LinuxCon + CloudOpen Europe 2013: Kernel Developer Panel
summary
Panel focuses on concrete kernel pain points: how device tree controversy breaks ABIs and forces vendor workarounds, power-aware scheduling for big.LITTLE and memory/bus power dominating CPU power, review bottlenecks on the ARM lists (8–9k mails/month), and contributor shifts to 80% paid contributors with hiring pulling volunteers into jobs. Covers static-analysis fixes, the stable 3.0 backports totalling 4,000 fixes, and the unresolved 2038/32‑bit ABI tradeoffs — watch if you want actionable status and concrete tradeoffs.
