Can someone post this project idea on the ideas list today (marking that
it comes from a student). This could support our application as
mentoring organization.

No problem for students to suggest topics. We are not restricted to
wireless in terms of kernel. We support kernel projects in general.
Please give your suggestion as answer to this e-mail, doing "Reply to
all", as I am not a kernel export, the other participants of this thread
should have a look at the student's project ideas and help finding
mentors.

Ok, I hope it's not too late.
Here is one subject that I would like to apply for:
= Improving tracing in perf events / ftrace =
Using trace events under perf events is still a young feature
and needs various improvements.
- Syscall events can carry only raw values and addresses.
We need to make them "aware" of strings and structures contents
from userspace.
- Make function / function graph tracers usable by perf
- Optimize tracing fast-path
- Improve perf tools to better handle trace events scalability
- Provide new perf tools that exploit trace events (scheduler
migration analysis, etc...)
- Implement a per context excluding (eg: exclude irqs, exclude functions, etc...)
- There are always things to do there.
Of course, each of these elements require a lot of work,
so not all of them can be done in two months, and some
of them can be started already before the summer.
