Hi -
ARM have released a new version of Developer Studio 5 (DS-5) and we now have a new version of the Gator component [1] to go with this which needs updating in all Linaro kernel trees that will be part of the 12.05 release.
For those people maintaining kernel trees here is what this means...
- If your kernels are including the linux-linaro-core-tracking [2]
branch then you will get the new Gator version from this when it is updated over the next couple of days. You don't need to do anything except to make sure you are up to date with this branch before the 12.05 release.
I suspect we'll be issuing tilt-3.3 again, so even though we're on llct for tracking we'll have to revert and update.
For those people who have applied Mali driver patches to support profiling by Gator: you don't need to modify those Mali patches, just take the new version of Gator, this will still work OK.
Just curious... how many LTs have Mali stuff? If it's more than one, we should perhaps be talking about moving it to linux-linaro-core-tracking. Presumably that then needs coordination about matching userlands in multiple LTs which will need some time. Even if Mali is in good sync today between multiple LTs the architecture of each LT having their own copy of what's meant to be permanently in sync invites problems.
