The Google Summer of Code LTTng entry (http://bugs.lttng.org/projects/lttng/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2013) is a promising initiative. May I propose another little project idea?
Babeltrace support for the debugfs (/sys/kernel/debug/tracing) trace format Brief explanation: Provide a Babeltrace plug-in to allow Babeltrace to read from traces created by the debugfs service (/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace). Expected results: A Babeltrace plug-in, tests, examples and documentation. Skill level: Easy - Medium Prerequisite Knowledge: C, OO development Mentors: ? 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. Is this idea worthwhile or worthless? Daniel U.
