Well it mostly seemed to be me talking but here are my notes:
- LL/SC Patch Status (Alvise)
- v8 will be posted this week, follow-up MTTCG due
- will require async_safe_work
- AJB will post his revised re-based safe work series
- Linaro's approach going forward (Alex)
- Take the uncontroversial clean-ups, push the upstream (mostly Sergey)
- Provide a common set of base patches (enables MTTCG but not arch support)
- (ADDED) Deferred work patches, needed separately for LL/SC MTTCG work
- Following up with individual architecture enabling series (ARMv7, v8,
onwards)
- Memory ordering work (Alex)
- Several applicants to proposed GSoC project
- Will move forward once Google confirm funding
- Emilio's work
- Emilio is back working on MTTCG, based on common base-patches
- Others have seen his QHT proposals, review feedback from TCG devs looks
good
- TCG Maintainers view
- Not had much feedback on later series, Alex will reach out
- Timescales
- Linaro is committed to having all major work on list by KVM Forum 2016
- Hopefully by KVM Forum we can work on roadmap to merging
- Alex will be there, too early for most of the others to confirm
- Any other business
- Mark commented it was nice to see things moving forward again ;-)
