We should probably move it to an afternoon slot GMT otherwise I don't
think anyone in the US can attend (I know that an afternoon slot GMT
is problematic for people in Asia, don't know how to solve this,
please let me know).
Thanks,

Sure, though there are large parts of that which need figuring out yet
even if current stuff is fine.

Hi,
We have a LOC Monthly meeting scheduled for Thursday January 28th(a)16.00.
Please see the details below.

Hi,
LOC monthly meeting is planned to take place Thursday January 28th(a)16.00
(UTC+1). This time we have two guest speakers, with two different topics.
- Clément Faure (NXP): HW crypto accelerator integration with crypto
framework in OP-TEE
- Sumit Garg (Linaro): TEE based Trusted Keys
This might take the whole meeting, but feel free to suggest topics you'd
like to
discuss otherwise (by replying to this email or write it directly in the
meeting
notes).

Hi,
As Linaro Big Ideas aren't meant to hang around too long I wanted to do
a call to see if there was any interest in taking this further. Feedback
so far has been it look interesting and certainly looks useful from the
upstream point of view but generally members have other plans (rust-vmm
based solutions, kvmtool etc). From an engineering point of view I still
think there is use in having a slimmed down build of QEMU for ARM if
only to have something to benchmark against when developing the new
shiny tools.
So what do people think?
Worth having a call and firming up an initiative for voting on or clsong
the card due to lack of interest?

If we cannot make it for 8th, I agree with Jonathan that 22nd can be a
better option.
As to the time wise, I would keep it as it is now and adjust it later based
on attendees for specific topics if any.

Hi. As someone mentioned on the last call the dates are very near to the Chinese
New Year. I've just checked with my China based colleagues and they advise against
any meetings between the 10th and the 18th of February.
So perhaps we fall back to the 22nd for the normal scheduled meeting, keeping in mind
that we may want to do an additional one for the scheduler topic before then.
Time wise, I think we will have to be flexible dependent on the agenda for a give call.
At times we may have to even do repeated calls, though those are less than ideal.

Hi Mike,
thank you. I can't make that week - if possible I would move it to
February 15th please depending on whether that's OK with others.
Timezone-wise it would be good if we could accommodate also developers
from the western hemisphere but moving it to an afternoon call (in GMT)
would certainly upset people in the eastern timezones.
Open to suggestions.
Thank you very much all.
Lorenzo

Hi,
There has been some discussion on the card QEMU-414:
https://projects.linaro.org/browse/QEMU-414
about adding another CPU model to QEMU that is somewhat more advanced
than the current v8.0 offerings but isn't quite the rolling "all the ARM
you can eat" -cpu max. So far the primary interest I'm aware of has come
from people working on the SBSA and BSA reference platforms who want to
have something with a few more features than the base v8.0 spec which we
have covered.
So far we have been mostly focused on adding architectural features that
are of direct interest to kernel and user space developers. This has
allowed testing of code that uses SVE, MTE and BTI instructions. However
there are no real CPUs that have quite the "random" assortment of
ARM features QEMU currently implements.
Implementing a new CPU model is not free either. We would have to back
fill features we have currently skipped - some fairly simple and others
not so much. We might also have to implement new on-chip devices (for
example GICv4). We are also not interested in implementing a "only in
QEMU" chip that has no real world analogue.
However to decide on real world chip to model we need to gather
requirements about what is it potential users need in this model? What
architectural features are most interesting and what real world chip
meets them?
I would like to here any feedback and maybe this could be a topic for a
future sync-up call?
