Linaro Takes an Active Role in Virtualization on ARM

Posted on February 8, 2013 by

Linaro held a virtual KVM/QEMU Mini-Summit on the 4th and 6th of February. There were 17 attendees representing five companies all collaborating on the future of Virtualization on ARM.

In an email, to the linaro-dev mailing list, Serge Broslavsky, Project Manager on the Technical Management team at Linaro, noted that the main goal for the mini-summit was to synchronize on the current state of Virtualization and to plan the work which needs to be done in this area.

Day One
On the first day of the mini-summit included a discussion of the current status of the KVM on ARMv7 and ARMv8, IO Virtualization, virtio and IOMMU support code. The current process of maintainer-ship and a prioritized list of any outstanding tasks or development on v7 was reviewed.  The attendees also discussed what role Linaro could play in regards to development and testing.

Day Two
On the second day of the summit attendees reviewed day one activities to see if they missed anything and then turned their attention to QEMU. These attendees looked at what development work was needed for ARMv7 and ARMv8 in regards to QEMU.  Other topics discussed included looking at where kvmtool fits in.

Conclusions
As a result of this mini-summit, Linaro, with the help of its new Virtualization Team will be taking a more active role in the area of Virtualization on ARM. Virtualization will also be addressed at the Linaro Connect Asia (LCA13) event being held 4-8 March in Hong Kong the exact schedule is still being planned.

An Easy Way to Update Android Kernel Related Files Without Getting the sdcard Out

Posted on February 5, 2013 by

Do you feel it’s difficult or complicated to update kernel related files for a running Android device?

Do you feel that it’s boring to get the sdcard out when you just want to update some kernel files when the Android device is somewhere else?

The Linaro Android team now has tools to help you update kernel related files for an Android device through the use of a few commands–mostly only one command.

Do you want to update the kernel related files with a new boot.tar.bz2? You can do so with the following command:

./update-android.sh out/target/product/pandaboard/boot.tar.bz2

Do you want to update only the board.dtb file? No problem, you can do:

./update-android.sh out/target/product/pandaboard/boot/board.dtb

Do you just want to update the loglevel in /init.rc to 8?  Use the following command:

./update-uInitrd.sh /tmp/init.rc

What do you think about the tools? Do you want to give these commands a try? If so, you can get these scripts by using the following command:

git clone http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/platform/external/linaro-android-tools.git

More information on these tools can be found at:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/KernelUpdateTools

About the Linaro Android Team

The primary goals of the Linaro Android Team is to develop and release tested monthly builds of Android for Galaxy Nexus, Panda, Snowball, Origen, and Versatile Express, collaborate with upstream development efforts and perform monthly toolchain benchmarking.

More information about the Linaro Android Team can be found at: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android

About the Linaro Kernel Team

The Kernel Consolidation Working Group targets the Linux kernel. Its goals are to consolidate source repositories, unify support across SoCs, develop new kernel infrastructure and features and more. Our acid test: shipping a single source tree that integrates support for multiple modern ARM SoCs.

Linaro and Distributions

Posted on February 4, 2013 by

From the by start of Linaro there has been much confusion about Linaro and distributions. Part of this, I’m sure is because Linaro is different from most open source entities which, by and large, are either industry consortiums or distributions or a mixture of the two.  So what is the relationship between Linaro and ARM Linux based distributions?

Linaro is an engineering organisation, it’s work split between working groups containing engineers from its member companies.  These groups are working away on such things as power management, kernel consolidation, ARMv8 and so on.  We need to test the code and patches created and, to do that, we need a variety of test software.  These we call ‘engineering builds’, and they are tailored to the engineering work and the testing needed.  As an example, we have engineering builds based on Android that are used to test the big.LITTLE power management changes that we’re making.

Maybe a slightly different way of looking at how Linaro uses distributions is to think about LAVA, our test and validation framework.  Like all frameworks, it is a combination of scripts.  Where we have done engineering in the past is in order to pull distributions into LAVA and the build framework in order that they can be used for testing our engineering.  Most (not all) distributions have build systems that generate a set of packages containing binary images.  The LAVA and build system integration consists of pulling the root file system out of a set of packages and modifying it to take a different kernel, low level libraries and so on.  An example of this is the work that Linaro did in order to allow different boot configurations to work with Ubuntu.  What we haven’t done is to directly work on distributions, that’s up to the owners of the distributions.

