Aug 08 18:03:20 <viric> Hello
Aug 08 18:03:35 <viric> I've noticed the openwrt people have a patch over the mainline kernel about "Implement CPU Idle"
Aug 08 18:03:53 <viric> Does it mean that the mainline kernel has troubles with CPU idle?
Aug 08 20:37:52 <Tootoot222> viric: it could be it didn't/doesn't have it for a spesfic board
Aug 08 20:38:03 <Tootoot222> not that it doesn't have it for *any* board
Aug 08 20:43:35 <viric> Tootoot222: ahh.
Aug 08 20:43:42 <viric> Tootoot222: the commit looks quite general
Aug 08 20:44:16 <viric> Tootoot222: I'll find it
Aug 08 20:44:36 <viric> https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/target/linux/kirkwood/patches/004-cpuidle.patch
Aug 08 20:45:38 <viric> kirkwood and sheevaplug are not the same maybe? Current kernels have 'sheevaplug_defconfig' iirc
Aug 08 20:47:19 <MostAwesomeDude> Sheevas are kirkwoods, Gurus are orions, IIRC.
Aug 08 20:49:04 <tbm> MostAwesomeDude: no, sheevaplug and guruplug both uses the kirkwood cpu
Aug 08 20:49:25 <MostAwesomeDude> tbm: Oh, okay.
Aug 08 20:51:14 <viric> Then is there a trouble with CPU_IDLE?
Aug 08 20:51:54 <viric> in fact I have CPU_IDLE enabled in my sheevaplug kernel
Aug 08 20:52:04 <viric> which does not mean that I have a good implementation for it
Aug 08 20:52:50 <tbm> viric: the patch from the URL you pasted went into the mainline kernel several months ago
Aug 08 20:52:59 <tbm> maybe openwrt has the patch because they use an old kernel
Aug 08 20:53:04 <tbm> but it's part of any modern kernel
Aug 08 20:53:11 <viric> tbm: ok
Aug 08 20:53:27 <viric> I use 2.6.34.1
Aug 08 20:53:54 <viric> I had a problem with the power supply one or two months ago; I had to replace some condensers
Aug 08 20:54:04 <viric> which blew up
Aug 08 20:54:14 <viric> I was relating it to cpu_idle problems already :)
Aug 08 20:54:25 <viric> tbm: thank you.
