Greetings,<br>
<br>
Enclosed you&#39;ll find a link to the agenda, minutes and actions from the<br>
Linaro kernel working group weekly meeting of  Dec 06, 2010.  <br><br><a href="https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/KernelConsolidation/Meetings/2010-11-29" target="_blank">https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/KernelConsolidation/Meetings/2010-12-06</a><br>
<br>
<br>== Summary ==<br> * Dave Martin &amp; Nico reviewed K2.x blueprints, bp&#39;s are Approved now. <br> * Tool to measure and fix SD card performance. Found a case of excessive copy-and-paste, gaining unneeded abstraction layers not yet needed for this non-ARM Unicore architecture.<br>
 * Mainlined Flash support, available in <a href="http://git.stericsson.org">git.stericsson.org</a>, also taken into the linux-arm-kernel tree 2.6.37.  <br> * Implemented USB transceiver driver as drivers/usb/otg.  Cleaning up MUSB BSP for 8500 crossover code.  Gadget code sent out for internal ST-Ericsson review, will post publicly after resolved.  <br>
 * Posted the five uboot patches to the list, built and tested the first two on all available platforms.  Need additional testing, especially on big-endian platforms such as PowerPC.<br> * Reviewing status.  A few specifications and blueprints not yet complete, status lagging on some.  Working on New Members wiki page.<br>
 * ST-Ericsson Landing team going well.  Finding problems, getting fixes.  Waiting on some fixes from internal ST-Ericsson teams.  Currently relying on to-be-written functionality.  Team is under NDA, so can pull some patches from internal teams prior to upstreaming. Some issues with source-tree organization within ST-Ericsson, which is being resolved by having a single tree that functionality is added to via topic branches.<br>
 * Thumb 2 work progressing.  A couple of patches to be merged into 2.6.36 tree. Freescale BSP review progress.<br> * OMAP4-EHCI support queued up in linux-usb tree for 2.6.38<br> * Document describing Linaro kernel, will publish on list and ask for comments. <br>
 *  Completed blocked-task-list reorganization for RCU_TREE priority boosting, and started coding up changes needed to move from softirq to kthread. <br>    Possible RCU energy-consumption issue appearing on lightly loaded systems with modest numbers of CPUs: RCU prevents entry into dyntick-idle mode:  Examining possible approaches.<br>
