by Tony Mansson

<pfefferz> all right so welcome to 12.02! the goal is to mkae snowball work great and origen iMX53 is semi blocked <bero> There's still stuff to try there <pfefferz> and panda gets a lot of attention <bero> But it would be really useful to get some more information <pfefferz> bero, lets hold off on iMX53 until we have more info <jackh> the three bugs assigned to me, i tried this afternoon, two of them still there <pfefferz> can you send the current issue set in? jackh, cool <jackh> the gallery one does not there <pfefferz> did you update the thrid? that's good feel free to list the build where you don't see it in the bug everyone we have a new team member jackh, aka Chenglie has joined us from IBM <jackh> it's Chengjie He <pfefferz> welcome Chengjie <bero> Welcome jackh <pabhishek> welcome jackh <pfefferz> right ;) <jackh> haha, just call me jacky for short... <bhoj2> welcom jackh :) <botao_sun> jackh: I will give you a brief later about compiling the code. <pfefferz> its great to have you on the Android team Chengjie He we'll do another welcome round on wednesday ;) <jackh> pls do it face to face, zach... haha, joking <pfefferz> :) so we're gonna focus on getting our tests all green its a big job as usuual :) we've had some good pickup by the member companies of our concerns so we shouldn't be as blocked as we were we also have connect abs and elc as a reminder all presentations for elc and abs have to be submitted a week before the event also for everyone doing a session please have a rough agenda listed something like here's where we are here's where we need to be I'm going to take a more passive role during other people's sessions this time :) any questions or comments? <mansson__> Prepare a "lightning talk" version of your session (5 min.) good to have. <pfefferz> good point mansson__ <pfefferz> the highest prio thing we have right now is the demo at connect most everyone is involoved in getting it to happen I suspect we'll be spending a bunch of time in the hacking sessions making it work I have to get a poster together so one more thing people arte really starting to use our builds 1. because they're easy to use 2. they work 3. they can talk to us on irc this means they're looking at our BPs to see how our work is progressing so that's all I had thanks for setting the meeting up Tony anyone have anything else? <mansson__> I think everything is pretty clear. We continue to make a lasting impression on human evolution. Making ARM Linux history. <pfefferz> exactly! <mansson__> 15 out of 50 talks at ELC are by Linaro people. <pfefferz> hehe not bad for a non-sponser seriously guys we're changing the world every little thing we get working has a giant impact okay <pfefferz> mansson__, would you send this transcript out to everyone? <mansson__> Yes. <pfefferz> thanks!

[PATCH] module: avoid call vmalloc if init size is zero

by Dmitry Antipov

For the architectures with it's own module_alloc(), if module init size is zero, avoiding module_alloc_update_bounds() and memset() no-op calls also eliminates warn_alloc_failed() zero-size warning in __vmalloc_node_range().

2012-01 Samsung kernel trees

by Vic Berdin

Hi everyone, Any chance the linux-linaro-*-lt-samsung kernel trees will get updated (soon)? By the way, is there a daily/nightly build source for these trees? I am eager to try them out. TIA - Vic

Linaro Android build(s)

by hedwin

Gents, For some time now I am trying to build android from the linaro repos. Sofar I never succedded, it always resulted in build failures or it doesn't boot. So what did it do: I tried the 11.12 release staging and tracking. Got the last to build after switching to the 4.6 toolchain (nowhere documented) and added an include to the png.c file (it misted a math.h include, weird). It only didn't boot correctly because the kernel failed to initialise the GPU. So I switched to the 12.01 release. First used the "release-12.01" branch, build failure. Then switched to the "linaro_android_4.0.3" branch Used the same as mentioned in the build service build overview. Also used the same setup as mentioned in the build service. Build fails. Odd thing is that someone must be able to get a successfull build because ready available images do exist. So how did these get build? How do I get a good build? Cheers, Hedwin PS, below the build error in the 12.01 release: workCoreTests_install_verifier_good_intermediates/package.apk) com.google.doclava.apicheck.ApiParseException: Error parsing API at com.google.doclava.apicheck.XmlApiFile.parseApi(XmlApiFile.java:60) at com.google.doclava.apicheck.ApiCheck.parseApi(ApiCheck.java:152) at com.google.doclava.apicheck.ApiCheck.convertToXml(ApiCheck.java:234) at com.google.doclava.apicheck.ApiCheck.main(ApiCheck.java:64) Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog. at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:195) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.fatalError(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:174) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(XMLErrorReporter.java:388) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLScanner.reportFatalError(XMLScanner.java:1414) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl$PrologDriver.next(XMLDocumentScannerImpl.java:1039) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl.next(XMLDocumentScannerImpl.java:648) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.next(XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.java:140) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:511) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:808) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:737) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:119) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(AbstractSAXParser.java:1205) at com.google.doclava.apicheck.XmlApiFile.parseApi(XmlApiFile.java:54) ... 3 more Error parsing API: frameworks/base/api/current.txt make: *** [out/target/common/obj/APPS/SignatureTest_intermediates/api.xml] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Linaro kernel tree for A15 for daily builds

by Zygmunt Krynicki

HI. I'm building a LAVA service for running fast models. Quite soon (*) we'll be ready to open an alpha access. Right now you will need to bring your own root filesystem and kernel image to use it. With that in mind I wanted to start a discussion about the state of A15 support in Linaro kernel(s). I need to understand two things: 1) Are we ready to do automatic builds for A15 kernels? 2) If so, which configs and trees should we consider Thanks Zygmunt Krynicki

[PATCH] hrtimers: move default_timer_slack_ns to system-wide sysctl

by Dmitry Antipov

- moving default_timer_slack_ns from per-task field to global variable controlled via sysctl() in [0..1000000] range (usecs) provides some more system-wide control beyond per-task prctl(); - task_time_slack() should be used to get default timer slack if no special requirements exists.

Sources for 11.11 kernel release

by Chris Lalancette

(I'm aware that there is a thread on linaro-dev discussing this exact topic; this is a request for specific information, so I decided to start a new thread) Hello, As has been pointed out elsewhere, it is very difficult to find the exact git tree that corresponds to a kernel release. Currently the problem I am having is that the 11.11 linaro kernel release (linux-linaro-lt-omap_3.1.0-1402.5~oneiric1) works well on my new board, but later kernels do not. While I can download the kernel tarball for 3.1.0-1402.5 from launchpad, I would much prefer to use the git tree that it was produced from. Can anybody tell me exactly which git tree was used to create that kernel, and which tag/branch I should be looking at? Thanks, -- Chris Lalancette
