Hi all, Git Location: http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=arm/big.LITTLE/mp.git;a=summary Branch: big-LITTLE-MP-v1
We're announcing a kernel tree to track the various topics of the big.LITTLE MP project. The aim of this tree is to help consolidate the various topic patchsets that improve the behaviour of Linux on asymmetric cores (e.g. big.LITTLE) and make smarter scheduling decisions possible in order to save power. I'd like to think of it as a linux-next tree focused on asymmetric support enablement. Viresh will recreate this tree when new versions of the topic patchsets are available. IOW, as the patches are reviewed on the lists and go through iterations, we'll pull each topic patchset into a topic branch (e.g. per-task-load-average-v2, arm-asymmetric-support-v3). Then a merge tree will be created (e.g. big-LITTLE-MP-v1) as needed based on the latest versions of these topics. This should allow users to track individual topics or leave out some topics if they so desire. More topics will be added to this tree as the work becomes available. Linaro platform team will take the merge branch (big-LITTLE-MP-v1, -v2, etc.) and use it for platform enablement work and testing on real hardware and models. Problems should be reported on LKML/LAKML as usual if they are related to the individual topic trees. If they're related to a bad merge or config enablement please report on linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org. Regards, Amit p.s. People who've shown an interest in this tree have been bcc'ed so they don't miss the announcement. They are requested to join either linaro-dev or linaro-sched-sig for future announcements. _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
