Good evening,
First post on this list so I apologize in advance if I post on the wrong list.
I am desperately looking for a working thumb-2 kernel tree. I am currently using the dirty/arm/omap-thumb2+merged branch from
git://git.linaro.org/people/dmart/linux-2.6-arm.git repo,
since it is the only one that compiles for me. However, to my understanding, this is not a very 'safe' branch to use on daily basis. Is that true? Is there a more 'stable' git branch which I can compile as thumb-2 and use it for my projects. I keep searching online for kernel+thumb2 references and most of them point to this linaro git tree.
Regards,

Welcome to the list!
I am desperately looking for a working thumb-2 kernel tree. I am currently using the dirty/arm/omap-thumb2+merged branch from
git://git.linaro.org/people/dmart/linux-2.6-arm.git repo,
since it is the only one that compiles for me. However, to my understanding, this is not a very 'safe' branch to use on daily basis. Is that true? Is there a more 'stable' git branch which I can compile as thumb-2 and use it for my projects. I keep searching online for kernel+thumb2 references and most of them point to this linaro git tree.
My understanding is that the omap thumb2 support is fully merged in the current 2.6.38 tree, available at git://git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-2.6.38.git. We've been discussing just today on IRC where and how to enable this for wider testing in precompiled package form; if you're looking to get at thumb2-enabled source, that's definitely the tree to go to.
If you run into any problems with it, please let us know!

Excellent. I wasn't aware of that tree to be honest. I briefly looked for a gitweb on linaro.org but I didn't find anything. Anyway, I will check that tree as soon as possible. Can you please tell me or redirect me to the policy of that tree compared to the mainline kernel? For example, is this tree following the mainline kernel closely or it is your "playground"?

You shouldn't rely on my trees for something stable-- they're just a testbed for changes which aren't upstream yet, and may contain patches which don't get upstream, as well as getting rebased rather frequently.
The .38 tree is new, and my patches were only pushed there yesterday... but I suggest to move to it now that it's available.

There's some explanation of the the main kernel/linux-linaro-xxx trees on git.linaro.org here:

Hope that helps!
