Hi Nicolas, This is a request to pull L2 retention cpuidle implementation from git://git.linaro.org/people/amitdanielk/linux.git (branch- samsung_cpuidle_l2_retention) The top 5 patches on this refers to the work and this is heavily based on Russell's rmk-next tree. So if it is possible to take this patches for this month linaro release then please pull them. All these patches with minor modifications will be upstreamed to mainline once Russell tree is in sync with Samsung's maintainers tree. Thanks, Amit Daniel Linaro PMWG member

Linaro Kernel October 2011 Release

by Deepak Saxena

The Linaro Kernel Working Group (KWG) is excited to announce the availability our October 2011 development snapshot: linux-linaro-3.1-2011.10-1 As the word "snapshot" implies, these are meant as development kernels and have not been fully validated. You should expect issues and to help us deliver a better kernel in the future, please file bugs in Launchpad at https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux-linaro. The source tarball is available at: http://launchpad.net/linux-linaro/3.1/3.1-2011.10/+download/linux-linaro-3.… The kernel sources can also be accessed using git at: git://git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-3.1.git tag: linux-linaro-3.1-2011.10-1 In addition to an update to the 3.1 (-rc10) kernel, this kernel includes the following changes that are queued up for 3.2: - An EHCI slowdown workaround from Ming Lei - Thumb-2 undef handling fix for multi-CPU kernels from Dave Martin - ARM cpu topology definition from Vincent Guittot - RMK's devel-stable branch from last week that contains (among others): - Runtime consistent dma size init from Tixy - boot_params to atag_offset transition froma Nicolas Pitre - ARM pmu/perf updates from Will Deacon - The ability to append a DT to zImage from Nicolas Pitre - The ARM kprobes test infrastructure from Tixy - Suspend/resume consolidation and cleanups from RMK - cpu pm notifiers on ARM from Colin Cross A full change log against the 2011.09 release is available at: http://launchpad.net/linux-linaro/3.1/3.1-2011.10/+download/CHANGELOG-linux… High Priority Known Issues: - We have seen issues with boards not rebooting in our CI lab but so far Nicolas has been unable to reproduce it on his systems and we've not seen any reports of this on upstream 3.1-rc trees. Please download and test the kernel on your platforms and add notes to the following LP bug if you are able to reproduce this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-ci/+bug/860556 Mailing list: http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev Questions? https://ask.linaro.org/

The Value of Thumb-2

by Christian Robottom Reis

Hello there, Coming back from Asia I've been putting a lot of thought about how we can make sure we spend our engineering cycles on the work that is most valuable to the current Linaro members, and part of that means reassessing assumptions that we've carried since our foundation. The first point I want to raise is Thumb-2, the alternative ISA described by ARM like this: For performance optimised code Thumb-2 technology uses 31 percent less memory to reduce system cost, while providing up to 38 percent higher performance than existing high density code, which can be used to prolong battery-life or to enrich the product feature set. Thumb-2 technology is featured in the processor, and in all ARMv7 architecture-based processors. We've from the beginning set Thumb-2 in our standard configuration across platforms, but outside of Ubuntu, I think we're unique in that. So the questions I have are: - Do we know how much better Thumb-2 actually is, in practice? It's easy for us to confirm this on Android; what do the numbers and feel of the system tell us? - What are the downsides to using Thumb-2 in general? Do we have anecdotes or threads that talk about bad experiences or blockers in the transition? - If it's so great, how could we lead a wide-ranging transition to Thumb2 becoming the standard ISA for modern v7 applications, including Android, Yocto and anything else relevant that runs on a Cortex A?

I will start cutting Android's RC release at 23:59:00 UTC on Friday, 2011/10/21

by Zach Pfeffer

So its basically like Sunday ;) As a point of interest here's how I cut the builds. I boot each tip: ~linaro-android/staging-origen ~linaro-android/staging-panda ~linaro-android/staging-imx53 ~linaro-android/staging-snowball ~linaro-android/landing-snowball ~linaro-android/tracking-panda ~linaro-android/panda ~linaro-android/beagle I take the pinned-manifest.xml from the last working tip build, commit it to the 11.10 release branch and kick off the released builds: ~linaro-android/staging-origen-11.10-release ~linaro-android/staging-panda-11.10-release ~linaro-android/staging-imx53-11.10-release ~linaro-android/staging-snowball-11.10-release ~linaro-android/landing-snowball-11.10-release ~linaro-android/tracking-panda-11.10-release ~linaro-android/panda-11.10-release ~linaro-android/beagle-11.10-release Abhishek and I then run through the tests from left to right on: https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnpUtxWjZbP9dGFDU… ...for every build and board combo and file bugs or update existing bugs for anything that doesn't work. Its currently around 192 tests; to grow soon. Tests are documented here: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/QA/TestCases/Android Then I send an email to Fathi with the exact build number of the release. -- Zach Pfeffer Android Platform Team Lead, Linaro Platform Teams Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog

linaro-media-create/linaro-android-media-create command line options changes

by Fathi Boudra

Hi, linaro-media-create/linaro-android-media-create command line options are now using dashes to separate words instead of underscores. e.g. "--image_size" becomes "--image-size" This changes is available on the bzr repository and will be part of 2011.10 release. Please, update your scripts and install instructions that are using the deprecated command line options.

[PATCH 1/4] pinctrl: get_group_pins() const fixes

by Stephen Warren

get_group_pins() "returns" a pointer to an array of const objects, through a pointer parameter. Fix the prototype so what's pointed at by the returned pointer is const, rather than the function parameter being const. This also allows the removal of a cast in each of the two current pinmux drivers.
