Quote from the link above: "The core MCPM patches are queued for inclusion into the v3.10 mainline kernel. The MCPM backend for TC2 and the IKS patches will tentatively be submitted for v3.11."
Development ============
Big.LITTLE MP is following a two-track development:
1. A Reference (stable) patchset:
https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=arm/big.LITTLE/mp.git%3Ba=shortlog%3Bh=refs/...
2. And an upstream (work in progress) patchset:
https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=arm/big.LITTLE/mp.git%3Ba=shortlog%3Bh=refs/...
Both branches are now merged with linux-linaro branch.
Automated benchmarking code is ready (reviewing), permissions to be added.
- LAVA API is in production now - working on getting it used
