I'm always hyping perfetto, because it's *really really* cool! Lalit does amazing work and has been super helpful sharing his knowledge on both how to do things in perfetto and even how to add features to the code for things I found missing. So it's great to see his post about his presentation from the Tracing Summit.

One neat thing in the talk is the examples show how perfetto can also ingest and visualize perf and trace-cmd output if those tools for capturing data are more familiar then perfetto's own!

#kernel #LinuxKernel

SoC maintainership in the Linux kernel (long time ago called arm-soc) is growing into a group of maintainers. Four new people joined @arnd for SoC: Alexandre Belloni, Linus Walleij and me (yay!) as co-maintainers, and @fustini as a reviewer:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b2a578f3127ab9ef80114cef9b20a2b42a8ee77a

Arnd, previously the sole SoC maintainer, handled pull requests and patches from several other sub-maintainers for each SoC sub-architecture (e.g. Qualcomm, NXP) and other driver trees. The SoC tree was one of the busiest, if not the busiest, trees in kernel - visible on @lwn.net graph: https://lwn.net/Articles/981742/

With this change the load will hopefully spread.

@conor thanks!

@conor What plugins do you use? I use nvim but I feel like I'm too vanilla. I've been meaning to do something a bit more fancy.

@monsieuricon 'ChaosEsque Team' has been sending rude spam. Is it possible to block them on the kernel.org lists?

@monsieuricon Thanks for dealing with that. I love b4 and lore!
