Initial Linaro+Android kernel for 11.12 is available

by john stultz

Zach reminded me that this month is compressed, so a linaro+android kernel would be needed immediately for 11.12. As Andrey is just ramping up in taking over for the Linaro Android kernel maintenance, I wanted to just get a kernel out, using the older kernel workflow, so that we had something current for 11.12. Anyway. This is straight from Andy Green's linaro-androidization-tracking branch, with a few small build fixes added on that I found in my testing and the base android_*_defconfig files. You can find the tree here: git://android.git.linaro.org/kernel/linaro-android.git linaro-android-3.2-agreen-rebase The current sha is tagged as: linux-linaro-3.2-2011.12-0-android-0 Known issues: There seems to be something in the androidization branch that is causing problems on beagle xm and origen. In my testing beagle xm kernel ends up hanging in mid-boot(after ~4 seconds). And the orgien board doesn't show anything past "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel". If I drop the androidization patches and go back to the v3.2-rc4 base, both kernels boot until the Android userland environment starts and falls over because the android features are missing. I mucked about for awhile on both of these tonight, but wasn't able to solve either of them, so I'd appreciate any help trying to narrow down what is wrong on Origen (beagle is apparently lower priority). Andy, one issue with the re-factored android patch tree: Its not very bisect-able. If I jump back to a topic branch, frequently there are missing dependencies that keep it from building. Any thoughts on how we can better chase down these sorts of issues? thanks -john

Screen going black with power saving disabled

by E V

Greetings, I have disabled power saving features in linaro ubuntu 11.10 on a PandaBoard, in order to prevent the screen going black, since there is no mouse nor keyboard attached to the board (It is simply displaying videos, in a closed loop). But when I reboot (Or power up after a time with the board off) sometimes this works, and sometimes not. There seems not to be any kind of rule for it to work, it can fail 5 or 6 times (going black after 10 minutes, even when it is set to "never"), and later work ok for 3 or 4 reboots. And then, fail again. Can anyone enlighten me a bit? Sorry for the joke, but my brain is almost as dark as black the screen goes... thanks in advance,

[RFC PATCH 0/2] thermal: Add generic cpu cooling devices according to thermal framework

by Amit Daniel Kachhap

PATCH 1) [thermal: Add a new trip type to use cooling device instance number] This patch adds a new trip type THERMAL_TRIP_STATE_ACTIVE which passes cooling device instance number and may be helpful for cpufreq cooling devices to take the correct cooling action. PATCH 2) [thermal: Add generic cpu cooling implementation] This patch adds generic cpu cooling low level implementation through frequency clipping and cpu hotplug. In future, other cpu related cooling devices may be added here. An ACPI version of this already exists(drivers/acpi/processor_thermal.c). But this will be useful for platforms like ARM using the generic thermal interface along with the generic cpu cooling devices. The cooling device registration API's return cooling device pointers which can be easily binded with the thermal zone trip points.

[PATCH V6 0/7] add a generic cpufreq driver

by Richard Zhao

The driver is based on clock and regulator APIs and support single core and multi core ARM SoCs. For multi core, it assume all cores share the same clock and voltage. Thanks Arnd, Mark, Jamie, Shawn, Rob, for your review. Changes in V6: - add scaling_available_freqs Changes in V5: - add more comments - rename trans-latency to clk-trans-latency, and it only describe clk latency. Regulator latency is got from regulator_set_voltage_time. Changes in v4: - add depends on HAVE_CLK && OF && REGULATOR - add set_cpu_freq fail check - regulator_put wehn module exit - add pr_fmt and convert all printk to pr_xxx - use voltage range - comment and doc fix - add cpu_volts value pre-check in module init - add helpfull module parameter max_freq - remove compatible string check on Arnd's comment. - remove generic-cpufreq to clk-reg-cpufreq Changes in v3: - move adjusting smp loops_per_jiffy to arm common code, and also adjust global loops_per_jiffy. - remove adjusting loops_per_jiffy in imx and omap cpufreq drivers. - check compatible "generic-cpufreq" when module_init - change printk to pr_xxx - add generic-cpufreq DT binding doc Changes in v2: - add volatage change support - change '_' in property name to '-' - use initial value to calculate loops_per_jiffy - fix reading cpu_volts property bug - let cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo routines handle cpu_freq_khz_max/min - don't change freq in arm_cpufreq_exit, because every core share the same freq. - use unsigned long describe frequency as much as possible. Because clk use unsigned long, but cpufreq use unsigned int.

[PATCH v4 0/6] common clk framework

by Mike Turquette

From: Mike Turquette <mturquette(a)ti.com> The common clk framework is an attempt to define a generic struct clk which most platforms can use to build a clk tree and perform a set of well-defined operations. The previous patchset, v3, can be found at, http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1218622 New stuff in v4: * clk rate change notifiers * clk debug info via debugfs (instead of sysfs) * lots of bug fixes Stuff that is known to be missing in v4: * basic mux and divider clk types * fix for migrating clk_prepare_count/clk_enable_count in clk_set_parent * minor rework comments from v3 * Documentation/clk.txt needs love All of the mising items above will be rolled into v5 ASAP. I wanted to go ahead and push out the new notifier changes for review and gather comments on those since those were a big gap in the v3 patchset. Paul W. also had some good comments about the greater clk API, and the opportunity to fix some of that stuff while this patchset is still under discussion. I didn't address those here because they require more thought, and more comments from reviewers. Finally, OMAP4 support for the common struct clk will be posted immediately after this patch series to LAKML and LOML, along with some hack patches that show how to use the recursive clk_set_rate for propagating rate changes up the tree for CPUfreq and how to use the new clk rate change notifiers in a driver.

This patchset add support for Samsung's SMDK5250 board based on EXYNOS5250 based SoC. It also adds support for MMC SPL booting. The porting is done by Samsung engineers at HQ in System LSI Team.
