Greetings,
Enclosed you'll find a link to the agenda, minutes and actions from the
Linaro kernel working group weekly meeting of Jan 24, 2011.
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/KernelConsolidation/Meetings/2011-01-24
=== Summary ===
* Progress on RCU priority boosting, kthread offload now working against 2.6.37 series (scheduler issue in 2.6.38 series).
*
Sent eMMC patches, looking for more people to test the patches, need
changes to eMMC host driver to do testing, which Per Forlin will do
prototype implementation of. Also, Per will post explanation of what
testing is needed and what is required to do testing.
* Pushing structure-body copying patch for merging with OMAP BSP, hope
to push to Russell King in next couple days. Next, plan to get Thumb 2
support into OMAP BSP.
* Kicking off a new approach for device
tree. Getting close to have device-tree support for several platforms,
will be easy to turn on. Need "compatible" strings added to existing
machine_desc's which will match the value provided by a device tree.
This provides only the framework, which provides things like memory
layout. GPIO, I2C, SPI devices are most interesting. Will also have a
Device-Tree hacking day with an informal stand-up meeting, probably on
Tuesdays.
* Working on device tree for samsung patform, build boots with basic
device tree and adding other portions to device tree, like irq
controllers.
* Working on getting 2.6.37-linaro+android booting (init still crashes).
* Config work: Looking at how to allow for selecting a item from a choice block.
* Need to rebase CLOCK_BOOTTIME and Alarm timers patches and resend to lkml for more discussion.
* Adding tests to the linaro test harness.
* Working on patch to detect omap 4430 id.
Regards,
Mounir
