A six-month survey of upstream Linux kernel, QEMU, and OpenSBI development by Tenstorrent contributors, intended as source material for a NotebookLM "deep dive" audio podcast about the team. Drew Fustini's own patch series (CBQRI, Ssqosid, RQSC, kernel-side IOMMU bindings, and his maintainer-hat pull requests) are deliberately excluded: those are the listener's own work and would dilute the focus on coworkers.
The period covered is roughly 2025-11-09 through 2026-05-09, the six
Source: ~/opensbi-mail-archive/2026-{January,February,March,April,May}.txt. Approximately 526 messages across five months, with ~76 from Anup Patel (de-facto maintainer) leading review, and substantial new platform/feature work landing or in flight.
The digest is organized by topic. The first section is a deep dive on Tenstorrent contributors, since the reader is at Tenstorrent and asked for detail there. Subsequent sections cover the broader upstream picture so a NotebookLM "deep dive" episode has enough scaffolding to draw connections, debates, and architectural threads.

Studied from a sample of Drew's lore.kernel.org emails. Index covers 447 emails from fustini April 2020 - July 2025; ~75-80% are replies, the rest cover letters / standalone patches / pull requests. Style is remarkably stable across the 5-year span and across employer changes (gmail -> beagleboard -> baylibre -> tenstorrent -> pdp7.com / fustini@kernel.org).
A technical survey of Arm's Memory Partitioning and Monitoring (MPAM) extension
and the multi-year effort to expose it through the Linux resctrl filesystem.
Written against this tree (Linux v7.0-base, RISC-V CBQRI development branch);
file paths and message-IDs cite primary sources where possible.
