The Google Summer of Code LTTng entry (<a href="http://bugs.lttng.org/projects/lttng/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2013" target="_blank">http://bugs.lttng.org/projects/lttng/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2013</a>) is a promising initiative. May I propose another little project idea?<br>
<br>
Babeltrace support for the debugfs (/sys/kernel/debug/tracing) trace format<br>
<br>
Brief explanation:<br>
Provide a Babeltrace plug-in to allow Babeltrace to read from traces created by the debugfs service (/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace).<br>
<br>
Expected results: A Babeltrace plug-in, tests, examples and documentation.<br>
<br>
Skill level: Easy - Medium<br>
<br>
Prerequisite Knowledge: C, OO development<br>
<br>
Mentors: ?<br>
<br>
Even if the debugfs tracing facility is destined for eventual withdrawal from the Linux kernel, it may be of interest to some to recover older traces generated in this way -if only in order to be able to process them in the same way as CTF text dumps. Conversion to the babeltrace text format should be fairly straightforward; conversion to CTF would be trickier.<br>
<br>
Is this idea worthwhile or worthless?<br>
