I just removed the COMPAT_43 option from the GENERIC kernel in current. This may result in increased performance for some workloads.
In the last days I also “mentored” a little bit my SoC students. Reviewing some changes, suggesting some imrovements, committing some stuff which is ready, discussing various things and so on.
And last but not least, I hope that the last bugs in the update to the new linux base port are ironed out on the ports build cluster (I did some commits in the last days).
