Boot and Core OS

The Linux Plumbers 2013 Core OS track is focusing on everything that allows userspace to boot and to continue running. We want to focus on the most basic, central building blocks of our OSes: the stuff that sits on top the kernel and below the applications and glues everything together, more specifically: the init system, device management, system startup, initial ram disks, and everything else that is necessary to get userspace running and make sure it continues running.

The fastboot microconference has been merged with the boot and core OS microconference.

Out of focus for this track is everything that covers particular subsystems, if those subsystems are not a crucial part of the OS.

Possible topics:

  • boot loaders/boot loader specification
    • fastboot topics
      • UBI Fastmap support
      • multicore/parallelism
        • decompress boot blocks in parallel with DMA loading
      • sharing
        • log sharing between boot loader and kernel
        • UBI attach sharing
  • Kernel
    • fastboot topics
      • memory initialization speedup
      • multicore/parallelism in init
      • deferred init
      • preconfiguration vs probing for busses
      • size reduction
      • rootfs mount speedup
      • Preloading
  • systemd
    • fastboot topics
      • fast path to first applications
  • dracut
  • kdbus/IPC
  • systemd-journald/message ids/message catalog
  • multi-session on seats other than seat0
