Thanks everybody who submitted ideas and proposed discussion topics. I've just updated the miniconf submission proposal. The submitted abstract currently reads (sorry for the formatting, it's copy/pasted from the submission webpage) ===== The main purpose of the Linux Plumbers 2018 Live kernel patching miniconference is to involve all stakeholders in open discussion about remaining issues that need to be solved in order to make Live patching of the Linux Kernel (more or less) feature complete. The main purpose of the proposed miniconference is focusing on the features that have been proposed (some even with a preliminary implementation), but not yet finished, with the ultimate goal of sorting out the remaining issues. The proposed topics for discussion with, including the respective proponents: - Architecture support - objtool for ppc (**Miroslav Benes, Kamalesh Babulal, Josh Poimboeuf**) - s390x (**Joe Lawrence, Miroslav Benes**) - Dealing with gcc optimizations intefering with livepatches (**Miroslav Benes**) - userspace tooling for automating patch generation (**Alice Ferrazzi, Miroslav Benes, Nicolai Stange**) - elivepatch presentation / discussion (**Alice Ferrazzi**) - How to implement a sane notion of global consistency (**Nicolai Stange**) - compatibility of livepatches between framework versions (**Joe Lawrence, Petr Mladek, Nicolai Stange**) - general experience sharing after 1+ years of livepatching being [comercially] supported in distributions (**Josh Poimboeuf?, Jiri Kosina, ... ?**) ===== In case you'd like to have anything modified/added, please let me know.
