LTTV Roadmap
* TODO
-(4) create a event rate graphical view : Will be useful in conjonction with the
- filter.
- # Parisa Heidari
-(6) migrate align to lttv parser.
-(7) create an analysis of function time (like a precise gprof)
- -> with gcc -f inline-functions
-(10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window.
+(3) Add cluster support.
+ # Eric Clement
+(3) Make LTTV aware of type formats (visual separators) defined in the XML
+file.
+(3) Use a per architecture enumeration for traps.
+(3) Change the byte pair "facility, event" id for a short combining the
+informatinon.
+(4) Statistics per time window.
+(4) Add Xen per physical CPU view.
+(4) Add Xen per vcpu view.
+(4) Disable plugins when threshold reached (i.e. too much process in control
+flow view). Draw, and, when the threshold is reached, stop drawing. The global
+statistics view can inhibit showing the per process stats.
+(4) Add a visual artifact : PID 0 could be named swapper instead of UNNAMED for
+cpus > 0.
+(4) Add event specific fields support to filter.
+(4) Add a periodic event interval view. (useful to verify event periodicity)
+(4) create a graphical per cpu activity view.
+(4) Filter by target process.
+(4) Compensate for time spent in probes in LTTV analysis.
+(4) Add CPU, network, disk, memory usage histogram. [Per interval statistics]
+(5) Add Python scripting hooks.
+(5) Add GUI interface to take an hybrid trace.
+(5) Flight recorder : start lttd automatically upon GUI trace control stop.
+(5) Automatically detect traces with too much processes and disable faulty operations.
+(5) Event sequence detector (inspired from regular expressions).
+(7) Create a hardware counter viewer (low cost rate counters : L1 cache miss,
+page faults, interrupts...). This will be a generalisation of the event rate
+view into a view of the evolution of a user definable event field.
+
+* TO FIX
+(10) Add cancel button to LTTV filter GUI window.
+(10) Sometimes, in the control flow view, a process with 0 creation time is
+created in addition to the real process itself. Seems to be caused by end of
+process life.
+(10) Statistics do not take in account the time spent in the mode present at
+the beginning of the trace. Example : real time spent in system call on behalf
+of process 0.
LTT Next Generation Roadmap
* TODO
-(1) add genevent full functionnality : alignment, array, sequences, nested
-structures.
- # Mathieu Desnoyers
-(1) Use 2.6.14 RelayFS control files.
-(1) port LTTng to 2.6.14 kernel. (depends on genevent rewrite)
-(2) add efficient and secure user space tracing. (1 month)
-(3) integrate LTTng State Dump : missing irq and process state.
- # Jean-Hugues Deschenes
-(7) add gcc -finstrument-functions instrumentation
-(3) port LTTng to : (depends on 2.6.14 port)
-x86_64
-#Autodesk Francois
-L'Archeveque for 2.6.9 RedHat Enterprise
-%Wind River for 2.6.10
-PPC
-PPC64
-%Wind River for 2.6.10
+(1) CPU Hotplug support. (Only ltt-heartbeat needs to be fixed).
+(1) Add Xen support.
+ # Mathieu Desnoyers
+(1) Integrate SystemTAP logging with LTTng.
+(2) Post LTTng 0.6.x to LKML.
+(3) Change the byte pair "facility, event" id for a short combining the
+informatinon.
+(4) efficient dynamic event filtering while recording trace.
+ % Sensis Corp. Tim Bish
+(4) instrument kernel bottom half irqsave, spinlocks, rwlocks, seqlocks, semaphores, mutexes, brlock.
+(4) integrate NPTL instrumentation (see
+PTT).
+(4) Probe calibration kernel module.
+(4) Make page faults detect nested fault without nesting 4 times in the page
+fault handler.
+(5) Support CPUs with scalable frequency.
+(5) Add boot time tracing support.
+(5) Integrate LTTng and lttd with LKCD.
+(7) Integrate periodical dump of perfctr hardware counters.
+(8) Integrate periodical dump of SystemTAP computed information.
+(9) Rethink facility logging code (genevent output). Maybe unneeded because of
+markers/probes mechanism.
+(9) Add support for setjmp/longjmp and jump tables instrumentation to
+ltt-instrument-functions.
+(9) Make ltt-usertrace-fast support internal heartbeat timer.
+(3) port LTTng to :
alpha
user-mode Linux
Xen
-MIPS
-MIPS64
-%Wind River for 2.6.10
-ARM
+# IBM
S/390
+RTLinux
+% Wind River for 2.6.14
* TODO (low priority)
enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel
Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.
-Multithreaded lttd.
-Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule
-and wakeup (causes a deadlock).
+Export channels via network sockets instead of writing them to disk.
+Export buffers with time constraint for "live" visualisation. Use
+ltt_force_switch periodically from a timer to insure slow channels do not
+interfere with viewing.
+Have an optional round-robin mode to write information into multiple channels
+from the same source.
* Need to be discussed
+Use 2.6.14 RelayFS control files.
Drop ltt-module-register and ltt-module-unregister, use exported variables.
drop ltt_filter_control, use functions pointers instead.
Merge facilities headers into one big header.
Change the name of XML files from XML to something else.
Remove ltt-base.c.
-* Not planned for integration
-Remove the callback struct from the trace struct.
