Description
Our BoF session proposes topics as informal meeting during the conference. The topic lead (submitter) will drive the conversations on the area of interest described in each BoF.
The attendees group together based on a shared interest and carry out discussions without any pre-planned agenda.
For many years developers have leveraged gdb or crash to look at kernel crash dumps on linux. Although those tools have served us well, it can sometimes be difficult to navigate the crash dump to find the information you really need. In this talk, we would like to present some new tools that make it easier to debug kernel crash dumps and enhance kernel developer's ability to root causes...
Testing the upstream kernel is not an easy task. The burden is
still largely put on developers, although several projects are
now covering parts of it such as 0-day, LKFT, CKI, Coccinelle,
syzkaller and kernelci.org. While they all tend to have their
own speciality, they also face a lot of similar challenges.
This BoF is to give an opportunity to exchange ideas and bring
together people...

It looks like there may well be enough critical folks present to have a good BOF about safety and linux. Topics can include safety processes and methodologies, tooling to support analysis, security update concerns, etc. Basically, if you're interested in using Linux in safety critical systems come join, and we'll see where the conversation goes.
Code review is a collaborative activity involving sentiments and emotions that can affect developers' productivity, creativity, and contribution satisfaction. Discussions in a code review environment in open source could get spirited at times as people from diverse backgrounds and interests are part of it. As a consequence, open source communities have become introspective and started to think...
The csky architecture officially merged the main line in linux-4.20. Before that, eight architectures have just been removed from the main line. Many people ask what is the meaning of csky upstream? Also includes our colleagues. Here, we will give some examples to introduce the progress of the csky architecture in the past six months and the value and significance of linux-csky. This is an...
This session will focus on answering questions on the internals and the usage of Linux-kernel RCU. However, questions regarding details of the RCU-related patches in the -rt patchset will be deferred to other venues, given that this topic consumed the entire time in the 2018 informal RCU BoF session.
This is not intended to be a tutorial on RCU basics, though a separate session on this topic...
