2013-06-06 Thread Dirk Behme
Hi, on a ARMv7 Freescale i.MX6 based system we are looking at optimizing the kernel boot time. Booting a 3.5.7 kernel with SMP=y and the kernel option 'nosmp' (the i.MX6 has single, dual and quad CPU versions) we get [0.255927] hw perfevents: enabled with ARMv7 Cortex-A9 PMU driver, 7
