Beta Kernel 19 Dec 10

Posted December 19, 2010 By Ziggy471

This should be the last public beta prior to official posting.

Changelog:
Updated BCM4329 wifi drivers to the latest from glacier
Evo/Inc Updated Atmel drivers to the latest from glacier

Note:
Evo/Inc have had the 3/5 point multi-touch enabled for some time. I have not modified the board files, since there are different versions of the controllers, instead I choose to use ffolks mod of the atmel driver, same as toast and netarchy.

Beta Kernel 14 Dec 10

Posted December 14, 2010 By Ziggy471

Disclaimer: I’m not responsible for any damage you may do to your phone by installing this

WARNING: I’m still considering this a BETA Test, it’s just a public beta. There may still be bugs left in the kernels from all the work I’ve done on them. I think I’ve caught them all, but I’m only human.

If this beta goes good, which it should, then I’ll clean up the code and get it up on github, but until then, please don’t update the XDA threads, this is just a public beta. If all reports are good, then I’ll do fresh builds and do an official release this weekend.

Changelog:
Started again from scratch with the HTC INC MR3 source tree
Added BRAVO/EVO support
Cleaned up majority of the compiler warnings, only a couple left

Most clean ups came from the glacier tree, at least HTC is trying

Moved the source tree as close to mainline as possible
Updated to 2.6.32.27
EVO FPS Patch
EVO 3/5 point multi-touch mod
Kernel LZMA support (smaller kernels)
Automatic process group scheduling
gpu+
BFQ IO Scheduler (default)
Interactive Governor
Smartass Governor (default)

Moved all the settings from the code to Kconfig
Fixed the sysfs interface for Smartass, all files located in: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass
Tweaked the settings extensively

Over-clocked to 1.22GHz, may not work for all, to include me

1.22GHz requires 1400mV, so it’ll kill your battery

Under-volted slightly
128MHz enabled
ck2 patch-set to include updating BFS to 357

BFS and CFS co-exist in the source tree nicely now

sqn’s sysfs interface for VDD Levels
50K sampling for the Conservative Governor, since calkulin wanted it
much more that I can’t remember, DL’s rubbing off on me….lol

BETA Kernel 5 Dec 10

Posted December 5, 2010 By Ziggy471

Sorry I didn’t get these out earlier, daughter’s car had the serpentine belt come off, and it was a PIA to try and get back on, finally gave up, to damn cold out to work on it in a mall parking lot.  Why do car engineers design cars that can’t be worked on easily anymore???

Changelog:
Fixed the smartass governor, it’s now built in, screwed up the Makefile on that one, ooops.
2 Builds for each platform

CFS w/ auto process group scheduling
BFS 357

More code cleanup, removing compiler warnings
etc…

As soon as I’m happy with how things are running, I’ll updated my github, until then, I’m working way too much on the code to constantly updated github, sorry guys, you’ll just have to wait for the source code.  That’s why I’ve asked for the XDA threads not to be updated quite yet.  Thanks for your understanding and patience.

BETA Kernel 4 Dec 10

Posted December 4, 2010 By Ziggy471

EDIT: Figured out why smartass wasn’t included, someone screwed up a Makefile, he’ll remain nameless, but it’s fixed now. lol

Since these are BETA, I’m not sure if everything works, so please report back what doesn’t work.  Also, since they’re beta, the source isn’t going to be released just yet, still WAY too much work left to do, so please don’t update these on XDA yet.

Based off the Incredible MR3 source code release.

Combined source tree, no longer maintaining 3 separate trees.
Some updates from the glacier source release, more to come
CK2
BFS357
BFQ
Interactive (default)
Smartass
OC to 1.19
sqn-‘s CPU Vdd levels sysfs interface (Modified slightly for the combined tree)
gpu+
etc…..

Kernel Status Update (1 December)

Posted December 1, 2010 By Ziggy471

First off, I haven’t stopped working on kernels.  I’ve been working on a brand new source tree.  I started with the HTC Incredible MR3 source, added in support for the Evo and Bravo.  Then started taking the source tree as close to the 2.6.32.17 mainline kernel as possible.  After doing that, I’ve patched it up to 2.6.32.26, and for those of you that do kernel work, THERE WERE NO REJECTS, only about 5 or 6 patches that had offsets.

The benchmarks are amazing, under Incubus’ port of Myn’s 2.2 RLS4, I was scoring 1400-1450 in Quad, 59 in FPS2D, and 29 in NeoCore.  Last night, I flashed IncredibleDoes’ Desire Z port, since the camera is working now, and I’m getting 1550-1600 Quad, 59 FPS2D, and 29 in NeoCore.  Now all of this is WITHOUT ANY TWEAKS, ok there are 2, I patched the Evo FPS tweak, doesn’t effect me, and the SD Card speedup, which is actually from the mainline code, so I’m not really counting that.

Now that I have that nice and stable, I’m starting to implement some of the new improvements from the glacier source tree, I’ve had many failed builds, so I’m slowly implementing those features.  The main ones I’m focusing on are the newer GPU drivers, the ACPU freq/voltage via debugfs.  Also in the newer glacier code, they’ve removed the efuse code from the acpuclock-scorpion.c.

I’m not sure when I’ll be finished with all of this, but I do need some beta testers, the kernel has currently been tested on all three platforms, but since I’ve finally have stable code, and I’m going to be adding more, I need more testers.  Unlike the other kernels I’ve put out, I’m taking this one slow and testing at every step.  As soon as I get all the glacier patches in there, then I’ll start on the other performance patches.
