Building the omap kernel for Thumb-2

Hi there,

Talking with Loic just now, we thought it could be worth turning on Thumb-2 in the main omap kernel package after all, since we've at least seen it work on a few different boards now. It feels ready for wider testing.

Is it possible for you to move to a newer snapshot of the 2.6.38 linaro tree, or will that be problematic at this stage?

Since the imx51 kernel at least seems to build and boot in Thumb, it could be worth enabling a separate build in a PPA, but it's may not mature enough for everyone to use as the main kernel just yet. If you want to try this, you need CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND=y, CONFIG_LATENCYTOP=n and CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y

Cheers ---Dave
