Re: [RFC 0/6] ARC: merge HAPS-HS with nSIM-HS configs
Ok but this if off topic and not directly related to patches - or am I missing something. Indeed if we run UP only for nsim we should add pseudo SMP and also a true SMP. For uClibc-ng regression, it doesn't matter what they use and not for us to decide anyways - we just need to tell them (or point to wiki etc) that starting with 5.x kernel,any nsim uart config needs to change of they are using the defconfigs. -Vineet From: Eugeniy Paltsev Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2019 11:18 AM To: Vineet Gupta; Eugeniy Paltsev; linux-snps-arc@lists.infradead.org; Vineet Gupta Cc: Alexey Brodkin; linux-ker...@vger.kernel.org Subject: Re: [RFC 0/6] ARC: merge HAPS-HS with nSIM-HS configs Btw, about nSIM regression runs: We are using UP configuration for all nSIM runs and I propose to use pseudo-SMP configuration (SMP configuration with only one CPU online) instead as our main target are SMP systems.

[RFC 0/6] ARC: merge HAPS-HS with nSIM-HS configs
Starting from nSIM 2019.06 is possible to use DW UART instead of ARC UART. That allows us to merge "nsim_hs" with "haps_hs" and "nsim_hs_smp" with "haps_hs_smp" mith some minor changes. We eliminate nsim_hs_defconfig and nsim_hs_smp_defconfig and leave haps_hs_defconfig and haps_hs_smp_defconfig which can be used on HAPS / nSIM / ZEBU / QEMU platforms without additionall changes in Linux kernel. Eugeniy Paltsev (6): ARC: regenerate nSIM and HAPS defconfigs ARC: HAPS: cleanup defconfigs from unused IO-related options ARC: HAPS: use same UART configuration everywhere ARC: HAPS: add HIGHMEM memory zone to DTS ARC: HAPS: cleanup defconfigs from unused ETH drivers ARC: merge HAPS-HS with nSIM-HS configs arch/arc/boot/dts/haps_hs.dts | 15 +++--- arch/arc/boot/dts/haps_hs_idu.dts | 1 - arch/arc/boot/dts/nsim_hs.dts | 67 -- arch/arc/boot/dts/nsim_hs_idu.dts | 65 - arch/arc/configs/haps_hs_defconfig | 30 +++- arch/arc/configs/haps_hs_smp_defconfig | 32 +++- arch/arc/configs/nsim_hs_defconfig | 60 --- arch/arc/configs/nsim_hs_smp_defconfig | 58 -- arch/arc/plat-sim/platform.c | 1 - 9 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 307 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 arch/arc/boot/dts/nsim_hs.dts delete mode 100644 arch/arc/boot/dts/nsim_hs_idu.dts delete mode 100644 arch/arc/configs/nsim_hs_defconfig delete mode 100644 arch/arc/configs/nsim_hs_smp_defconfig -- 2.21.0 ___ linux-snps-arc mailing list linux-snps-arc@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-snps-arc
