Eric, did you find out any more details on the SMP pen mechanism since I last asked you about it?
Oh, I thought we were settled on this back in May -- the CPUs are spinning in the low 8kb. They are in that state by the time the firmware has handed off to us. I think it's modifying a /memreserve/ node for you to know where the pen is.
Ah OK. I'll have to look into U-Boot and see if something is accidentally using page 0 for something, or perhaps the kernel is just using that as the first free page...
Hey, do you know what's going on with merging code? I feel really stuck here -- I've got a graphics driver, and a Pi2 implementation, and Andrea has cpufreq, and we're still stuck on getting the firmware driver merged.
Sorry, no. Lee would merge any SoC core patches (i.e. arch/arm/mach-bcm2835), and relevant maintainers own the graphics and cpufreq drivers.
