JJ:
- tools/ew.py to spawn emulators for a configured HelenOS build
- continuing with MIPS Malta
- 2 simulator bugs + 1 suspected simulator bug
- hunting for a suspected gta02-specific memory corruption
- as a result of a long bisecting session
- istate_get() needs to correspond to the actual location of istate
- this is causing #492, fix in progress
JZr:
- studying other VFS designs
- discussed a wish for a syscall to safely prefault (reserve) a
range of pages from a late-reserved address space area
- looks plausible and not that difficult
- reported on the state of VFS2 wrt. speed, design, possibilities,
maintenance etc.
- no need for pivot-root and simlinks with VFS2
VH:
- reported on his progress on porting gcc
- libunwind
- difficulties related to pretending to be Linux
- GSoC ideas
GSoC ideas:
- focus on being closer to the self-hosting milestone
- Python, waf, install, clang (as a parallel effort to gcc)
- focus on usability
- GUI improvements (get rid of floats)
- improving support on the less supported architectures
- could make use of some new mentors from the ranks of the new
committers for suitable student projects
