An epic roadmap card has been proposed to the TSC for big.LITTLE MP work going forward: http://cards.linaro.org/browse/CARD-190

QA

The Linaro QA team is ramping up to support big.LITTLE MP and Naresh has put together a set of blueprints that support the test plan:

As tests are run the collected statistics will be published with these updates.

Please accept my apologies for missing the meeting this morning. Here is my report from last week:

1. Produced a patch to allow all CPUs to be no-CBs CPUs, currently testing and chasing down bugs.

2. Worked with Oleg Nesterov on algorithm that could address potential scalability issues with get_online_cpus(). The concern is with increased usage of get_online_cpus().

3. Rebase and merging for 3.8 merge window.

Thanx, Paul
