Cool. In the absence of a official Android 3.1 common tree, I sat down today and actually did the same with the TI omapzoom p-common tree (just adding the linaro+android defconfigs and base origen support).
Is there any reason not to base off my version of it? There's no guarantee TI's tree will go on for any longer than they have a use for it whereas I am planning to do this for a whole cycle.
No specific reason not to, just that from reading your announcement from last week, I thought the p-android-3.1 branch was just the rebased android common tree, and it wasn't clear if the tilt tree had other things in it or not.
What Jassi did was take the TI tree and compare it against the common-3.0 we last had. He found some missing patches about gadget IIRC and brought them over additionally.
linaro-androidization-tracking doesn't have anything else on it at all except vanilla + stuff from TI and common-3.0 filling in the gaps.
There were a few usb related mis-merges in that tree that wouldn't compile, so I fixed up. I'm guessing you've already hit and fixed them as well, but if not, you can just grab it, its here:
I think what I'll do is study the diff between the two trees with an aim to reducing that to nothing hopefully by moving things around slightly on my side.
It won't help anyone to have different versions of "common-3.1" floating about, especially if you think about after 3.1 release your new one will branch off and become release-based and mine will continue into the mysteries of -rc0, if we get Android bugs coming on one but not the other it won't help if there's some lingering question about how they may have differed to start with.
While we're talking, I noticed cpufreq topic on the re-ordered tree looks like it's a selfcontained little history for a new governor called 'interactive'. Do you know anything about the history of efforts to get this upstream?
So its never been submitted that I'm aware of. I've chatted with some non-android google folks who do more upstream cpufreq work, and they weren't really aware of it.
It was on my list for the trivial-tree earlier, but I never got to it (I still need to get the smaller cgroup patches sent out). If you think its
It sounds like I should have put cgroup on its own topic as well.
more interesting, I can bump its priority and try to get it out for discussion. I have neglected the trivial tree work this cycle, so it would probably be good to get another item or two our for discussion.
Amit wrote more about cpufreq so I replied there.
Thinking about what's in the topics it seems there are quite a few opportunities for patch folding / consolidation / optimization, ignoring upstreaming. A few times in one topic a patch is introduced and then reverted, or the patch is introduced and a little later there is a cleanup patch. It should be at least arguable to fold these, trying to keep track of who did what in the commit log. (Good example is ion topic, there are 12 "history" patches that could be folded into the first one).
It complicates the question if this tree 'has' xyz patch, but it simplifies the patchset. I think 467 patches was enough for this it might be good if it shrank considerably rather than keep on acquiring its own history.
