Now that the Linaro release is shipping with a 2.6.35 kernel, we need to move forward. I therefore created a linux-linaro-2.6.36 tree which contains the v2.6.36 core code but with the latest ARM specific pieces from mainline.
This branch is meant to be stable i.e. it won't be rebased, and only patches believed to be in a state ready for mainline inclusion should be merged in that tree. That should provide a more recent basis for people wanting to forward port their work but who are not comfy with a -rc kernel.
Of course this didn't get any significant level of testing yet. Please report any issue you may have with it.

Do we have any working configs for linaro supported platforms for use with this tree?
I quickly tried to build omap based on the packaged stable kernel config, but I ran into some errors -- let me know if you want more detail.
For the Thumb-2 and SMP-UP integration work I'd like a config with a full set of modules that I can test, but I don't care so much about what platform it is.

The omap2plus_defconfig works for me, on OMAP3 and OMAP4 both.
Could you let me know what errors you see? I can take a stab at fixing them. (Or just point me to your config).

SMP_ON_UP is working on this kernel I think - the OMAP4 booted up with both cores, while the OMAP3 - a unicore cpu - also booted up with the same image.

OK, I'll probably pick up that config as a starting point -- thanks.

Unfortunately I threw the tree away, but I'll try to regenerate it at some point and let you know.

That's good news. I will certainly give it a try.
The challenge is expected when getting this working with Thumb-2 ;)

I did a quick boot test with the pandaboard, and can boot up to a serial console on ttyO2. I used the omap2plus_defconfig to build. The same image boots up on OMAP3 as well.
