Here is the action ideas which I sent to systemtap-ml on
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/2008-q4/msg00639.html)
- Communication issue
- Notifying releasing on LKML frequently.
- Preparing more documents for kernel developers.
- Feeding back kernel developers' opinions.
- Solving debuginfo issue
- in the short term, notifying how to minimize debuginfo size.
- in the mid term, making dummy (function-entry) debuginfo.
- in the long term, Roland's dwarf compressor can solve this issue.
- Upstream first issue
- Utrace/Uprobe
- Develop code on LKML and embrace feedbacks.
- Involving main kernel maintainer to speed up the code merging.
- Systemtap itself
- Merging a part of runtime and basic tapset to kernel tree, which
will provide us a permanent API for systemtap generated code.
(BTW, I'd like to suggest modifying ftrace plug-able and systemtap
generating ftrace-plugin tracers. This will be more acceptable for
upstream because we don't need to add so many code).
