Hi all, Next Wednesday, 19th June, we intend to take IKSHackbox out of circulation and turn it into a LAVA TC2. We will be backing up the existing configuration, just in case we need to deploy a new one or revert the existing one. We'll also be removing the ssh access (for obvious reasons). If anybody has any problems or issues with this decision, please contact me to discuss. Many thanks Dave

[PATCH 0/8] ARM: use cpu_do_idle for entering wfi mode

by Sanjay Singh Rawat

With this patch set we make use of cpu_do_idle to enter WFI mode, many platform are not clearing the data buffer before WFI or directly using the address instead of opcode. For the rest its good to have a common approach.

[PATCH] cpuidle: arm_big_little: pass target residency to mcpm

by Sebastian Capella

also cc linaro kernel Hi, This patch will forward target residency information from the arm_big_little driver to mcpm. If multiple powerdown states are used, the vendor specific code will need a way to distinguish the intended c-state information. I do not have TC2 hardware to verify this. Would someone be able to help verify this change on TC2? Thanks!

big.LITTLE MP status June 4, 2013

By default MP is used (IKS is off). To enable IKS: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/bL_switcher/active 2. big.LITTLE MP There are two branches, which are functionally equivalent - they tweak the scheduler to select the right processes to move to the A15 and try to decrease power consumption while maintaining performance. * A Reference (stable) big.LITTLE MP patchset (merged with linux-linaro): https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=arm/big.LITTLE/mp.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/hea… Recommended to be used for testing. * And an upstream (work in progress) big.LITTLE MP patchset: https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=arm/big.LITTLE/mp.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/hea… Being worked on in order to achieve the performance/power numbers of the reference one. Upstream discussion is ongoing. * Documentation: Code flow is already covered by several LWN articles. See https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/PowerManagement/Doc/ in the Articles section. We will provide a tuning guide once we have reached agreement upstream. * Automated benchmarking code is ready: - A python script to download LAVA bundle and extract results and populate results on to given Google spreadsheet is complete and is in use. Some workarounds are needed for automatic pushing of results to spreadheet.

[ANN] snapshots/releases.linaro.org switched to Linaro SSO for auth

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, Following up with the migration of all Linaro services to Linaro Cloud infrastructure, ITS and LAVA teams proceed with migrating all services to consistently use Linaro Login (Single Sign-On) for authentication. Linaro download servers, http://snapshots.linaro.org & http://releases.linaro.org were migrated today. If you have access to restricted areas on those servers, please find a minute to check that everything works for you as expected. If you face any issues, please send a report to its(a)linaro.org . http://android-build.linaro.org and http://validation.linaro.org are expected to be next in line for Linaro SSO migration, in this month's timeframe. -- Best Regards, Paul Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog

OpenEmbedded projects tracked on patches.linaro.org

by Nicolas Dechesne

hi there, as our contributions to OE might grow in the future we have decided to start tracking OE patches on http://patches.linaro.org/, like other upstream projects are being tracked. For now, we will be tracking oe-core and meta-oe trees only, as this is probably where most of us would contribute. If you think we need to track more OE trees, please say it! Can you please make sure that you cc patches(a)linaro.org for any contribution you make to OE, otherwise it won't get tracked! You can find OE project stats here: http://patches.linaro.org/project/oe-core/ http://patches.linaro.org/project/oe-meta-layer/ cheers nico
