[RFP] Toolchains and Kernel MC in LPC 2021

[RFP] Toolchains and Kernel MC in LPC 2021

[Jose E. Marchesi]

Hi people!

This year the Linux Plumbers Conference (https://linuxplumbersconf.org) will
be fully virtual, and will happend from 20 to 24 September 2021.

As part of the event, we are organizing a `Toolchains and Kernel
Micro-conference' devoted to discuss specific topics involving kernel and
toolchain.  It will cover both the GNU Toolchain and LLVM.

As in previous years, the emphasis will be in discussing specific topics that
require collaboration/interaction between the kernel and the toolchain chaps.
Examples of topics are wrapping of syscalls, specific features in the
compiler/linker/etc that are used by the kernel, desired optimizations,
features to alleviate security concerns on the kernel side, and the like.

In order to get the Micro-Conference accepted we need to provide a list of
both topics and prospective attendants, so thats why I am reaching out to you
asking for:

1) Topics your project may want to discuss with the kernel hackers, during the
   event.

2) Whether you are willing to contribute and/or participate in the
   micro-conference.

Please let me know in jose.marchesi@oracle.com or jemarch@gnu.org.
Thanks!
