== [ACTIVITY] [dave-martin-arm] Activity report for week 6 2011 (2011-02-07 - 2011-02-11) ==

=== Activity === ==== hardware-n-kernel-standard-architecture ==== * Upstream link-time discard versus SMP_ON_UP problem still not fixed. More discussion with Russell: expect this to converge on some kind of solution within the next week or 2. In the meantime, I may suggest temporary merging of my workaround patch in linaro. * omap3/4 Thumb-2 compatiblity patches re-posted. Did some power management testing to exercise the code: power off suspend _may_ work on Beagle xM, but this board is hit by an erratum which makes it hard to test.

Weirdly, this problem only strikes when the kernel is built in Thumb-2, but I can find no actual bug so far.

Tony Lindgren has picked up my tree and my try to test this this.

==== performance-linaro-n-memory-footprint ==== * Methodology proposal now agreed with Steve Langasek, with a couple of minor modifications: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/Specs/MemoryFootprintMethodolog...

==== miscellaneous ==== * Spent some time helping debug boot partition layout generated by linaro-media-create on OMAP. ==== Plans ==== * Tidy up the proposal for link-time section discard avoidance and report.

* Discuss prioritisation for outstanding kernel tasks.

* Write up the output from the Freescale i.MX BSP review discussion, and post for comment.

==== Absences ==== None planned.
