Hello everybody, There have been few discussion on how big LITTLE MP tree should be managed as it is getting PULL requests from a wide range of patches working towards making our system more power efficient.
The following scheme is finalized and is detailed here: https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/PowerManagement/Process/bigLittleMPTree Purpose of this tree is to keep all ongoing efforts, which affect power management on big LITTLE systems, together at a single place. All of these must be targeted to get included in Mainline by their original authors. There are two categories of branches/patches that are kept here. One that are guaranteed to work on current big LITTLE system (Tested on ARM Vexpress TC2) and others which are experimental. Branches can be moved from experimental to master, once we are convinced they don't break any existing stuff in master branch. So, following is the category of Merge branches we have: big-LITTLE-MP-master-v*: Guaranteed to work on current big LITTLE system, ARM Vexpress TC2. This will be pulled in linux-linaro-tracking git tree. big-LITTLE-MP-experimental-v*: Experimental topic branches For now I have created to merge branches: - big-LITTLE-MP-master-v12: git merge arm-multi_pmu_v2 hw-bkp-v7.1-debug-v1 per-task-load-average-v3-merged task-placement-v2 task-migration-sysfs-tuning misc-patches config-fragments - big-LITTLE-MP-exp-v12: git merge intel-powerclamp-driver-v1 per-entity-load-tracking-with-core-sched-v1 sched-pack-small-tasks-v1 sched-timer-wq-migration-v2-resend - power-aware-scheduling-v1: This is another branch which is present in this tree, which can be used. It was rebased on tip/master and hence isn't merged. PULL request to Andrey would be sent only for the Master branch. I would be releasing Experimental branch too every time with Master branch though. Please share your comments? -- viresh _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
