LTTV Roadmap

* TODO
+(2) Finish pre-computing of states to a file.
+(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) 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) Flight recorder : start lttd automatically upon GUI trace control stop.
(5) Automatically detect traces with too much processes and disable faulty operations.

(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
-(3) LTTng State Dump : fix process states (currently forced to unknown).
- # Jean-Hugues Deschenes
+(3) Add sysenter instrumentation on x86. Verify x86_64.
+(3) Fix x86_64 page fault exit missing instrumentation.
+(3) Have various subbuffer sizes for high and low rate channels.
+(3) Change the byte pair "facility, event" id for a short combining the +informatinon.
(4) Add Xen support.
# Mathieu Desnoyers
# Parisa Heidari
(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) In flight recorder mode, have the low traffic channels saved as normal +tracefiles and high traffic channels being flight recorder.
+(4) Try to use my own non LOCK prefixed version of atomic operations : we are +using per-CPU variables, so it should make it possible.
+(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.
+(4) #IBM Test fix for ppc64 kernel 2.6.9 missing syscall return instrumentation.
+(5) Discuss with RelayFS upstream to integrate LTTng modifications.
+(5) Move to DebugFS for channel files.
(5) Support CPUs with scalable frequency.
(5) Integrate LTTng and lttd with LKCD.
(7) Integrate periodical dump of perfctr hardware counters.

enhance RPM packages for lttng kernel
Integrate header generation (genevent) in kernel build system.
-Find a different way to printk from instrumentation : forbidden from schedule -and wakeup (causes a deadlock). -> Modify printk so it uses LTTng tracer!
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
