[PATCH 0/1] Ftrace: Timestamps of entry into C states and P states

by srinivas.kalaga＠arm.com

From: srinivas <srinivas.kalaga(a)arm.com> The following patches add power events in /debug/tracing/events/power. These patches have been tested and applied only on the latest OMAP pm branch. The first diff set is for cpufreq and second one for cpuidle framework. The first diff patch applies only if OPP layer is included in the OMAP kernel. Review comments are welcome. srinivas (1): Ftrace: Timestamp of entry into low power states and performance states arch/arm/plat-omap/cpu-omap.c | 2 ++ drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)

Capturing usage information

by Michael Hope

I'd like to record the running of a typical program such as Firefox, GCC, or ffmpeg and capture the calls and arguments to functions like strcpy() and memcpy(). The idea is to generate a usage profile so we can tell what standard library functions and what variants (i.e. aligned/unaligned, small copy/large copy) to attack first. Does anyone know of existing research with this information, or existing tools that could capture it? My fallback is to use a LD_PRELOAD trick to replace the interesting functions with tracing versions. -- Michael

Adding packages to image seeds

by Amit Kucheria

Hi, As a followup to a conversation I had with Alexander (asac) on IRC, i'd like to request the addition of some packages to the headless image. This is to make the images more useful out-of-the-box. - ifplugd (dhcp networking) - screen (multiple terminals over a serial console) - vim (or any other more complete editor than the vi that ships with busybox) - openssh (atleast server) More useful tools to consider (but might be more insteresting only to kernel devs) - lsusb - latencytop - input-utils - iotop Regards, Amit

[Linaro-dev] Maverick cross toolchain

by Marcin Juszkiewicz

Hi At Linaro we are working on cross toolchain for ARM/EABI target (known as 'armel' in Debian and Ubuntu based systems). We base on work made by Debian and Ubuntu toolchain maintainers. Latest version of cross toolchains are available in prebuilt form on: http://people.canonical.com/~hrw/ubuntu-maverick-armel-cross-compilers/ I provide there gcc-4.4, gcc-4.5, binutils and eglibc packages. Use them, report bugs to Ubuntu launchpad. Regards, -- JID: hrw(a)jabber.org Website: http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/marcinjuszkiewicz

[raof@ubuntu.com: Xserver 1.9 transition]

by Alexander Sack

FYI (CCed Chris if you have questions) ----- Forwarded message from Christopher James Halse Rogers <raof(a)ubuntu.com> ----- From: Christopher James Halse Rogers <raof(a)ubuntu.com> To: ubuntu-devel-discuss <ubuntu-devel-discuss(a)lists.ubuntu.com>, ubuntu-devel-announce(a)lists.ubuntu.com, ubuntu-x <ubuntu-x(a)lists.ubuntu.com> Subject: Xserver 1.9 transition X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.6 required=0.8 tests=BAYES_00,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 Summary for the impatient: ******************************************************************** A new X server is soon to be uploaded which requires all the drivers to be rebuilt. Be careful when upgrading in the next few days. ******************************************************************** As promised earlier in the cycle, we've got the second X server transition coming up. This will take us to X server 1.9, which features improvements to startup time, some memory usage improvements, and many DRI2 fixes. The 1.9 server has a new input and video ABI which means existing driver packages will break. The server needs to be uploaded first so the new drivers build against the correct ABI, which means that there will be a period where safe upgrades will have held-back packages. The dependencies should ensure that you won't accidentally get a non-working combination of X server and drivers, but be careful if an upgrade wants to remove X packages. Happy testing! -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss(a)lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss ----- End forwarded message ----- - Alexander

Making a QEMU to make our lives easier

by Michael Hope

Morning all. Peter Maydell from ARM has just joined Toolchain WG and will initially be working on QEMU. As part of that I'd like him to make a QEMU/Kernel/Distribution combination that makes our lives easier - something that replaces the limited memory, obsolete hardware ARM versatile kernel that we use at the moment and that can be used for a development, buildd, and debootstrap host. This cuts across all of our groups as it needs kernel input, will be done by toolchain, and hopefully consumed by user platforms. A blueprint is available at: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/qemu-linaro/+spec/qemu-focused-kernel Feedback would be appreciated, -- Michael
