Minutes

Asia TZ Call

  • ILP32

    • ARM is ending its 2 year maintenance of this project and is requesting a opinion poll from members on further investment in engineering.

    • In staging in kernel but will be deleted without further development

    • has been relatively stable over the last year

    • OpenSUSE has a complete distro built against ILP32 that some members are using

    • Use cases are mainly legacy code that for some reasons isnt possible to port to arm64 (ie assumptions about 32bit points etc).

Socionext: has no interest ILP32

Fujitsu: Has no opinion on ILP32.

USA TZ Call

  • ILP32

    • Graeme summarised Asia TZ Call

    • Marvell requested information on current and expected resource, Andy thinks its 2 full time currently around RCX release cycles with gaps between and expected to need to continue at this level, he will confirm.

    • Andy is going to check if there are any development resources needed for new architecture enhancements.

    • Graeme pointed out to ever get upstream they are going to need some solid public users.

    • Jon asked is there perhaps some depts of ARM or other members relying on this that we currently do not know (Andy to check inside ARM).

    • Telco space is the current know user.

    • Jon says if this goes ahead it needs to be shared over members as everyone benefits.

    • Jon also thinks this is not likely to go upstream.

      • Graeme stated that if its not targeted at upstream that is dificult for Linaro as we are un upstream company.

  • AOB

    • Huawei situation, Jon made clear that RH cannot work on any project that may only benefit Huawei in long run, there must be other users, this affects ILP32 and CCIX

    • Jon asked about the effect on POR from current turmoil of Huawei situation (and other factors)

      • Graeme replied that with the new process we are almost ready to start planning the San Diego → Spring 2020 Connect cycle with hard planning beginning 6 weeks before Connect but soft planning can start now.

    • Jon asked for updated POR slides for current cycle

    • Jon pointed out he thinks we should concentrate on tasks with high interest and that have resources.

Marvell: has strong interest in ILP32

Redhat: has no interest in ILP32

@Former user (Deleted) to discuss POR slides upate with Elsie
