Kabi breaker	Responsible	Description	RH Release	PM	Owners	Comments	Kernel version
	IBM,RH	Web site creation and maintanence	U2	2	Jim (Frank)	update the old kprobe webstuff. Not done.
	IBM	Jprobes: Enable access to probed function arguments.	U2	1	Prassana	complete/mainline
	IBM	KProbes: Bugfix, community interaction and code maintenance	U2TF	4	Prassana	ongoing. Jprobe bug, RIP addressing, missing trap3 instructions, unloading module with probe handled? Current kprobes is for x86-64, x86.ppc64. ipf coming soon.
	IBM	Kprobes: Backport to RHEL 3 Kernel	U2TF	1	Prasanna	Done (x86 only)
Possible	IBM	Kprobes: Exit probes	U2	2	Hien	Prototype implementation done, it works with multiple probes
Possible	IBM	Kprobes: Multiple probes	U2		Ananth	Prototype posted to lkml. Going with one interface
Unlikely	IBM	Kprobes: Scalability	U2		Ananth	SMP concurrency.
	IBM	Kprobes: User space probes	Post U2	4	Jim	There is already existing code for this, either commit to dprobes code base or redesign
	Intel	Kprobes: port to IPF	U2		Rusty
Unlikely	RH/IBM	Data buffering: kernel-to-user transport	U2	3	Martin/Tom	V1 done (basic), by Martin. Tom not started yet. Userspace deamon needs to be rewritten. Uses relayfs.
	RH	Runtime library in the kernel	U2	2	Martin	Ongoing.
	RH/IBM	OLS paper	U2	3	Will, Vara	Various sections to be filled in by all.
	RH	Select IT and BZ entries candidate for usage cases	??		Will	Ongoing. Will to share high level versions of problems. Start list of problems for others to add.

	Intel	Tapset: Scheduler	U2	3	Douglas
	Intel	Tapset: Performance monitoring based on hw events	U2		Brad
	RH	Tapset: performance monitoring based on timers	U2		Will
	IBM	Tapset: I/O <-> VM interaction in device drivers	U2	3	Vara
	IBM	User interface (load/execute probe modules, aggregate/format output, etc)	U2	2	Hien	Driver. Needs to be figured out. It's complicated. Needs to be spec'd out.
	RH	Translation code to generate probe modules(parse, code gen and integrate)	U2	4	Frank
	RH	--target space variable access (i.e. $var->field)	U2		Frank
	RH	--User level alternative runtime	U2		Martin/Frank	To test the runtime and the translator w/o loading modules into kernel
	RH	High level Dwarf library to get the symbol information from the kernel	U2		Roland
	RH	--kernel module relocation layer	U2		Roland
	RH	--location expressions/inlines	U2		Uli
	RH	GCC 3.4 fixes for Dwarf2 debuginfo	U2		Gcc engineer	There are new features that are in gcc4 but not in gcc3.4. Backport.
	RH	Rebuild RHEL4 U2 kernel with backported options for debuginfo emission.	U2		Releng/kernel	Need better debuginfo
	Intel	High level testplan	U2		Brad
	IBM	Testcase development and execution for systemTAP	U2	4	Hien, Ananth,	Need to include performance impact assessment
	Intel	Static validator	U2		Brad
