[KERNEL][ICS][22.02.2012] Team Eos ROM - kernel collaboration & kernel thread

Hi guys,
in the future I will post the current modified kernel-source for the Team Eos ROM for kernel I'm using on my Xoom (and probably also the current compiled )
edit1:
current kernel-source - which I'm using with nightly #49 right now - is here:
Kernel Source:
tiamat-kernel-mod on github
update:
latest branch is at:
ics_tiamat_mod07
Installation:
either compile the kernel via ./xoom.sh and then flash the zip-package in release/Xoom
or
flash the attached compiled kernel in this post (which I'm currently using)
md5sum: ce0fdf52a8b0e28b6028a0e9cbd3f834 release/Xoom/ICS_20120222_Platypus_for_Xoom_r6.zip
Characteristics:
- hardfloat floating point (up to 40% more performance) + VFP-optimized flags
- cgroups timer slack to group together similar tasks to improve (lessen) cpu load [and potentially improve battery runtime]
- ck-patchset (by Con Kolivas): more efficient memory management & preparation for improved swap handling
- mmc/microSD card increased write timeout: fix against data loss when writing to slow cards
- quiet binder: (might not be a problem on this kernel but just in case)
- mmc: core: Claim host while freeing card: fix a BUG_ON while removing the sdcard
- pmem: fix buddy free memory corruption bug
- LOAD_FREQ (4*HZ+61) to avoid loadavg Moire
- more tighter CFS (cpu scheduler) timings: more smoothness and less delay / lags
- conservative governor tweak: to make it a min/max governor
- unlikely-likely cleanups & optimizations: less false branch-prediction
- vmscan: move referenced VM_EXEC pages to active list
- enable advanced congestion control (for network) & set YeAH TCP to be the default
- a few filesystem/inode integrity improvements
- improved memcpy & memmove
- nohz/sched: delay going tickless when CPU is loaded should in total cut down power consumption e.g. while MP3 playback
- FuguMod network security enhancements (thx to nikademus !)
- add nofail variants of kmalloc kcalloc kzalloc for the filesystems
- BFQ i/o scheduler v3-r2 for 2.6.39
- to be built with Linaro 4.5 toolchain
- graphite + other optimization flags [testing & need feedback - battery, performance, stability, etc.]
- kernel compiled with stack-smashing protector support
- UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY disabled (higher latency)
- syncookies enabled
- (access to) DEVMEM & DEVKMEM disabled
- paranoidly initialize SD
- make kernel panic & reboot during hardlock
- debug memory during bootup (once)
- add some crypto algorithms
- add support for unaligned accesses (more performance)
- improved sha1-implementation
- smartass V2 governor (for testing)
- remove the generic_file_aio_read() plug [should improve performance & fix a regression - not sure if it plays that much of a role on the Xoom]
update:
some more stuff got added (among those: tailored CFLAGS to the tegra2 architecture/processor) - will add those here in the list later
Kudos:
Bigrushdog
Coolbho3000
Solarnz
Kcrudup
Cybertronic
Steady Hawkin
TDR
Bazar6
and all the other kernel devs out there
DISCLAIMER: the kernel (binary) and driver modules are provided as is. If problems occcur they most probably are from upstream and can be fixed with the newest version. Since I'm doing this in my free spare time as a hobby (quenching my thirst for tweaks & performance) updates will occur irregularly as time permits and I see fit (most probably when new features & bugfixes arrive). YOU are responsible for the actions that you take (such as over- or underclocking), etc. You agree that I can not be held liable for any potential damage that arises from your actions in combination with or the usage of this kernel and other related parts.
edit0:
a few questions for the start:
- anyone attempted & was crazy enough to test grsecurity stuff on their kernel ?
- until now I only flashed the kernel via fastboot flash:raw and by linking to the initramfs - how to build the gzipped cpio file into the kernel ?
--> adding it to CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="" ?
Looking forward to improving the Xoom experience !
Thanks !

*) nope the whole repo is cloned, not sure if there's on option only to clone ics branch
*) you need an ARM toolchain to compile it (e.g. https://android-build.linaro.org/ , use 4.5 toolchain for this; https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/toolchain-4.5-2011.10/)
*) it naturally should be make stingray_defconfig - but better get the config from the running kernel on your Xoom zcat /proc/config.gz and place it in arm/arm/configs/tingray_defconfig then attempt to build
hope that helps
I'm currently still looking for SLQB and classic rcu or another more light-weight RCU implementation for the 2.6.39 kernel for SMP
there exists Tiny preemptible RCU but this only for UP (uniprocessor) so doesn't apply
any ideas ?