Open embedded is an exception to the ‘built binaries’ rule and, in this case, we build the images ourselves. This makes sense as we mostly use open embedded to test our toolchain work.  However, we are also using it to test the early ARMv8 work, building a test LAMP stack with it.

Distributions mostly (there’s that word again) do not pull code directly from Linaro.  Instead, they take the results of our upstream work and pull that into their distribution, managing appropriate patches and version control along the way.  The exception is that Linaro’s GNU tools are pulled directly into Ubuntu, at least for the 32 bit world.  This emphasises our need to test our changes well before the distribution does this as, by then, it will be much harder to fix any problems found.

There’s a really important distinction to be made between Linaro’s testing and validation and the certification testing used by distributions.  Linaro is primarily focussed on testing the work that we have been doing.  An example of this is testing that big.LITTLE MP performs as well as it should, with no regressions.  Distributions are testing that a release of theirs runs on particular hardware combinations.  Just because we are sure that Linaro’s engineering has been tested, you cannot infer that a distribution could be certified for Linaro’s test hardware.  The best that I would say is that particular software is ready to be integrated into a distribution release.

Further confusion, if any were needed, comes when we talk about releases and ‘member builds’.  Member builds are builds of software that Linaro makes on behalf of its core and club members.  It consists of some set of Linaro and member software bundled with a distribution.  It is specified by the members to suit their business and engineering needs.  As an example, ARM uses member builds to support its test platforms, model, FPGA and test chip.  Other members use them to support their low cost boards program or internal development teams.  Releases are snapshots of code (mostly patches), engineering and member builds, released monthly.  These act as an integration point and help us test the results of our work as it progresses.

There, I hope that is much clearer, although I expect to continue to be asked about Linaro and distributions.  At least I can point them to this blog entry.

Linaro 13.01 released

Posted on February 1, 2013 by

All things are created twice; first mentally; then physically. The key to creativity is to begin with the end in mind, with a vision and a blue print of the desired result.

~Stephen Covey

We are pleased to announce the release of Linaro 13.01.

With the first release of the calendar year, Linaro is happy to highlight the ingredients that make up the deliverables, again produced by Linaro Teams Working Groups, Enterprise Group, Landing Teams and Platform Teams . Linaro anticipates another great year of Linux on ARM development celebrating new members and producing some cutting edge advances.

The Developer Platform Team has enabled 64bit HipHop VM development in OpenEmbedded, continued to merge ARMv8 support into the OpenEmbedded platform and upstream, engaged initial support for the Arndale board and released Linux Linaro 3.8-rc4 2013.01.

For the Android team, it was a busy cycle. The initial changes to android-build page for the new build program have been done. They are finally moving towards consolidation of manifests: Origen and Versatile Express can now be synced and built from the same manifest. The Team is happy to announce linaro-android-tools which is directed towards kernel developers. The tool can be used to update kernel and initrd in Android without having to remove the SDcard. They have also updated the third party benchmarks to use the uiatomator testing framework introduced in Jelly Bean. Android hardware pack support has been added.

The Linaro Enterprise Group (LEG) has released Linaro UEFI 2013.01. The highlights include fixes for native building of UEFI on ARM platforms and improvements to flashing images on Arndale board and enable native building for PandaBoard.

The Power Management Group hosted a big.LITTLE sprint in Cambridge led by Amit Kucheria. A meeting of minds between ARM, Linaro and the community succeeded in achieving enhanced focus and a more defined roadmap for the big.LITTLE story. Topics included clearly defined benchmarking to determine the effectiveness of the platform, enhanced verification to augment the traditional kernel power/performance testing, and a well defined roadmap for big.LITTLE on Android. In related big.LITTLE MP development, version 14 of the big.LITTLE MP tree has been released [http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-dev/2013-January/015037.html].

On the social front Linaro is looking forward to Linaro Connect Asia 2013 in Hong Kong. Once again a Demo Friday event will showcase the latest Linux developments on ARM. Linaro members, partners and community will offer interactive demonstrations which showcase the combination of ARM based processor boards and Linaro builds of Android, Ubuntu and more.

