Hi all,
In the scope of my work on systemtap, I would like to have a look to
its user-space instrumentation capabilities. Systemtap relies on
uprobes+utrace for that purpose so has anyone some feedback/global
view on these with regards to ARM ?
utrace did not make it into the mainline and would need more to
convince Linux. I have also seen that a utraceless uprobe is emerging.
There is also a PPA with a utrace enabled kernel but this is not covering ARM.
I am in parallel seeking info on utrace-devel mailing list.
thanks for any help
Regards
Fred

>From a quick look, it appears to be doing a similar thing as GEM..
although as a stand-alone driver rather than coupled with display
driver (drm).

Enclosed you'll find a link to the agenda, minutes, actions and IRC logs
from the
Linaro kernel working group weekly meetings of April 11, 2011.
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/KernelConsolidation/Meetings/2011-04-…
== Summary ==
* ARM Programmer's guide
* ARM is sharing with us an early version of a book on ARM
architecture
* Needs feedback back to ARM from Linaro as an expert group on ARM
and opensource
* Send feedback to David Rusling and/or to Loic
* Validation: what the KWG would need in terms of validation for next
cycle
* Support for the desired monthly release. For instance, automated
builds & automated boot
* Automated builds and tests for tree merges.
* Wider testing than an individual can do by the validation group will
be helpful
* It would be very helpful if the test suite and boards were available
to anyone to test code changes
* TSC was OK with refusal to rewrite the smc driver.
* TR's for next cycle, seem we have more than we can handle in 6 months
* Unlikely to get to the low priority items and medium items are at risk
* Discussion about bug 664477, need more info how to reproduce it and owner
to handle and/or submit it upstream

Mounir
Hi there. I'm looking for areas where the toolchain could generate
faster code, and a good way of doing that is seeing how compiled code
does against the best hand-written code. I know of skia, ffmpeg,
pixman, Orc, and efl - what others are out there?
Thanks for any input,

Hi,
notes and actions from our Wednesday graphics working group call are
available on the wiki:
+ https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Middleware/Graphics/Notes/2011-04-06
Details about when and where of this meeting can be found here:
+ https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Middleware/Graphics#Weekly%20Public%2…
Summary
=======
* Started porting two example programs (cairogears and cairo-clock) to cairo-gles2.
* Benchmarks
* Test definitions
* Created out-of-tree abrek test definitions branch (+packaging) for WG
for glcompbench, cairo-traces and qt-traces and added them to
linaro-graphics-wg-tests.
* Had a meeting with infrastructure/platform team to align benchmarking needs.
* glcompbench : Finished profiler branch and pushed to trunk (lp:glcompbench)
* Skia
* segfault happens in arm_memset32() for Tegra2 as well as EfikaMX if
ARM_HAVE_NEON not enabled, bug created in skia upstream
* Need account in git.linaro.org for creating skia branch
* Kwin : kdelibs and kde-workspace mainline packages available in Kunal's PPA
https://launchpad.net/~goelkunal/+archive/multimedia, but ARM build still
not available
* DRI/Mali
* Investigated overall KMS architecture and functionality and need to investigate
the recent source which allows KMS to allocate a buffer without using DRM.
* Added support in glewinfo file to verify the entry point of the ES and EGL
extensions supported.
* Compiz
* Updated build system to disable building non-ported plugins and went through
all core plugins and verified they work correctly.
* Tested on efikamx, needs some changes for improper GL_BGRA support then doesn't
draw correctly.
Thanks,