Ok ok I'll talk with Solarnz and see if we can post something soon. There's been ALOT of config80211 coming from upstream. When we publish it'll be a doozie
And ill publish a version for the module fans out there

ok, got some time to test the BFS scheduler which might have or not have improved battery runtime
but definitely might have improved smoothness (e.g. on the galaxy s it does)
unfortunately it doesn't play nice with the android kernel (such as the same problem occured with the kernel 2.6.35-based kernel on the gt-i9000/galaxys s and only really started to work more or less properly after it got ported to 3.0-kernel)
so there must be another way to improve smoothness ...

Thanks man you made my day !!
Now i got kernel compiled but have the same problem like you without insert initramfs file ... did you fixed these problem ?
Does you could check out if we could combine xoom kernel with V4L Stuff ??
Great would be the chance to get also UVC integrated !!

like bighrushdog or solarnz already answered:
the initramfs is preserved while flashing the kernel via cwm
you can however also extract the initramfs and flash it via fastboot (that's what I usually do)
to be honest I'm currently trying to keep the footprint of kernel development as low as possible for me & I'm rather uninterested in that camera stuff right now
sorry
edit:
@all that are interested:
please give the latest kernel a try and tell what you like or don't like about it (e.g. governors, etc.)
when it works well I'll issue an pull-request to get it "upstream" into the tiamat kernel
the current kernel (ICS_20120222_Platypus_for_Xoom_r6.zip) has been tested on Team Eos nightly #70
Thanks !

Flashed! I hope in a no drain battery. Native gov is Ondemand (where's SmartAssv2?) let's test it and wait few days
EDIT : mmmmmhhhh it seems like CPU doesn't sleep. Keep testing

As you know, the modules are the easy part. Implementation is a nightmare and not high on the priority list. However, I've spent the last few days tearing bcmdhd and wpa_supp apart looking for the final piece of the adhoc puzzle. I have alot of info. If you're interested we can open a discussion. Cause its kicking my ass atm
I figured out the adhoc problem but i'm not sure just how to fix it yet. See my post in the EOS rom threads. Also, i merged your mod8 branch with my ics_drivers branch. I'm gonna build and flash. I bet it kicks serious ass!

[Kernel] [PrimoU] 2013/05/21 HELLBOY

Hi
I started a new kernel "project"
Compared to Titanium-KISS this will include also experimental features
and will likely "move away" from HTC kernel sources in the future.
So this kernel is my "playground" but I try to keep it usable
and working all the time but you can expect that some things will
be broken from time to time
The first version is based on latest KISS kernel
So it includes all "well-known" features available there
I am not responsible for anything bad happens to your device
when using this kernel

It is build on latest CM10 ramdisk from "yesterday"
so the warning should go to all who are NOT using your CM10
I will not maintain different JB ramdisk so all users of
JB "based" ROMs like PA and AOKP be aware of this. You can try but I
will not guarantee that it works

will check it on PA GSM. actually, the PA rom should not have a different ramdisk than cm so it should work.

I'll test on AOKP and let u know in a few hours.....keep it up

Confirm as working on latest PA 2.50 from GSM side.
No FC's, no errors..
It needs some improvements here and there but I know this is the first release so I will be gentle .
Congratulations Max and keep this work up. I might have found the right kernel for me.

work's like Sex on CM10 and UJ dude no issues at all, no slow downs nothing

Works perfect with with amazing sense v 0.2 up to 1.7ghz

hey the ROM works like a CHARM on my AOKP 4.1.2 [bulid 24th oct] maintainded my rukin
keep up the good WORK

Hi
Just some more information about this kernel.
There are 2 motivations for me for this
1) Adi_Pat has unfortunately stopped his kernel dev for the moment
so I would like to continue his great work by integrating some of his
changes and improvements
2) moving towards a mainstream CAF kernel
To support simonsimons34 project to provide me a test platform
where I can easily test and try CAF components before.

@shubham can you build a sense version without uv as my phone does not boot an undervolted kernel. Please.

[JB 4.2][ROM]Mackay ROM 2.999 Final (9-Oct-2013)

I have been sharing my CM7/CM9/CM10 builds for some time in several thread, which culminated in the MackayROM. I continue now with JB4.2 from where I am for JB4.1. MackayROM is based on CyanogenMod sources, with several performance enhancements.
About Cyanogen: CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.2 (JellyBean), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
If you run into errors, I may not be able to solve it!
If you know a solution to a problem, either upload it yourself to Gerrit Code Review or contact me through pm.
The ROM is based on CM10.1 with the following changes:
-Mackay Kernel:
-Set of cherries picked from gerrit (differing by the day)
-Some handmade patches I did myself to the source code
Feature request are OK, but remember:
1. I try to stay close to stock
2. I will not include additional apps, unless they can be build from source
3. The time I spend on features depends on how much I like them myself
Changelog of 2.99 Final compared to previous release (2.13.0)
-Because I am going to move over to JB4.3, this is the final JB4.2 build
-Source code updated 14-Aug-2013
-New kernel 0.399-Final (updated to Linux v3.0.90)

