[Bug translator/7042] Make upstream kernel developers happy

["mhiramat at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

------- Additional Comments From mhiramat at redhat dot com  2009-01-12 19:53 -------
Here is the action ideas which I sent to systemtap-ml on
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/2008-q4/msg00639.html)

- Communication issue
 - Notifying releasing on LKML frequently.
 - Preparing more documents for kernel developers.
 - Feeding back kernel developers' opinions.

- Solving debuginfo issue
 - in the short term, notifying how to minimize debuginfo size.
 - in the mid term, making dummy (function-entry) debuginfo.
 - in the long term, Roland's dwarf compressor can solve this issue.

- Upstream first issue
 - Utrace/Uprobe
  - Develop code on LKML and embrace feedbacks.
  - Involving main kernel maintainer to speed up the code merging.
 - Systemtap itself
  - Merging a part of runtime and basic tapset to kernel tree, which
   will provide us a permanent API for systemtap generated code.
  (BTW, I'd like to suggest modifying ftrace plug-able and systemtap
   generating ftrace-plugin tracers. This will be more acceptable for
   upstream because we don't need to add so many code).
