Viresh,

I won't pull the big-LITTLE-MP-master-v12 into the linux-linaro-core-tracking tree today due to the issues found by Tixy.

Tomorrow evening I am going to pull this topic anyway - whether these issues are resolved, or not. If the build error is not fixed by Thursday morning UTC, I'll move llct back to v11. Would it work for the Landing Teams? Tixy?

Thanks,
Andrey

Hi Tixy,

These patches are mine and Olivier's, can you tell me what your config is to 
see even a 90s boot? I haven't noticed any boot-time extension on my system, 
but I'm booting from the A15 cluster. I'd like to reproduce your system here.

The build error is my mistake, I need to know which CPU a task is on and it 
looks like I have missed a dependency when I've changed the calling code. I 
will sort out a patch for that asap.

Best Regards,
Chris

This version increases Android boot time by a factor of 3, from 91
seconds to 257 seconds, this is comparing it with the version of the
master-v12 branch created on Nov 15th. Looking at the differences in
the
code, one obvious thing which stands out is big-LITTLE-MP.conf now has:

CONFIG_HMP_VARIABLE_SCALE=y
CONFIG_HMP_FREQUENCY_INVARIANT_SCALE=y

If I remove this then boot time goes back to 90 seconds.

Also, if I build without big-LITTLE-MP.conf the I get a build error:

kernel/sched/fair.c: In function 'update_entity_load_avg':
kernel/sched/fair.c:1469:26: error: 'struct sched_entity' has no member
named 'cfs_rq'
