Hi all,
This patch set is to upstream ST-Ericsson thermal driver and fix some bugs
of thermal layer at the same time.
All of these patches are based on v3.7-rc1.
[PATCH 1/5] Thermal: do bind operation after thermal zone or cooling
device register returns.
In the previous bind function, cdev->get_max_state(cdev, &max_state) is called
before the registration function finishes, but at this moment, the parameter
cdev at thermal driver layer isn't ready--it will get ready only after its
registration, so the the get_max_state callback cannot tell the max_state
according to the cdev input.
This problem can be fixed by separating the bind operation out of registration
and doing it when registration completely finished.
There is no such problem with the current exynos thermal driver because it
regsters cooling device before thermal zone device. As a generic thermal layer
any sequence should be supported, thermal zone first or cooling device first,
this will be also helpful to add/remove cooling device dynamically.
[PATCH 2/5] Thermal: add indent for code alignment.
[PATCH 3/5] Thermal: fix empty list checking method.
[PATCH 4/5] Thermal: make sure cpufreq cooling register after
cpufreq driver
Bug fix for generic cpufreq cooling layer as described in the commit logs.
[PATCH 5/5] Thermal: Add ST-Ericsson db8500 thermal dirver.
This patch is to add ST-Ericsson into the latest kervel version.

1.7.11.3
The discussion about having different cpus on the system with
different latencies bring us to a first attemp by adding a
pointer in the cpuidle_device to the states array.
But as Rafael suggested, it would make more sense to create a
driver per cpu [1].
This patch adds support for multiple cpuidle drivers.
It creates a per cpu cpuidle driver pointer.
In order to not break the different drivers, the function cpuidle_register_driver
assign for each cpu, the driver.
The multiple driver support is optional and if it is not set, the cpuide driver
core code remains the same (except some code reorganisation).
I did the following tests compiled, booted, tested without/with CONFIG_CPU_IDLE,
with/without CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_MULTIPLE_DRIVERS.
Tested on Core2 Duo T9500 with acpi_idle [and intel_idle]
Tested on ARM Dual Cortex-A9 U8500 (aka Snowball)
V1 tested on Tegra3 and Vexpress TC2
[1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg37921.html

1.7.12.rc2.18.g61b472e
Hi all,
this patch series implements Xen support for ARMv7 with virtualization
extensions. It allows a Linux guest to boot as dom0 and
as domU on Xen on ARM. PV console, disk and network frontends and
backends are all working correctly.
It has been tested on a Versatile Express Cortex A15 emulator, using the
latest Xen ARM developement branch
(git://xenbits.xen.org/people/ianc/xen-unstable.git arm-for-4.3) plus
the "ARM hypercall ABI: 64 bit ready" patch series
(http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=134426267205408), and a simple ad-hoc
tool to build guest domains (marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=134089788016546).
The patch marked with [HACK] shouldn't be applied and is part of the
series only because it is needed to create domUs.
I am also attaching to this email the dts'es that I am currently using
for dom0 and domU: vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1.dts (that includes
vexpress-v2m-rs1-rtsm.dtsi) is the dts used for dom0 and it is passed to
Linux by Xen, while vexpress-virt.dts is the dts used for other domUs
and it is appended in binary form to the guest kernel image. I am not
sure where they are supposed to live yet, so I am just attaching them
here so that people can actually try out this series if they want to.
Comments are very welcome!
Changes in v3:
- move patches that have been picked up by Konrad at the end of the
series;
- improve comments;
- add a doc to describe the Xen Device Tree format;
- do not use xen_ulong_t for multicalls and apic_physbase;
- add a patch at the end of the series to use the new __HVC macro;
- add missing pvclock-abi.h include to ia64 header files;
- do not use an anonymous union in struct xen_add_to_physmap.
Changes in v2:
- fix up many comments and commit messages;
- remove the early_printk patches: rely on the emulated serial for now;
- remove the xen_guest_init patch: without any PV early_printk, we don't
need any early call to xen_guest_init, we can rely on core_initcall
alone;
- define an HYPERCALL macro for 5 arguments hypercall wrappers, even if
at the moment is unused;
- use ldm instead of pop in the hypercall wrappers;
- return -ENOSYS rather than -1 from the unimplemented grant_table
functions;
- remove the pvclock ifdef in the Xen headers;
- remove include linux/types.h from xen/interface/xen.h;
- replace pr_info with pr_debug in xen_guest_init;
- add a new patch to introduce xen_ulong_t and use it top replace all
the occurences of unsigned long in the public Xen interface;
- explicitely size all the pointers to 64 bit on ARM, so that the
hypercall ABI is "64 bit ready";
- clean up xenbus_init;
- make pci.o depend on CONFIG_PCI and acpi.o depend on CONFIG_ACPI;
- mark Xen guest support on ARM as EXPERIMENTAL;
- introduce GRANT_TABLE_PHYSADDR;
- remove unneeded initialization of boot_max_nr_grant_frames;
- add a new patch to clear IRQ_NOAUTOEN and IRQ_NOREQUEST in events.c;
- return -EINVAL from xen_remap_domain_mfn_range if
auto_translated_physmap;
- retain binary compatibility in xen_add_to_physmap: use a union to
introduce foreign_domid.

