Hi there,
Power management WG is invistigating on a tool named PowerTOP, which can spit out real time data on various aspects of a running system, in terms of power related information. However, occasionally some PowerTOP features need kernel patch. We'd like users to be able to use these latest features without having to wait up to 3 months for Linus to make a release with the kernel portion -- as the original patch developer(s) said. There are totally 3 patches which I had already enclosed them in the attachment. Except vfs.patch, the rest two are original and can be applied on linaro kernel without any changes. vfs.patch is changed a little from original one to adapt current linaro kernel. Hope John would give it a thought to merge these patch in Linaro kernel.

Yong,
Could you check if any of these patches have made it to 2.6.36-rc1?
If so, you can just list the sha-ids of those patches so that they can be cherry-picked. It is better to apply "backport" patches than tracking random ones.
Also, perhaps John can get the Ubuntu kernel team to apply them so that we get them on the next rebase.
Cheers, Amit

I would be interested in them too!
If I'm not mistaken, John is getting my kernel and adding the necessary packaging to it. So those patches would probably make more sense being carried into the base Linaro repository that John is using.

only one patch, linux-2.6.35-rc4-annotate-device-pm.patch is involved in 2.6.36, at 8d4b9d1bfef117862a2889dec4dac227068544c9. So we may still need the rest two.

Hi John/Yong,
Could you work with the Ubuntu kernel team to get these patches merged into their tree?

Those patches don't apply as is, and I prefer not venturing into merge conflict attempts.
What I'd suggest is:
1) get the stable linaro tree from git://git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-2.6.35.git
2) cherry-pick the upstream patch with 'git cherry-pick -x 8d4b9d1bf'
3) fix the conflicts, then commit
4) apply and commit the other patches on top
5) test _this_ resulting tree
6) put the result somewhere for me to pull.

Hi Nicolas,
As we talked on IRC, I created a bundle file which contains three commits for powertop kernel patch. Please review.
Thanks Yong