Coming from stock Samsung ROM/CM7:
-The safest way is to flash CM9 first and then flash Mackay ROM. Going directly from Samsung ROM/CM7 to Mackay ROM may lead to loosing IMEI.
Can be flashed on top of any CM9/CM10.0 build:
-Coming from CM9 or CM10-builds with an old/different partition layout (older than 0817, helly bean): your phone will be wiped (except SD card)
-Coming from a recent CM10.0 build (0817 or later): this is a non-wipe update. I advice to wipe, except when coming from MackayROM 1.6.1 or higher
-Any JB4.2/CM10.1 gapps packages should be flashed for Google Play and other google apps (e.g. from http://goo.im/gapps)
-Custom kernels can be used only if specific for JB4.2

FAQ
Q. I can't change governor in NStools (or any similar app)
A. Go to recovery, mount data & datadata partition, then fix permission. You can also install the fix permissions app to this for you: http://bit.ly/YxPgLD
Q. Process x (e.g. mediaserver/phone) is eating 50+% of my battery, what should I do?
A. Go to settings>apps>all and find the app which is causing the battery drain. Then delete app data and reboot phone. If it does not help, you can combine this step with clearing dalvik cache.
Q. I have problems with Play Store FC
A. Please install a recent gapps package (see e.g. http://goo.im/gapps)
Q. App x misbehaves
A1. If you installed it from Play Store you should report to the author of the app
A2. If it is an app bundled with the ROM, please give me the following information:
-ROM & kernel version number
-Previous ROM & last time you wiped
-Which app
-Describe the problem (how can it be reproduced -> otherwise it is impossible to test for me)
-If possible, make a logcat (e.g. if an app crashes/does something odd, a logcat can help trace back to the origin)

Great!!! Download finished-> installation without any issues finished-> phone is booting and starting without any wipes from Matts 4.2.1. Wifi works!
Many thanks Kaspar for another great ROM!

Yeees, will try and give feedback asap

its smooth, no lags so far and no fcs for me! :good:

The most difficult part was to get WiFi to work out-of-the box.
I actually reverted all the updates of pawitp. So the source code of the kernel is identical to the JB4.1 version of the kernel.

I'm waiting for more feedback and I'll flash ..

you should dont at crom is slim based and this is cm10.1.
if you flash you may fall under some issues so it better to have fresh installation.

Credits should also go for Pawitp for today's Wi-Fi fixhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34883751&postcount=738

Works very smooth, better than the other 4.2 roms in terms of smoothness. No Fc or other errors, good work Is it possible to include a quick settings mod or do you wait until something similar gets merged into cm 10.1?

Ah, just a little question, it's cm based so there are toggles and cm option ?

I agree. This is an amazing rom considering it's an alpha build. I'm really impressed. It's definitely ready for daily use.
I just miss one thing: center clock.

With some users Wi-Fi is broken which doesn't depend on which kernel to use. E.g. you are using Semaphore and Wi-Fi doesn't work, you can flash pawitp's Wi-Fi_fix to get Wi-Fi working.

Good job I've flashed, all is OK but for me it's laggy :/

Is external SD card connecting and shown at pc? For there is only internal sd connection....

External card not showing in pc, wifi , 3g net working fine, gps had a fix even before maps finished loading the graphics first time using gps this morning, the rest all fine, ready for daily use for sure, im keeping this one not going back to 4.1, if its good already in alpha it will be perfect soon.
Just missing all the tweaks that dont exist yet

Nice beginning. Perfect for daily use. Waiting for news :good:

[JB 4.3][ROM]Infamous AOKP 1.1

[JB 4.3][ROM]Infamous AOKP 1.1
As many users requested an update of Infamous AOKP for JB4.3, I decided to give it a try!
I have been sharing my CM7/CM9/CM10/CM10.1 builds for some time in several thread, which culminated in the MackayROM & Infamous AOKP. I continue now with JB4.3 from where I was for JB4.2. Infamous AOKP is based on AOKP sources, with several performance enhancements.
About AOKP: AOKP is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.3 (JellyBean), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
If you run into errors, I may not be able to solve it!
If you know a solution to a problem, either upload it yourself to Gerrit Code Review or contact me through pm.
The ROM is based on AOKP sources with the following changes:
-Mackay Kernel:
-Set of cherries picked from gerrit (differing by the day)
-Some additional patches I did myself to the source code
Feature request are OK, but remember:
1. I try to stay close to stock
2. I will not include additional apps, unless they can be build from source
3. The time I spend on features depends on how much I like them myself
Changelog of 1.1 - 09-Oct-2013
-Source updated to 9-Oct
-Newest kernel (with zram) & updated device tree
Changelog of 1.0 - 25-Sep-2013

