Greetings,

Enclosed you'll find a link to the agenda, minutes and actions from the
Linaro kernel working group weekly meeting of  December 13, 2010.

== Summary ==
 * Reviewed Freescale BSP. Many drivers are close to being upstreamable.
 * eMMC performance improvement, initial numbers shows 5% performance gains
for large writes and 10% performance gains for large reads.
 * USB patches for 8500 have been accepted into Greg KH's tree, and Felipe
Balbi's tree.
 * u-boot is in the final phases of the 2010-12 release.  Patch from last
week (environment code would incorrectly report correctable errors) accepted
in mainline.
 * Working RTC issues: timer list and timer queue which are precursors to
getting the Android alarms upstreamed.  Patches in -tip slated for 2.6.38.
LWN article for timers and alarms.
 * Working IRQ code in core code in support of virtual IRQ. Working on QEMU
model of Versatile Express and the Nvidia Tegra (Serial port and eMMC).
Dusting off u-boot work that John Rigby has done so that device tree is
passed correctly to kernel.  Kernel configuration management solution in the
works -- "Kconfig fragment".  Configuration process loads an alternative
per-board Kconfig file that sets defaults for Kconfig, and then sets up with
the full Kconfig, so that you can have definitions set up for a family of
SoCs or boards.
 * Looked at gitdm tool, considering sending in a patch to list Linaro
people as belonging to Linaro instead of to whatever gitdm currently
accounts them to.
 * Finished kexec() blueprint  specification, will get it reviewed next.
 * Progress on RCU priority boosting, additional energy-management tasks and
scalability tasks look to be easily handled.

Regards,
Mounir
