Unrealtone Cable
a project by emiler
Project Description
Device for connecting an electric guitar or bass to a computer via USB-C. It is basically just a glorified A/D converter, although with a twist. It can emulate proprietary commercial devices for use with applications such as Rocksmith. The name comes from the official device for Rocksmith, which is named Realtone Cable.
early stage kdump support
a project by mbrugger
Project Description
When we experience a early boot crash, we are not able to analyze the kernel dump, as user-space wasn't able to load the crash system. The idea is to make the crash system compiled into the host kernel (think of initramfs) so that we can create a kernel dump really early in the boot process.
Modular kernel packaging
a project by mwilck
Project Description
Create a PoC for a modular packaged kernel. This means:
Explore Steam Deck issues in openSUSE Tumbleweed
a project by tschmitz
Project Description
The Steam Deck is a portable gaming handheld built around platform technology similar to the one found in AMD mobile laptops. Vendor Valve ships a custom Linux distribution with downstream patches on this device, but booting into other distributions is possible. Connecting the Steam Deck to a dock can turn it into a compact workstation.
Understand and review klp-convert patchset
a project by mpdesouza
Project Description
klp-convert is a tool that is trying to be merged into the Linux Kernel to help livepatching non exported functions. Since kallsymsoneachsymbol and kallsymslookup_name were unexported, klp-convert appeared to solve the issue by creating relocation entries for non-export functions in the final livepatch module.
Improve Qualcomm SOC msm8994/msm8992 kernel mainline support
a project by pvorel
Project Description
Due previous hackweek (https://hackweek.opensuse.org/projects/test-mainline-kernel-on-an-older-qualcomm-soc-msm89xx-explore-mainline-kernel-qualcomm-mainlining) both msm8994 angler and msm8992 bullhead are booting and due other activity (including my work) both have working SD card, but that's just start. Add support for other functionality.
Create a DRM driver for VGA video cards
a project by tdz
Yes, those VGA video cards. The goal of this project is to implement a DRM graphics driver for such devices. While actual hardware is hard to obtain or even run today, qemu emulates VGA output. VGA has a number of limitations, which make this project interesting.
drgn: implement crash top-level commands
a project by marxin
Project Description
The goal of the project is to implement a collection of top-level crash
commands in drgn
tool. The commands should provide a top-level overview for anybody who opens a kernel core dump. I plan to select a similar set of commands as seen in crash-python
tool.
Authenticated hashes for BTRFS
a project by dsterba
Project Description
Implement a checksum algorithm for BTRFS that uses and authenticated (keyed) hash. There are 2 cryptographically secure hashes supported by btrfs, sha256 and blake2b.
Linux on Cavium CN23XX cards
a project by tsbogend
Before Cavium switched to ARM64 CPUs they developed quite powerful MIPS based SOCs. The current upstream Linux kernel already supports some Octeon SOCs, but not the latest versions. Goal of this Hack Week project is to use the latest Cavium SDK to update the Linux kernel code to let it running on CN23XX network cards.
