3Progress in LTTV :<br>
4* Done<br>
5Buffer aligned on page boudary -> use valloc.<br>
6per struct <struct align=x> support added to genevent (partial).<br>
7<br>
8*TODO<br>
9Read current trace header and buffer header.<br>
10migrate align to lttv parser.<br>
11Add offset align generation for structs to genevent.<br>
12<br>
13<br>
14Here the status of the work in progress for LTT experimental<br>
15<br>
16* Done<br>
17remove ltt-headers.h<br>
18remove ltt-log.h<br>
19Put trace->active later in _ltt_trace_start()<br>
20ltt_trace_create() remove sleep in spinlock use GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc<br>
21Fix the locking of module hooks.<br>
22Fix the traps -> disable nested logging for now.<br>
23Use per cpu spinlock on trace list.<br>
24Finish the control module, libltt and lttctl : netlink interface<br>
25Finish integrating lttctl with lttd.<br>
26fix lttctl signal waiting : use a flag.<br>
27Add ltt_write_commit_counter call to genevent.<br>
28Add information in the buffer header : buffer size, etc etc...<br>
29 -> this information is so small that we can repeat it. Makes flight recorder
30 easier to decode.<br>
31Add trace start structure to buffer start header.<br>
32fix genevent : take no lock if num traces active is 0.<br>
33Add type information per facility : it will help having a standard way
34to understand information coming from both kernel space and user space, and deal
35easily with 64 bits kernel with 64 and 32 bits processes (and with size_t know
36at compile time which can differ inside the same process from one library to
37another).<br>
38fix structures alignment, array and sequences too. -> trace dynamic.<br>
39add per facility alignment (inside structures).<br>
40add control of alignment.<br>
41add control for subbuffer size and number of subbuffers.<br>
42<br>
43<br>
44* TODO<br>
45add user space tracing.<br>
46<br>
47<br>
48<br>
49* TODO (low priority)<br>
50Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br>
51Multithreaded lttd.<br>
52Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
53and wakeup (causes a deadlock).<br>
54<br>
55* Need to be discussed<br>
56Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br>
57RelayFS ioctl interface vs control through LTT netlink interface.<br>
58drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br>
59Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br>
60Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br>
61Remove ltt-base.c.<br>
62<br>
63* Not planned for integration<br>
64Remove the callback struct from the trace struct.<br>
65<br>
66<br>
67<br>
68* Next experimental release patch division :<br>
