Hi!

I'm interested to participate. My only constraint is that the tracing
summit is on August 20th, and overlaps with one day of LPC. Let's hope
we can find a way to have this track on a different day.

I'm planning to work some more on a efficient per-cpu spinlock & data
prototype for userspace. This could be an interesting topic for LPC.
I'm aware of Paul Turner's work in this area. Let's say I'm trying a
less intrusive approach.

Thanks!

Mathieu
