Thank you, Dave!

Any thoughts on prioritization?  On which tasks others might be able to take on?

I could look at

* ftrace * kprobes * VFP/NEON coredump support * Thumb2 kernel benchmarking (not included in the original blueprints)

In the meantime, I'll continue pushing the OMAP Thumb2 kernel stuff, but the real work is complete.

I've had a brief look at the coredump stuff, but I'm not committed yet.

I'm keen to hear people's views on which task sounds the most useful.

Cheers ---Dave

Thanx, Paul

=== Activity === ==== hardware-n-kernel-standard-architecture ====  * Upstream link-time discard versus SMP_ON_UP problem still    not fixed.  Russell suggested a patch; currently trying to    confirm whether it got merged anywhere.  * omap3/4 Thumb-2 compatiblity patches re-posted (again).  By    reverting the low-level PM functionality to ARM for correct    interoperation with firmware, positive PM test results have    now been seen on omap3.  * Spent a bit of time trying to understand coredump generation    on ARM.

==== miscellaneous ====  * Cambridge validation lab support:     * Tried to rescue the new, broken vexpress board.  No       success yet, but I now have a firmware upgrade which I       think should fix the problem.

* Tried to set up u8500 boards, but failed due to a lack of       serial breakout boards. ==== Plans ====  * Discuss prioritisation for outstanding kernel tasks.

* Write up the output from the Freescale i.MX BSP review    discussion, and post for comment.

==== Absences ====  * Possible absense of a couple of days in early March    (unconfirmed).
