Hi,

Hello Gilles,


I have "successfully" patched a 3.0.35 kernel from Freescale with
adeos-ipipe-3.0.36-1.18.11

I have -not- applied the adeos-ipipe-3.0.36-arm-1.18-11-pre.patch
that showed too much "revert patch detected" errors.



The patch should apply cleanly, the question, if you get too many
rejections, it is because you do not apply it to the proper branch.


Of course it was not.
I started with a kernel provided by the module manufacturer. I estimate
that this kernel is "almost" a rel_imx_3.0.35_12.09.02, I mean, that
I have not found a closer tag than this one.

My first idea was to attempt to apply the patches to that kernel
directly. I was not expecting it would have been simple, and it was
actually not. But after a few hours I came to the initial result I said.




BTW, I have understand that its purpose was mainly to upgrade to 3.0.36,
but what is actually the role of the
adeos-ipipe-3.0.36-arm-1.18-11-post.patch ? (I applied it).


I have explained this in a previous mail.

Ok, I will seek in the history. I would be nice if the explanation
was in the README.



I had to deal with some rejections but at least the kernel is booting
and my application running.

But the target is very slow, and /proc/xenomai/irq shows that the
[timer] irq only comes about every 1 second.

The /proc/interrupts shows an IRQ every 10ms, which was expected
since I have CONFIG_HZ=100

I am pretty sure that I messed up something in the patch process,
however I do not know where to start to look for.


Apply the patches to the proper imx release, and everything should be fine.


That is what I did, at last.
To do so, I have extracted the BSP from the given 'almost'
rel_imx_3.0.35_12.09.02 kernel,
taken the rel_imx_3.0.15_12.03.00, applied the patches,
and brought back the BSP to the patched kernel.


The issues I mentionned are not also present with CONFIG_IPIPE=no,
so it is just that the 3.0.15 kernel does not have everything for my board.


I would do what you want to do with git. Checkout the ipipe-3.0-imx6q
branch from the ipipe-gch.git, then merge it with the vendor branch you
want to use.


Sure it would work and would be fine with git.
But unfortunalely I do not have access to the repository of the vendor,
but only to a bz2 snapshot of their kernel.

I wonder if the right method would be to use git to merge Ipipe to the
3.0.35_12_09.02, and then bring back the BSP that I have isolated as a patch

Yes, if the vendor BSP is based on 3.0.35_12_09.02, you should make a
diff with that, and try and merge it with the ipipe-3.0-imx6q branch.



Done. And success. Thanks. I am running your 3.0.43 kernel with my BSP.
no more network or reboot slowness issues.

However, htop it saying that CPU0 is at 20% and CPU3 at 12%,
no application is running. The only thing that I see running is the
timer interrupt.

Also, I still have
87:         13          0          0          0       GIC  i.MX Timer Tick

.. the counter increases very slowly, about 1 every 10 minutes maybe.

That does not happen with CONFIG_IPIPE=no

Do you have CONFIG_LOCALTIMER (and CONFIG_SMP) enabled?



CONFIG_SMP yes,
You mean CONFIG_LOCAL_TIMERS ? Yes


Could you post the disassembly of the mxc_timer_interrupt function?


Hope this helps:
