[PATCH] dt: add helper function to read u8 & u16 variables & arrays

by Viresh Kumar

This adds following helper routines: - of_property_read_u8_array() - of_property_read_u16_array() - of_property_read_u8() - of_property_read_u16() This expects arrays from DT to be passed as: - u8 array: property = /bits/ 8 <0x50 0x60 0x70>; - u16 array: property = /bits/ 16 <0x5000 0x6000 0x7000>; Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar(a)linaro.org> --- V2->V3: - Expect u8 & u16 arrays to be passed using: /bits/ 8 or 16 - remove common macro, as not much common now :( - Tested on ARM platform. drivers/of/base.c | 77 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/of.h | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 107 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/of/base.c b/drivers/of/base.c index af3b22a..f564e31 100644 --- a/drivers/of/base.c +++ b/drivers/of/base.c @@ -671,12 +671,89 @@ struct device_node *of_find_node_by_phandle(phandle handle) EXPORT_SYMBOL(of_find_node_by_phandle); /** + * of_property_read_u8_array - Find and read an array of u8 from a property. + * + * @np: device node from which the property value is to be read. + * @propname: name of the property to be searched. + * @out_value: pointer to return value, modified only if return value is 0. + * @sz: number of array elements to read + * + * Search for a property in a device node and read 8-bit value(s) from + * it.

[RFC 0/6] sched: packing small tasks

by Vincent Guittot

Hi, This patch-set takes advantage of the new statistics that are going to be available in the kernel thanks to the per-entity load-tracking: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1348522. It packs the small tasks in as few as possible CPU/Cluster/Core. The main goal of packing small tasks is to reduce the power consumption by minimizing the number of power domain that are used. The packing is done in 2 steps: The 1st step looks for the best place to pack tasks on a system according to its topology and it defines a pack buddy CPU for each CPU if there is one available. The policy for setting a pack buddy CPU is that we pack at all levels where the power line is not shared by groups of CPUs. For describing this capability, a new flag has been introduced SD_SHARE_POWERLINE that is used to describe where CPUs of a scheduling domain are sharing their power rails. This flag has been set in all sched_domain in order to keep unchanged the default behaviour of the scheduler. In a 2nd step, the scheduler checks the load level of the task which wakes up and the business of the buddy CPU. Then, It can decide to migrate the task on the buddy. The patch-set has been tested on ARM platforms: quad CA-9 SMP and TC2 HMP (dual CA-15 and 3xCA-7 cluster). For ARM platform, the results have demonstrated that it's worth packing small tasks at all topology levels. The performance tests have been done on both platforms with sysbench. The results don't show any performance regressions. These results are aligned with the policy which uses the normal behavior with heavy use cases. test: sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=N --max-requests=R run Results below is the average duration of 3 tests on the quad CA-9. default is the current scheduler behavior (pack buddy CPU is -1) pack is the scheduler with the pack mecanism | default | pack | ----------------------------------- N=8; R=200 | 3.1999 | 3.1921 | N=8; R=2000 | 31.4939 | 31.4844 | N=12; R=200 | 3.2043 | 3.2084 | N=12; R=2000 | 31.4897 | 31.4831 | N=16; R=200 | 3.1774 | 3.1824 | N=16; R=2000 | 31.4899 | 31.4897 | ----------------------------------- The power consumption tests have been done only on TC2 platform which has got accessible power lines and I have used cyclictest to simulate small tasks.

[PATCH Resend V2] dt: add helper function to read u8 & u16 variables & arrays

by Viresh Kumar

This adds following helper routines: - of_property_read_u8_array() - of_property_read_u16_array() - of_property_read_u8() - of_property_read_u16() First two actually share most of the code with of_property_read_u32_array(), so the common part is taken out into a macro, which can be used by all three *_array() routines.

[PATCH 0/4] Implement device tree support for ab8500 BM Devices

by Rajanikanth H.V

From: "Rajanikanth H.V" <rajanikanth.hv(a)stericsson.com> This patch-set adds device tree binding for ab8500 battery-managed devices. Removes the redundant platform structure maintained across bm devices and implements common DT probe routine across all the modules. Test status: a) Tested across 'legacy platform data' and DT binding support a.1) ab8500_charger driver fails to get regulator in the legacy platform mode. b) Interrupt numbers assigned differs between legacy and FDT mode.

Fwd: trouble using wifi on Linaro Ubuntu for Pandaboard

by Fathi Boudra

Wrong mailing list, forwarding lo linaro-dev ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alex Stefanescu <stefanescu(a)rice.edu> Date: 18 November 2012 02:09 Subject: trouble using wifi on Linaro Ubuntu for Pandaboard Hello, I'm having trouble connecting to wifi on the Linaro Ubuntu releases for the Pandaboard. I've tried with both 12.10 and 12.09 releases, which are listed to have passed the wifi test. I don't have a screen attached to the Pandaboard and I'm using minicom over serial cable. Basically after boot I see: > root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:/boot# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:on eth0 no wireless extensions. > root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:/boot# iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 Scan completed : [...] Cell 02 - Address: 08:D0:9F:BF:27:51 Channel:6 Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6) Quality=44/70 Signal level=-66 dBm Encryption key:off ESSID:"Rice Visitor" Bit Rates:5.5 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s Bit Rates:48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf=000002008b96ed23 Extra: Last beacon: 85ms ago [...] > root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:/boot# iwconfig wlan0 essid "Rice Visitor" [...] [ 228.734680] wlan0: associate with 08:d0:9f:bf:27:51 (try 1/3) [ 228.746246] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 08:d0:9f:bf:27:51 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=4) [ 228.805328] wl12xx: Association completed.

I'm using Pandaboard with OMAP4430 and wl1271 wlan chipset. I've also tried running wpa_supplicant manually to connect to both the same open network, or another one secured with WPA2 (I used the wpa_supplicant.conf from an Android phone so I'm pretty sure it was correct) and I have the same issue. There is also a wpa_supplicant always running in the background, does it matter? > root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:/boot# ps -ef | grep wpa root 2083 1 0 Nov15 ? 00:01:16 /sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -P /run/sendsigs.omit.d/wpasupplicant.pid -u -s -O /var/run/wpa_supplicant Thank you!

Cross compiling perf for ARM

by Rizwana Begum

Hello All, I am trying to cross-compile perf tool for ARM on x86 machine. I am using linux-2.6.37. My goal is to compile perf binary statically to use in Gem5 simulator. I am using CodeSourcery to cross compile. However, I get below error ==================================================== ***** No libelf.h/libelf found, please install libelf-dev/elfutils-libelf-devel and glibc-dev[el]. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory ==================================================================== I have libelf.h file compiled for ARM, I tried replacing it in /usr/include and also in ../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/include. However, I face the same error. (I am not exactly sure about where the compiler is looking for libelf.h) I came across *http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.kernel.general/11207,* where they say that there are issues related to perf cross-compiling and are not yet solved (by Aug'12). Also *http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/Ubuntu_kernel_build_alternatives#Cross-compilation* states that " do_tools=false option is required with CodeSourcery 2010q1. It will prevent the generation of the tools binary package (including perf) that would fail with CodeSourcery 2010q1 toolchain (to be checked with Linaro or more recent CodeSourcery)." I am using CodeSourcery 2011.03-41. Is anyone successful in cross-compiling perf tool. I also need to cross compile kernel next. So, any information would be of great help. FYI, I will be using the linux kernle with ubuntu disk image in Gem5. Thank you Rizwana * *
