| | 6 | Here are the roadmaps for the LTTV and LTTng development. I use a priority indice |
| | 7 | for the TODO items :<br> |
| | 8 | (1) : very high priority<br> |
| | 9 | (10): lowest priority<br> |
| | 10 | <br> |
| | 11 | <br> |
| | 12 | Dependencies are written between brackets [ ].<br> |
| | 13 | The # symbol marks who is currently working on the item.<br> |
| | 14 | The % symbol marks who is interested in the realisation of the item.<br> |
| | 15 | <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 |
| | 20 | file.<br> |
| | 21 | (3) Use a per architecture enumeration for traps.<br> |
| | 22 | (4) create a event rate graphical view : Will be useful in conjunction with the |
| | 23 | filter.<br> |
| | 24 | # <A HREF="mailto:Parisa Heidari <parisa.heidari@polymtl.ca>">Parisa Heidari</A><br> |
| | 25 | (4) Add event specific fields support to filter.<br> |
| | 26 | (4) create a graphical per cpu activity view.<br> |
| | 27 | (5) Add Python scripting hooks.<br> |
| | 28 | (5) Flight recorder : start lttd automatically upon GUI trace control stop.<br> |
| | 29 | (5) Automatically detect traces with too much processes and disable faulty operations.<br> |
| | 30 | (5) Event sequence detector (inspired from regular expressions).<br> |
| | 31 | (7) create an analysis of function time (like a precise gprof).<br> |
| | 32 | -> with gcc -f inline-functions<br> |
| | 33 | (7) Create a hardware counter viewer (low cost rate counters : L1 cache miss, page faults, interrupts...).<br> |
| | 34 | (10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window. |
| | 35 | <br> |
| | 36 | <br> |
| | 37 | <big>LTT Next Generation Roadmap<small><br> |
| | 38 | <br> |
| | 39 | * TODO<br> |
| | 40 | (2) Make ltt-usertrace-fast support internal heartbeat timer.<br> |
| | 41 | # <A HREF="mailto:Mathieu Desnoyers <compudj@krystal.dyndns.org>">Mathieu Desnoyers</A><br> |
| | 42 | (3) LTTng State Dump : fix process states (currently forced to unknown).<br> |
| | 43 | # <A HREF="mailto:Jean-Hugues Deschenes <jean-hugues.deschenes@polymtl.ca>">Jean-Hugues Deschenes</A><br> |
| | 44 | (4) efficient dynamic event filtering while recording trace.<br> |
| | 45 | % Sensis Corp. <A HREF="mailto:Bish, Tim <Tim.Bish@Sensis.com>">Tim Bish</A><br> |
| | 46 | (5) Support CPUs with scalable frequency.<br> |
| | 47 | (5) Integrate LTTng and lttd with LKCD.<br> |
| | 48 | (6) Add Xen support.<br> |
| | 49 | (7) Integrate periodical dump of perfctr hardware counters.<br> |
| | 50 | (8) Integrate periodical dump of SystemTAP computed information.<br> |
| | 51 | (8) Integrate SystemTAP logging with LTTng.<br> |
| | 52 | (3) port LTTng to :<br> |
| | 53 | x86_64<BR> |
| | 54 | #Autodesk <A HREF="mailto:Francois L'Archeveque <fla@discreet.com>">Francois |
| | 55 | L'Archeveque</A> for 2.6.9 RedHat Enterprise (patch available in contrib, still |
| | 56 | has to be ported to 2.6.14, thanks!)<BR> |

| | 70 | <br> |
| | 71 | <br> |
| | 72 | <br> |
| | 73 | * TODO (low priority)<br> |
| | 74 | enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel<br> |
| | 75 | Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.<br> |
| | 76 | Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule |
| | 77 | and wakeup (causes a deadlock). -> Modify printk so it uses LTTng tracer!<br> |
| | 78 | Export channels via network sockets instead of writing them to disk.<br> |
| | 79 | Export buffers with time constraint for "live" visualisation. Use |
| | 80 | ltt_force_switch periodically from a timer to insure slow channels do not |
| | 81 | interfere with viewing.<br> |
| | 82 | Have an optional round-robin mode to write information into multiple channels |
| | 83 | from the same source.<br> |
| | 84 | <br> |
| | 85 | * Need to be discussed<br> |
| | 86 | Use 2.6.14 RelayFS control files.<br> |
| | 87 | Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.<br> |
| | 88 | drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.<br> |
| | 89 | Merge facilities headers into one big header.<br> |
| | 90 | Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.<br> |
| | 91 | Remove ltt-base.c.<br> |
| | 92 | <br> |
| | 93 | <br> |
| | 94 | * lttng patch division (0.5.10+) :<br> |