A branch based on 3.5-rc7 is available here (the __HVC patch is missing
from this branch because it depends on "ARM: opcodes: Facilitate custom
opcode injection" http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=134442896128124):

After a fair amount of dicking about I have managed to build a
cross-toolchain for arm64/aarch64 which installs on Ubuntu Quantal. It
even builds packages, although it has at least one notable limitation,
and I have no idea if it produces working code yet :-)
The main limitation is that the default library search paths have come
out as the old dpkg-cross ones, not the new multiarch ones. If someone
can tell me where to fix that it would be very helpful and I'll try
and put an updated one in the repo.
In the meantime you can work round it effectively using
/etc/dpkg/buildflags. (see wiki page below for details)
The cross-toolchain only supports C, C++ and fortran with no extras
like libssp, libmudflap etc, because there is no architecture support
for them yet.
I started a port page to keep track of things here:
http://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port
And if you want to set up a quantal chroot and see if you can build
things, details are here:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/CrossCompile/arm64bootstrap
The bottom line is that you can debootstrap (or sbuild-createchroot) a
quantal chroot, add the bootstrap repo and do 'apt-get install
crossbuild-essential-arm64' and get a working cross-build environment.
The repo is here:
http://people.debian.org/~wookey/bootstrap.html
That should be useable for both dpkg-cross style bulding or
multiarch-style bulding.
The repo also contains updated dpkg-cross, multiarch python, multiarch
perl, updated dpkg with buildprofile/staging support, sbuild (although
in fact I think stock sbuild should work OK), and dose-builddebcheck
which can tell you what things are currently cross-buildable from
available binaries and sources. Most of that is pretty new and not
very well tested but 'it works for me'.
More arm64 packages will be along soon (dose3 currently indicates 40
more buildabale packages), but there is plenty still to fix for a full
debootstrap-able arm64 package set.
Anyone keen to help with bootstrapping the port is very welcome. There
will be a session about it at UDS next week, and a more general one on
distro bootrapping at the Armv8 minisummit a the co-located linaro
connect. And I'll be giving a talk about this stuff at Linxconf-Europe
in Barcelona the week after.
I think that's all for now. Enjoy, and tell me what breaks :-)

Great!
This page gives some ideas on how to rebuild the filesystem and how to
fix some common issues:
https://wiki.linaro.org/HowTo/ARMv8/OpenEmbedded
Perhaps you want to try to build this or that software you care about,
or just try "bitbake world" to build as many things as possible and see
what breaks :-)

Hi All,
This is V2 of my sched_select_cpu() work.
In order to save power, it would be useful to schedule work onto non-IDLE cpus
instead of waking up an IDLE one.
To achieve this, we need scheduler to guide kernel frameworks (like: timers &
workqueues) on which is the most preferred CPU that must be used for these
tasks.
This patchset is about implementing this concept.
- The first patch adds sched_select_cpu() routine which returns the preferred
cpu which is non-idle.
- Second patch removes idle_cpu() calls from timer & hrtimer.
- Third patch is about adapting this change in workqueue framework.
Earlier discussions over v1 can be found here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org/msg13342.html
Earlier discussions over this concept were done at last LPC:
http://summit.linuxplumbersconf.org/lpc-2012/meeting/90/lpc2012-sched-timer…
Module created for testing this behavior is present here:
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/vireshk/module.git;a=summary
Following are the steps followed in test module:
1. Run single work on each cpu
2. This work will start a timer after x (tested with 10) jiffies of delay
3. Timer routine queues a work... (This may be called from idle or non-idle cpu)
and starts the same timer again STEP 3 is done for n number of times (i.e.
queuing n works, one after other)
4. All works will call a single routine, which will count following per cpu:
- Total works processed by a CPU
- Total works processed by a CPU, which are queued from it
- Total works processed by a CPU, which aren't queued from it
Setup:
-----
- ARM Vexpress TC2 - big.LITTLE CPU
- Core 0-1: A15, 2-4: A7
- rootfs: linaro-ubuntu-nano
Results:
-------
Without Workqueue Modification, i.e. PATCH 3/3:

V1->V2
-----
- New SD_* macros removed now and earlier ones used
- sched_select_cpu() rewritten and it includes the check on current cpu's
idleness.
- cpu_idle() calls from timer and hrtimer removed now.
- Patch 2/3 from V1, removed as it doesn't apply to latest workqueue branch from
tejun.
- CONFIG_MIGRATE_WQ removed and so is wq_select_cpu()
- sched_select_cpu() called only from __queue_work()
- got tejun/for-3.7 branch in my tree, before making workqueue changes.

__cpufreq_driver_target() must not pass target frequency beyond the limits of

Today most of cpufreq platform drivers are doing this check in their target
