6Here are the roadmaps for the LTTV and LTTng development. I use a priority indice
7for the TODO items :<br>
8(1) : very high priority<br>
9(10): lowest priority<br>
10<br>
11<br>
12Dependencies are written between brackets [ ].<br>
13The # symbol marks who is currently working on the item.<br>
14The % symbol marks who is interested in the realisation of the item.<br>

16<big>LTTV Roadmap<small><br>
17<br>
18* TODO<br>
19(3) Make LTTV aware of type formats (visual separators) defined in the XML
20file.<br>
21(3) Use a per architecture enumeration for traps.<br>
22(4) Add event specific fields support to filter.<br>
23(4) Add a periodic event interval view. (useful to verify event periodicity)<br>
24(4) create a graphical per cpu activity view.<br>
25(5) Add Python scripting hooks.<br>
26(5) Flight recorder : start lttd automatically upon GUI trace control stop.<br>
27(5) Automatically detect traces with too much processes and disable faulty operations.<br>
28(5) Event sequence detector (inspired from regular expressions).<br>
29(7) Create a hardware counter viewer (low cost rate counters : L1 cache miss,
30page faults, interrupts...). This will be a generalisation of the event rate
31view into a view of the evolution of a user definable event field.<br>
32(10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window.

37* TODO<br>
38(3) LTTng State Dump : fix process states (currently forced to unknown).<br>

43(4) efficient dynamic event filtering while recording trace.<br>
44 % Sensis Corp. <A HREF="mailto:Bish, Tim <Tim.Bish@Sensis.com>">Tim Bish</A><br>
45(5) Support CPUs with scalable frequency.<br>
46(5) Integrate LTTng and lttd with LKCD.<br>
47(7) Integrate periodical dump of perfctr hardware counters.<br>
48(8) Integrate periodical dump of SystemTAP computed information.<br>
49(8) Integrate SystemTAP logging with LTTng.<br>
50(9) Add support for setjmp/longjmp and jump tables instrumentation to
51ltt-instrument-functions.<br>
52(9) Make ltt-usertrace-fast support internal heartbeat timer.<br>
53(3) port LTTng to :<br>

74* TODO (low priority)<br>
75enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel<br>
76Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br>
77Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
78and wakeup (causes a deadlock). -> Modify printk so it uses LTTng tracer!<br>
79Export channels via network sockets instead of writing them to disk.<br>
80Export buffers with time constraint for "live" visualisation. Use
81ltt_force_switch periodically from a timer to insure slow channels do not
82interfere with viewing.<br>
83Have an optional round-robin mode to write information into multiple channels
84from the same source.<br>
85<br>
86* Need to be discussed<br>
87Use 2.6.14 RelayFS control files.<br>
88Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br>
89drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br>
90Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br>
91Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br>
92Remove ltt-base.c.<br>
93<br>
