= Planning for the next phase of the big.LITTLE MP project has begun with a set of new roadmap cards and blueprints =
Roadmap Cards: ==============
http://cards.linaro.org/browse/CARD-189 (Mobile workload generation suite) http://cards.linaro.org/browse/CARD-190 (Improving HMP Linux scheduling) http://cards.linaro.org/browse/CARD-191 (Improving Idle frameworks in Linux) http://cards.linaro.org/browse/CARD-192 (Simplifying power management on a busy system)

Miscellaneous items ================= Good instructions for running big.LITTLE MP on fastmodels: http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-dev/2012-September/013369.html
* Viresh has created the V8 branch with following changes: - Based on v3.6-rc5 - applied Sudeeps's "sched: fix arch_get_fast_and_slow_cpus to get logical cpumask correctly" patch over task-placement-v1 branch - new branch from Paulm: rcu-hotplug-v1
* new Patchset from Morten by middle of week * new perf framework supporting multiple Performance Monitoring Units work in a patchset * working on the ability to boot from A7
