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:
Vikram,
Thanks for volunteering to do this. I asume you're already aware of Viresh's integration tree[1]?
==================
- 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)
==================
That list seems to be ok for now, but we'll be adding more stuff to this soon. Please keep in touch with Viresh if you want to keep on top of this.
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!
I started a skeleton wiki page[2] to keep track of the various patchsets, a short description of the features they enable, etc. It would be nice if you could contribute to this directly. Feel free to edit it.
May I ask what you interest in b.L MP is?
Regards, Amit
