Eclipse Trace Compass 2.0.0

Trace Compass 2.0 focuses on new features, bug fixes, and API addition and cleanup.

Some of the new features are:

• Added Extension points
  
  In this release 2 new extension points have been added:
  • org.eclipse.tracecompass.tmf.core.analysis.ondemand
    
    This extension point is used to provide on-demand analyses. Unlike regular analyses, the on-demand ones are only executed when the user specifies it.
  • org.eclipse.tracecompass.tmf.ui.symbolProvider
    
    This extension point can be used to transform from symbol addresses that might be found inside a TmfTrace into human readable texts, for example function names (e.g. used for Call Stack views)
• Integration with LTTng-Analyses
  • Project View additions
  • Running an analysis
  • Result reports
  • Creating custom charts
  • Importing custom analyses
• Critical flow view
• Data-driven pattern detection
  
  The data-driven analysis and view of Trace Compass has been augmented to support data-driven pattern analysis. With this it possible to define a pattern matching algorithm and populate Timing Analysis views. Other types of latency or timing analyses can be now defined using this approach.
• Time graph view improvements
  • Gridlines in time graph views
  • Grid lines have been added to the time graph views such as the Control Flow view.
  • Persist settings (e.g. filters) for open traces
  • Support for searching within time graph views (e.g. search for process in Control Flow view.
  • Support of vertical zooming in time graph views
  • Bookmarks and custom markers in time graph views
  • Horizontal scrolling using Shift+MouseWheel
• System call latency analysis
  • System call latency table
  • System call latency scatter graph
  • System call latency statistics
  • System call latency density
• Critical flow view
  
  A critical flow analysis and view has been added to show dependency chains for a given process.
• Virtual CPU view (analysis of virtual machines)
• Bookmarks and custom markers
  • Support for user bookmarks in time graph views
  • Lost event markers in time graph views
  • Navigation for trace markers in time graph Views
  • API for trace specific markers
• Resources view improvements
  • Display of soft IRQ names in the Resources view
  • Execution context and state aggregation
  • Following a single CPU across views (per CPU filtering)
• Control Flow view Improvements
  • Support for sorting of process based on columns in the Control Flow view
  • Following single thread across views (thread filtering)
  • Grouping threads under a trace parent
  • Selecting flat or hierarchical thread presentation
• CPU Usage view improvements
  • Per CPU filtering in CPU Usage view
• Kernel memory usage analysis and view
• Linux Input/Output analysis and I/O Activity view
• Manage XML analysis files
• Display of analysis properties
• Importing traces as experiment
• Importing LTTng traces as experiment from Control view
• Events Table filtering UI improvement
• Symbol provider for Call stack view
• Per CPU thread 0
• Updated analysis requirement API
  • API clean-up of analyis requirement API
  • Added API to support requirements on event types and event fields. Using event field requirements it possible to define analysis requirements on LTTng event contexts
  • Updated LTTng UST Call Stack and Kernel CPU Usage analysis requirement implementation
• Pie charts in Statistics view
• Support for LTTng 2.8+ Debug Info