We encourage everybody to use the 13.01 release. The download links for all images and components are available on our downloads page:

Linaro big.LITTLE Mini-Summit Summary

Posted on January 7, 2013 by

The Linaro big.LITTLE Mini-Summit that was held on Thursday, 1 November, 2012 as part of Linaro Connect Europe (LCE) 2012 at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark.

big.LITTLE Mini-Summit information

The big.LITTLE mini-summit followed the same format as both the Android and ARMv8(64-bit) mini-summits with opening plenary and a lightning talk followed by four planning and discussion sessions.

Those four sessions included topics focused on the following:

  • A big.LITTLE status update and Making Linux work with asymmetric systems
  • The Bluesky session: What would the ideal power-aware kernel do?
  • Back to reality: What do we have today and the sequence of steps to get to where we want to be
  • Workloads and Test Automation and General Discussions on further work and Wrap-Up

ARMs Test Chip 2(TC#2): An Overview Slide Used during Mini-Summit

During the two plenary sessions, Amit Kucheria (PMWG Tech Lead at Linaro) and Robin Randhawa (Power Management Architect at ARM) highlighted some of the interesting experimental results coming out of the research being done around power management and big.LITTLE inside Linaro and ARM.

They touched upon the two big.LITTLE (b.L) modes – IKS and MP, current implementation status, performance and power numbers being observed with ARM’s TC2 boards and further work required.

The key take-away message from these talks was that initial power and performance numbers on the ARM TC2 hardware (2 A15 + 3 A7) prove the efficacy of the b.L hardware concept and establish a baseline to improve upon. For example, a web-browsing + mp3 usecase in b.L IKS mode ran at 90% of the performance while consuming only 60% of the power compared to the same use case running purely on an A15 system. The b.L MP case was showed similar numbers in measurements inside Linaro (ARM’s results were missing some A15 quiescing patches at the time of the summit, thus yielding much higher power numbers. This has been fixed since then).

The highly technical sessions were dedicated to finding solutions to known problems in Linux that will allow it to work more efficiently on b.L hardware. These problems included:

  1. IKS optimisations
    1. To minimise interrupt blackout
    2. To profile and optimise the cpufreq driver
  2. Speeding up Hotplug
  3. CPU quiescence
    1. RCU callbacks on A15s are expensive
    2. Adaptive NOHZ patchset
  4. Scheduler optimisations
    1. Scheduler-driven optimal C-state and P-state selection
    2. Scale invariance of load
    3. Ways to differentiate processes to
      1. Improve response times e.g. application launch
      2. Constrain a process to LITTLE cores
    4. Consolidate load calculation heuristics required by various governors into the scheduler
  5. Automation of power/performance testing on real hardware

While the b.L IKS solution is members-only at this point, the b.L MP development can be tracked through a public git tree and through announcements on the linaro-dev mailing list.

For more information about each of these sessions and how you can get involved, see the links below for the full session notes. Where available, links to slides (pdf) and videos of the sessions are listed.

  • big.LITTLE Mini-Summit Overview – Slides (Plenary 1 and 2 are also included in this slide deck) Video (includes Plenary 1 and 2)
  • big.LITTLE Mini-Summit  Session 1 (A big.LITTLE status update and Making Linux work with asymmetric systems)  -  Video, Notes
  • big.LITTLE Mini-Summit Session 2 (The Bluesky session: What would the ideal power-aware kernel do?)  - Slides, Video, Notes
  • big.LITTLE Mini-Summit Session 3 (Back to reality: What do we have today and the sequence of steps to get to where we want to be) – Video, Notes
  • big.LITTLE Mini-Summit Session 4 (Workloads and Test Automation and General Discussions on further work and Wrap-Up) – Video, Notes

What is big.Little Processing?

According to ARM’s big.LITTLE webpage it is described as, “big.LITTLE processing addresses one of today’s industry challenges: how to create a System on Chip (SoC) that provides both high performance as well as extreme power efficiency to extend battery life. big.LITTLE connects the performance of the ARM Cortex-A15 or Cortex-A57 processor with the energy efficiency of the Cortex-A7 or Cortex-A53 processors respectively, enabling the same application software to switch seamlessly between them. By selecting the optimum processor for each task, big.LITTLE can extend battery life by up to 70%.”  - From the ARM website on big.LITTLE Processing