ROM comes with stock colour. Version with voodoo colour can be downloaded from:
http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/kasper_h/kernels/JB43/
Kernel for switching internal & external SD
Because vold.fstab is no longer used and has been integrated in fstab.aries (which can only be changed before compiling the kernel, as it ends up in the ramdisk), I made a special kernel version with switched SD cards:
http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/kasper_h/kernels/JB43/switchSD/
*Available through Settings>Mackay Settings
CWM:
-Clear NSTools settings
-Clear init.d settings
-Show battery status in recovery
-Aroma FileManager
-Include using soft keys to navigate the menu (thanks fishears for the idea)
-Enable holding keys for repeated presses
-Themed orange
TWRP:
-Themed orange
-Run recovery-apps (zip files should be present in /system/mackay, launch them through advanced->run app)
-Build in a script to reboot from twrp to cwm*
*To use this feature from TWRP, tap advanced>run app>rebootcwm.zip. Then from the homescreen choose: reboot>recovery
Added apps:
-AngryGPS
vendor/aokp:
-Adapt for custom Infamous building (bootanimation, ROM&file name)
-Custom bootanimation (Thanks to Infamous team)
device/samsung/aries-common:
-Sets app-close to 1000 ms
hardware/samsung:
-F4k 720p patch for bigmem kernels
AriesParts (“Mackay Settings” in Settings menu):
Add mackay kernel settings options:
>Recovery selection
>WiFi PM mode selection
>BLX settings
>BLN activation
Coming from stock Samsung ROM/CM7:
-The safest way is to flash CM9 first and then flash Mackay ROM. Going directly from Samsung ROM/CM7 to Mackay ROM may lead to loosing IMEI.
Fresh install:
Can be flashed on top of any CyanogenMod build:
-Do a factory reset
-Flash ROM
-Flash a gapps packages of choice
-Reboot your phone
Update:
-Flash ROM
-Reboot your phone
(no wipes or other things needed, just flash & reboot
-Custom kernels can be used only if specific for JB4.3
Credits:
-teamhacksung/pawitp for making CyanogenMod work on our ancient phone
-AOKP for the basecode used
-stratosk/DerTeufel/Mialwe for the inspiration I got from their kernels
-rootax & xdafileserver for providing a high-speed server for high quality downloads
-Malcho for his kernel splash & bootanimation

Thank

Thank

bootanimation very cool, the touch buttons does not seem to go very well and when you enter settings take small screenshots
EDIT:
solved installing gapps. sorry for the negative post

awesomee! a new AOKP for our i9000!! hoppefully certainly be improved and very stable, you're a fantastic developer

Very good rom.I like the settings(ribbons...)Congratulations.

Rom is very good working without problem, only thing i miss is the settings for kernel (cpu,governor,scheduler etc) in mackay settings there is not option, neither in system. Is something i forget to do?or it is not implemented?
Also i cannot find the quick settings and the most settings for status bar toggles(custom toggles) are grey,not selectable but this is not problem rather a report(used to it from mackay 4.3 cm). And a question,is there a way to have dsp manager without a notification in status bar?
Thank you for bringing aokp 4.3 to our sgs, also, boot animation is nice

Copy /system/etc/apns-conf.xml from the latest nightly and paste to /etc. (You'll replace that old one with it). Set permission to 777 and reboot. After rebooting open APN settings and: menu, reset to default! It worked me.

By 777 he means to change the permissions of the file to rw-r-r as the other files (use root explorer and long press the file to find permissions).

I think they made a break without compiling nightlys, but now they compile then again, its only relevant when you own N7-2 or Oppo 5.

Hey compacity, how is AOKP running? and did you try the Mackay ROM before this? if yes, which one is more stable and faster?

If you like my opinion mackay cm is more stable plus cheries and interface and fast than infamous. I just reverted to mackay from aokp

[KK4.4][KERNEL][CWM/TWRP]Mackay kernel 0.692 (16-Sept-2014)

Just like for CM9&CM10&CM10.1&CM10.2, I started making a CM11.0/KK4.4 kernel. The philosophy is the same: stock plus quite a few extras
This kernel is based on my CM10.2 Mackay kernel, updated using upstream patches from CM11.0
Thanks to all SGS-CM-kernel developers (pawitp, stratosk, DerTeufel, Glitch, mialwe, krarvind), I learned a lot from all of you!

Hi Kasper_h,
I cannot flash your kernel "Mackay_kernel_0.600_cwm_CMC-signed.zip" but this "Mackay_kernel_0.600_cwm_VC-signed.zip" works fine
Many thanks.

You probably get a get.prop error with the cwm_CMC version? That is the only kernel flavour where I didn't fix the script yet. I am now at work, so I can't change it from here. If you have e.g. 7zip, you can copy the updater-script from the VC kernel to the CMC kernel and then it can be flashed.

Hi kasper_h, can we have an I9000B version of your job? That would be great! Thanks.
