libunwind on Android

2011-11-17 Thread Ken Werner
Hi, I'm about to finish my work on libunwind [1] and I'd like to give you a brief overview on the different Android branches. The good news is that - if you don't need to unwind via DWARF debug frame information [2] - there are no additional patches required for Android. You can just pull the

Ftrace on the CA9x4 vexpress

2010-12-09 Thread Ken Werner
Hi, I did some quick ftrace tests using the linaro-vexpress 2.6.35-1010.17 kernel on an ARM-Versatile Express CA9x4 board. It seems to work pretty good. I noticed only one issue with the wakeup latency tracer where /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace doesn't show any real information but the /sys/

kdump on ARM

2010-12-10 Thread Ken Werner
Hi there, Does anyone know if it's possible to use kdump on an ARM board to capture a memory image of the kernel (to be later analyzed with crash for example)? I had a quick look at the kernel config options provided by the linaro-linux tree and it seems that kexec support (CONFIG_KEXEC) is th

Linaro-Natty images on the PandaBoard

2011-01-31 Thread Ken Werner
Hi there, When booting linaro snapshots on my PandaBoard the system hangs a few seconds after the bash prompt is shown (sometimes a little earlier). My first step was to enable magic-sysrq but the system doesn't react on them. It looks like it's already powered off - very strange. I've tried va

Usefulness of GCC's 64bit __sync_* ops on ARM

2011-05-06 Thread Ken Werner
Hi, We've been thinking about adding support for the built-in functions for 64bit atomic memory access and I'd like to know if this is of any interest. Currently the main use of these functions seems to be to implement (SMP safe) locking mechanisms where the existent 32bit memory ops are suffic
