[tracecompass-dev] New and Noteworthy April 2016

Hi,

See below for the New & Noteworthy and ongoing work of the Trace Compass project for April 2016.

New and Noteworthy:

Support per CPU filtering for the CPU usage view. The filtering can be triggered by using the '''Follow CPU''' menu item of context sensitive menu of the Resources view.
Support for searching in Time Graph views using CTRL+F keyboard short-cut. With this update, users have the ability to search for a process, TID, PTID, etc. within the Control Flow view or a CPU, IRQ etc within the Resource view.
Merged support for data-driven pattern analysis. With this it possible to define a pattern matching algorithm and populate Timing Analysis views.
Support for horizontal scrolling using Shift+MouseWheel in Time Graph views.
Improve analysis requirement implementation. LTTng UST Call Stack and Kernel CPU Usage analysis have been updated for that.
Added Kernel Memory Analysis with Memory Usage view.
Added input/output analysis and I/O Activity view for Linux
Added per CPU thread 0 modeling. Control Flow view have been updated for that.
LTTng Live trace reading support disabled for Neon due to bug 486728 [3].

Ongoing work:

Integration with LTTng Babeltrace Python analyses to be able to output the results of these external analyses into Trace Compass
Use symbol provider extension point for LTTng UST Callstack view and Source code lookup
Support LTTng v2.8 runtime in LTTng Control view (existing features only)
Support for switching between flat and hierarchical presentation of processes in Control Flow view
Support for visualization of traces analysis in experiments
Address segment store scalability
Support for collapse/expand all in Time Graph views
Data from a parallel dependent analysis may not be available (bug 488757 [4])
