br>
15e89ad6 84* Need to be discussed<br>
af3cfedc 85Use 2.6.14 RelayFS control files.<br>
b720b182 86Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br>
b720b182 87drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br>
b720b182 88Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br>
89Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br>
90Remove ltt-base.c.<br>
