[PATCH] bootwrapper: Fix check for architected timer

by Jon Medhurst (Tixy)

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon(a)arm.com> We need to set the flags when checking the feature register. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon(a)arm.com> --- I found this patch in another fork of the bootwrapper and it looks like something we should have.

[RFC v2 PATCH 0/2] sched: Integrating Per-entity-load-tracking with the core scheduler

by Preeti U Murthy

This approach aims to retain the current behavior of load balancer with the change being only in the metric consumed during load balancing, without unnecessary introduction of new variables.This RFC has been posted to evaluate its design;to see if this is the right way to go about introducing per-entity-load-tracking metric for the consumers of the same; in this specific case,the load balancer.Once the design has been approved off,I can go around to testing it. The patch has been based out of tip-master:HEAD at commit 8a1d31c703d Subject:Merge branch 'x86/urgent' Grateful to Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar for their valuable feedback on v1 of the RFC which was the foundation for this version. PATCH[1/2] Aims at enabling usage of Per-Entity-Load-Tracking for load balacing PATCH[2/2] The crux of the patchset lies here. --- Preeti U Murthy (2): sched: Revert temporary FAIR_GROUP_SCHED dependency for load-tracking sched: Use Per-Entity-Load-Tracking metric for load balancing include/linux/sched.h | 9 +----- kernel/sched/core.c | 19 +++++------- kernel/sched/fair.c | 76 +++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------- kernel/sched/sched.h | 9 +----- 4 files changed, 43 insertions(+), 70 deletions(-) -- Preeti U Murthy

Build publishing guidelines

by Danilo Šegan

Hi all, I want to remind everyone that we are trying to switch to new BUILD-INFO support for restricting/allowing access to all the builds we create and that end up on snapshots.linaro.org (and we want all builds to end up there). BUILD-INFO.txt supports several ways to control access to your files, and ideally, it should be produced along with the build itself: * open: anyone can access * license protected: anyone can access files after they agree to an included license * openid-protection: choose which Launchpad teams someone has to be a member of before they can access any builds (this replaces Apache-based openid protection that we still have for old builds) Short examples for all three are on https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Infrastructure/Publishing I am sure you can figure out a lot from these examples, but if you are struggling with anything, Platform Infrastructure team will be glad to help. Look for anyone listed in the topic of #linaro-infrastructure channel. Cheers, Danilo

Test Result Summary for Linaro 12.11 Release (Calendar Week 48)

by Botao Sun

Linaro 12.11 Release (Calendar Week 48): Here is test result summary for Linaro ubuntu image on following boards: 1) ARM Versatile Express A9; 2) Open Embedded SDK; 3) Open Embedded LAMP; 4) Open Embedded Minimum. Synopsis: Audio works on ARM Versatile Express A9 Jelly Bean; DS-5 Data Streaming Doesn't work on ARM Versatile Express A9 ubuntu but works well on Android platform; PHP test passed with issue on Open Embedded LAMP image. 1. ARM Versatile Express A9 + ubuntu (Column AK): https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AroPySpr4FnEdFNmV… Latest version of DS-5 (v5.12 build 1571) doesn't work on data streaming, all the other features remain the same. Device Tree is still unavailable due to the defect in UEFI and 480p video playback doesn't work either. For HTML5 YouTube video, after streaming buffer finished, the performance is acceptable. 2. ARM Versatile Express A9 + Android Jelly Bean (Column Q): https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkxwyUNxNaAadExQd… Audio works, now the sound can be heard in Angry Birds and Music App. For latest DS-5 (v5.12 build 1571), data streaming works well. All other features remain the same. 3. Open Embedded SDK in Fast Model (Column C): https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgB-fT5LL31CdDhwR… All test cases passed. 4. Open Embedded LAMP in Fast Model (Column C): https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgB-fT5LL31CdDhwR… PHP test passed with issue - kernel exception messages observed. However, this issue won't affect the system and other functions. All rest tests passed. 5. Open Embedded Minimum in Fast Model (Column C): https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgB-fT5LL31CdDhwR… All test cases passed. For the previous week (Calendar week 46) summary, please refer to attachment. Thank you. Best Regards Botao Sun

Bug Fix for ARMv8 bootup in Foundation_v8pkg

by Sagar Kadam

Hello, We are using ARM foundation models for evaluation of ARMv8 architecture. We are able to boot the prebuilt images as provided and directed by Linaro on the following link. http://www.linaro.org/engineering/armv8/#tab1 But if we try to recompile the kernel as directed on following link (https://wiki.linaro.org/HowTo/BuildArm64Kernel) we observed that Foundation model is not able to boot the kernel completely. The following is the error message "Starting Boolog daemon: bootlogd: cannot find console device 204:64 under /dev" I screened throughout the linaro site as well as on Google but didn't get any fix suitable for it. I have fixed this bug and would like to submit the patch to linaro upstream branch. Could you please review the patch and let me know how I can upload it to Linaro so that other developers can also use it. PFA the patch for the same. Thanks & BR, Sagar Kadam

[RFC PATCH] ARM: ftrace: Ensure code modifications are synchronised across all cpus

by Jon Medhurst (Tixy)

When the generic ftrace implementation modifies code for trace-points it uses stop_machine() to call ftrace_modify_all_code() on one CPU. This ultimately calls the ARM specific function ftrace_modify_code() which updates the instruction and then does flush_icache_range(). As this cache flushing only operates on the local CPU then other cores may end up execute the old instruction if it's still in their icaches. This may or may not cause problems for the use of ftrace on kernels compiled for ARM instructions. However, Thumb2 instructions can straddle two cache lines so its possible for half the old instruction to be in the cache and half the new one, leading the the CPU executing garbage. This patch fixes this situation by providing and arch specific implementation of arch_ftrace_update_code() which ensures that after one core has modified all the code, the other cores invalidate their icaches before continuing.
