Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

The following 'capacity-dmips-mhz' dt property values are used: Cortex-A15: 1024, Cortex-A7: 539 They have been derived form the cpu_efficiency values: Cortex-A15: 3891, Cortex-A7: 2048 by scaling them so that the Cortex-A15s (big cores) use 1024. The cpu_efficiency values were originally derived from the "Big.LITTLE Processing with ARM Cortex™-A15 & Cortex-A7" white paper (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rdm34/big.LITTLE.pdf ). Table 1 lists 1.9x (3891/2048) as the Cortex-A15 vs Cortex-A7 performance ratio for the Dhrystone benchmark. The following platform is affected once cpu-invariant accounting support is re-connected to the task scheduler: r8a7790-lager Cc: Rob Herring <robh+dt@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@armlinux.org.uk> Signed-off-by:Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com>
