GSoC 2013, "Instrumenting Open Source projects using UST" project.

GSoC 2013, "Instrumenting Open Source projects using UST" project.

[Tabibel Sami]

Hello,
I am doing master degree of Cryptology and information security
I have good C, Python and Scapy skills, and i am interested to work on
"Instrumenting Open Source projects using UST" project this summer.

I am looking for any comment about the difficulty and the content of
the project, and also about my chances to be accepted if i apply for.

Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

That certainly is an interesting project!

You should probably approach the subject with the wpa_supplicant's
developers to gauge their interest in integrating UST tracepoints into
their codebase. I have never looked at their code; maybe they already
have a logging or tracing infrastructure in place which would make the
modifications less invasive.

This, of course, applies to any project you'd like to instrument.
Determining the developers' level of interest in LTTng is a crucial
part of such proposals since we don't want to maintain patchsets for
external projects (at least, I'd advocate against it).

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Jérémie

I have studied little of wpa_supplicant source code lately, I
understand a little of its operation Principe, I have some backgrounds
on 802.1x authentication. and i am khow working on implementation of
EAP-SIM supplicant, It will be good thing if i can work on this
software .

Hi,

Do you have a specific open-source project in mind that you would like
to instrument with LTTng?

Instrumenting should be straightforward (add tracepoints to the
application source code), the challenge will reside in finding the
appropriates sites to instruments to get useful data out of the
application.

Thanks,

Christian
