Re: Tejun's modifications for CPU hotplug and workqueues

by Paul E. McKenney

Hello! Tejun just this week posted patches that park the workqueue kthreads, which should reduce CPU-online latency under load. The easiest way to get these patches appears to be to pull them from Tejun's git tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git review-wq-hotplug They pass some extremely mild rcutorture/hotplug testing, and more testing will follow. Please take a look at these and give them a go. Thanx, Paul

Nexus 7/Jellybean Kernel Config

Hey there, I stumbled onto a thread on xdadevelopers where they are looking at the Nexus 7; apart from partition and df output, there's a 3.1.10 kernel config, which I'm attaching here for convenience and analysis. ls -l /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/ lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-06-28 11:51 APP -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-06-28 11:51 CAC -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-06-28 11:51 LNX -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-06-28 11:51 MDA -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-06-28 11:51 MSC -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-06-28 11:51 PER -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-06-28 11:51 SOS -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-06-28 11:51 UDA -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-06-28 11:51 USP -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize /dev 487M 32K 487M 4096 /mnt/asec 487M 0K 487M 4096 /mnt/obb 487M 0K 487M 4096 /system 639M 422M 217M 4096 /cache 436M 7M 428M 4096 /data 5G 4G 1G 4096 /storage/sdcard0 5G 4G 1G 4096 /mnt/asec/com.lexi.android-1 3M 1M 1M 4096 Enjoy, -- Christian Robottom Reis, Engineering VP Brazil (GMT-3) | [+55] 16 9112 6430 | [+1] 612 216 4935 Linaro.org: Open Source Software for ARM SoCs

Error tinyhal on pandaboard

by Asha Anand

Hi, I am studying the tinyhal with linaro android source on pandaboard in order to port tinyhal to our custom board. >> Does the latest pandaboard binaries from https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/panda-ics-gcc47-til… include the tinyhal(Mark XML) modifications? >> Also, I got the source from https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSource and built using steps in https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/BuildSource I followed the steps in attached README file from the tinyhal-linaro-5e2c100. I get the below error build/core/base_rules.mk:166: *** hardware/linaro/tinyhal: MODULE.TARGET.SHARED_LIBRARIES.audio.primary.omap4 already defined by device/linaro/pandaboard/audio. Stop. The tinyhal panda code is present in hardware/linaro/tinyhal and according to README should also be copied to device/linaro/pandaboard? Please let me know. Thanks, Asha

Reviewing big.LITTLE MP documentation

by Vikram Dhillon

Hi all, I am in the process of documenting the major developments that have occurred since last year in big.LITTLE processing and I will post a formal RFC soon, before that I wanted to get some idea of whether I'm going in the right direction. So following some wiki-pages and pull requests, I'm going to document the following: ================== - Paul Turner's load tracking patchset (15) - Thomas Gleixner's per-cpu-thread hotplugging (6) - Vincent Guittot's topology patchset and the ARM topology definition patchset: http://patches.linaro.org/2444/ (~6) - Colin Cross's patchset removing the cpuidle patchset that removes cpu0 power down restriction (4) - Morten Rasmussen's forced HMP task migration patchset (5) ================== Please let me know if I missing out any important patch-sets? These patches come with ample documentation but thus far I haven't seen a single hub to get updates or information regarding them. Thanks for your time! -- Regards, Vikram Dhillon
