After an epic battle the tips of each Android build are ready to be released.
Of special note is Bernhard's contribution which not only landed many
patches to fix strict-aliasing issues in the code but pushed 3
changes:
skia: Add -ffast-math, -flto
http://review.android.git.linaro.org/#change,773
opengl: Enable -flto and -ffast-math
http://review.android.git.linaro.org/#change,774
and:
iMX53: Switch to kernel 3.1
http://review.android.git.linaro.org/#change,777
...after sorting a couple of config options that weren't correct:
<bero> -CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xC0000000 works!
<bero> +CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0x80000000 broken
<bero> -CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G=y works!
<bero> +CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G=y broken
The first 2 changes have a fairly dramatic effect on the builds,
making them work much better and smoothly. Although the new iMX53
build based on the 3.1 kernel needs some work, getting over this hump
is a major achievement.
Here are all the tip builds. Each has been verified.
