Thanks for the update Christian!

Allow me to give a small update on the TMF (Tracing and Monitoring
Framework, a.k.a. Eclipse trace viewer) front, most of which I did talk
about in my presentation at LinuxCon.


Recent features merged in git:
- Stand-alone RCP version!
  This means it's now possible to download an architecture-dependant
build of the application that does not depend on Eclipse at all (only
needs a Java runtime). Users only interested in viewing traces, and not
in the whole Eclipse IDE integration, will probably prefer this version.
 
  Builds are available at http://lttng.org/eclipse, and are updated
semi-regularly.

- Callstack View support for UST traces
  Any UST trace taken with liblttng-ust-cyg-profile events will now
populate the Callstack View. This means you can now get the full
callstack for any application for which you have the source code!

  (The binary with debugging symbols is required to get the function names.)

- Trace synchronization infrastructure
  The infrastructure is now in place to implement trace synchronization.
For example, synchronizing kernel traces from different machines, or for
synchronizing host+VM traces. Thanks to Benjamin Poirier, Masoume
Jabbarifar and Genevi?ve Bastien for their work on this feature!

- Index on disk
  The viewer's index is now saved to disk, instead of being kept in
memory. This means reopening an already-indexed trace should now be much
faster.


A taste of things to come:

- CPU usage view, based on kernel events
- Memory allocation graph, using malloc events from
liblttng-ust-libc-wrapper
- Support for dynamically-loaded libraries in the UST Callstack. With
function names all the way down!
