brcm2708: add squashfs rootfs image

2018-05-18T07:17:49+00:00

This patch adds a image with squashfs as the root filesystem.
A rootfs_data partition will be generated on the first boot
and placed inside the rootfs partition (just after the squashfs
image).

advantages:
 - it is possible to migrate from an existing -ext4
   installation and back via sysupgrade.
 - existing partition layout will not be lost.
 - slightly smaller image size.
 - support for attendedsysupgrade

disadvantages:
 - needs f2fs + tools as well. This is because fs-tools decides on the
   blocksize of the sdcard. So either f2fs or ext4 can get choosen as
   the rootfs_data filesystem (depends on the size of the root partition).
 - rootfs_data is placed into the rootfs partition. This makes
   it difficult for tools that expect a /dev/mmc0pX device.
   It also makes it difficult for data recovery tools since they
   might not expect to find a embedded partition or will be
   confused.

For people with existing build configurations: make sure to include mkf2fs
and f2fsck package into the image... Otherwise the new -squashfs image will
boot of a ram-overlay and won't keep the configurations after a reboot.

target: disable CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR on most targets

2018-01-13T14:04:15+00:00

Disable CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR in most places and only keep it enabled
for virtual targets such as malta or potent ones like x86.

This saves up to 4KB of uncompressed kernel size and significantly
decreases CPU load under certain workloads.

kernel: cleanup CONFIG_SCHED_HRTICK

2017-06-29T02:46:59+00:00

Remove CONFIG_SCHED_HRTICK from target configs, as it was added to the
generic config in b47fd7656336162360ebf66147326763ddae3f8d.

kernel: disable CONFIG_SG_POOL by default

2017-06-07T16:31:10+00:00

CONFIG_SG_POOL symbol is selected only by CONFIG_SCSI, since the last
one is disabled by default then disable CONFIG_SG_POOL by default too.
And explicitly enable it only for platforms that use CONFIG_SCSI.

brcm2708: enable cpufreq

2017-05-23T15:32:49+00:00

With cpufreq disabled, the CPU stays locked at the frequency set by the
bootloader. This severely degrades performance as the bootloader sets
the CPU at the lowest frequency by default.

Enable cpufreq for all subtargets and use the ondemand governor.

Tested bcm2708 on RPi0W. Tested bcm2709 and bcm2710 on RPi3.

brcm2708: disable CONFIG_BCM2835_THERMAL by default

2017-04-15T06:24:42+00:00

This fixes:
  Thermal sensors on bcm2835 SoC (BCM2835_THERMAL) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) aborted!

This symbol depends on ARCH_BCM2835 so it should be OK to disable it at
brcm2708 target only.

brcm2708: update linux 4.9 patches to latest version

2017-03-04T18:37:50+00:00

As usual these patches were extracted and rebased from the raspberry pi repo:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-4.9.y

- Remove led1 from diag.sh for RPi3 since it causes boot issues.
- Fix modules.mk typos.

brcm2708: bcm2709: add support for Raspberry Pi 3

2017-02-07T23:41:48+00:00

This adds support for Raspberry Pi 3 on the bcm2709 subtarget, in order to
keep 32 bit image support when 64 bit support is added on bcm2710 subtarget.
