We've been using the port for 6 month now at Ezchip running on top of FPGA in 4 way SMP configuration (support for which will no doubt follow later) and have subjected it to various stress tests (hackbench and such) and it is working up quite well over all. I realize some code style or organization changes might be in order but at the same time wanted to attest the nature of its good and behavior performance on real hardware; so for what it's worth: Tested-by: Gilad Ben-Yossef Cheers, Gilad -- Gilad Ben-Yossef Chief Coffee Drinker gilad@benyossef.com Israel Cell: +972-52-8260388 US Cell: +1-973-8260388 http://benyossef.com "If you take a class in large-scale robotics, can you end up in a situation where the homework eats your dog?" -- Jean-Baptiste Queru From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: from mail-lb0-f174.google.com ([209.85.217.174]:45482 "EHLO mail-lb0-f174.google.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1751149Ab2KGUqV (ORCPT ); Wed, 7 Nov 2012 15:46:21 -0500 Received: by mail-lb0-f174.google.com with SMTP id n3so1635911lbo.19 for ; Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:46:19 -0800 (PST) MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <1352281674-2186-1-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com> References: <1352281674-2186-1-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com> Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2012 22:46:19 +0200 Message-ID: Subject: Re: [RFC Patch v1 00/31] Synopsys ARC Linux kernel Port From: Gilad Ben-Yossef Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Sender: linux-arch-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: To: Vineet Gupta Cc: linux-arch@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, tglx@linutronix.de, arnd@arndb.de Message-ID: <20121107204619.lJfvaRwY3LVZQlzsF0Jfbwfbx44iQThwIakBaUPhrN0@z> On Wed, Nov 7, 2012 at 11:47 AM, Vineet Gupta wrote: > Hi, > > This patchset based off-of 3.7-rc3, introduces the Linux kernel port to > ARC700 processor family (750D and 770D) from Synopsys.
