Events/Kernel Summit 2011 ARM Subarch Maintainership Workshop

We're currently planning an ARM Subarchitecture Maintainership Workshop for the first day of Kernel Summit in Prague, October 23, 2011. Watch this page for details, or contact Grant Likely, Nicolas Pitre, or Arnd Bergmann.

There is limited space available for this meeting. Seats were provided on a first-come, first-served basis and we have now surpassed our self-imposed limit of 24 people. However, if you still would like to attend, or would like to nominate someone who you think is an important participant, then email Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>. We may be able to open up additional seats as needed.

We're also extending an open invite to all kernel summit invitees. If you've been invited to kernel summit and you'd like to attend the ARM workshop, then email Grant so that we know you are coming. Otherwise we'll make you sit on the floor.

Proposed agenda topics

Here is the current list of proposed discussion topics. Feel free to add items to this list.

• arm-soc tree: 6 month retrospective
• DT bindings for GPIO and pin mux
• the pin mux subsystem from linusw (especially if it is still RFC by then)
• progress with the single zImage work
• presentation/status of the DMA and memory management work wrt CMA (some SOC specific hacks should go away once this is available)
• DT porting progress
• boot architecture status
• Board-specific code maintainer (proposed by Igor Grinberg)
• Common method for registering errata (CPU, cache controller etc.) (Proposed by Catalin Marinas)
• CPU Topology DT binding (Proposed by Catalin Marinas)
• Fine grained DMA Coherency (Proposed by Catalin Marinas)
• Handling off-the-tree dependencies of devices
• Per-device PM QoS - user space interaction
• Universal platform drivers (for ACPI, PNP, etc.)
• Suspend vs wakeup events

Schedule

The ARM maintainership workshop runs from October 23-25, 2001 in Prague. Sunday October 23rd is dedicated to discussion topics of interest to the ARM subarchitecture maintainers, and October 24 and 25 are organized as a hacking sprint. The workshop is co-located with Kernel Summit and there will be some joint events. You can also refer to the Kernel Summit Schedule. Workshop attendees are welcome to attend any of the Kernel Summit presentations on Tuesday, October 25.
