Linaro provides a performance improvement of 100%. These optimizations could be added to the xperia x10 mini, mini pro, or x8?

Thanks
Isn't Linaro just another Rom (for other devices of course)?
I don't think those "optimizations" will fit for our devices,
but I'm not a developer.
Bye
Maybe it hase some secret tweaks, but we have to wait for a dev opinion
Linaro are some optimizations for android. The video shows an official rom running on a Motorola Rarz and another with the same phone with Linaro. There roms on XDA with these optimizations for other devices.
Linaro is an ARM toolchain, not a ROM.

Yes Linaro should be applicable to the kernels built here.
As said above it is a toolchain - so compiler/linker/libraries.
The people to ask would be those developing kernels. They would need to build and use the linaro versions of gcc.
Looks like there are some minor differences in how to build a kernel using the linaro toolset as opposed to the standard gcc/etc
What a difference a ROM system in Linaro?
Dunno if a rom compiled with linaro -o3 would make any notable difference on our device but again I have no idea and we can only wait for a dev's input on this.
HI, I'm trying to compile cyanogen's kernel for mako
however with the compiler I used to compile AOSP sources, cm won't compile without modification to source code.
Can anyone tell the toolchain used by CM for it's releases so I can do a successful complication without source code modification?
Anyone willing to tell the toolchain?
hi Guys,
as some of u maybe know from the Samsung Galaxy S3 area i'm doing a "build-service" for non official boeffla kernel builds and as we recently also got a boeffla kernel for the One Plus One device (kudos to @Lord Boeffla!) i want to share with u my self made Linaro (and here also Uber!) builds for that device in addition.
i'm gonna reduce redundancy and keep it shorter this time as about how this started and my primary intention can also be taken from the corresponding Samsung Thread
for people who asks themself: Linaro, Sabermod, Uber what? here some good info about it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C-ehLWl6XcStOmB30QHDA_DOdceXiGIyzXT_0eIg5nQ/edit (thx to @ViditM14 for providing the link!) and finally more infos about Uber Toolchains : https://plus.google.com/+ChetKener/posts/YzMJEkzPQgp and here: https://plus.google.com/communities...3/stream/ac70dec1-dad7-438d-baeb-f8d6644217fd
so without further ado let's go:
First of all the obligatorily Disclaimer:
As also written in the title please note these builds are UNOFFICIAL, are NOT SUPPORTED in any way by Lord Boeffla or myself and might be EVEN UNSTABLE! So take them as they are! As always flash them at your own risk and make a backup before flashing! (yeah take this advice seriously!)
About bugs: Before you report ANY issues with the linaro/uber builds provided here (doesn't matter which one!) FIRST TRY the non-linaro/uber official builds from HERE to see if they will be gone then. if they wont, you can go on and report your problems in the official boeffla kernel thread! I hope you understand that we have to treat and keep these builds here completely separate from official ones as they have in no terms something to do with each other! Not respecting this will force me to stop building further linaro/uber builds of boeffla kernel.
About benchmarks and comparisons between toolchains: It's common known that linaro (maybe also uber?) builds might give us higher benchmark rates and that seems great for some people (in fact it's pointless per se in my opinion ) so please if you really must, post them ONLY here and NOT in official boeffla kernel thread, thanks!
Now some more precise informations about what's going on here:
what i did:
the images are always build with original sources from official boeffla kernel OPO repositories from HERE
with some not worth to mention minor changes to be able to build it on my build environment with non stock toolchains.
all images are compiled from special branches from this forked Boeffla Kernel repository
with Toolchain Linaro 4.8.4-2014.11 + Toolchain Linaro 4.9.3-2015.03 - Credits to @Christopher83 for this pre-configured toolchains and Toolchain Sabermod 4.8.4 + Toolchain Sabermod (Uber) 4.9.3 - Credits to RobbieL811 for this preconfigured toolchains and thx to @ak for pointing me to it! Since 27.03.15 there are also images compiled with Toolchain Uber 4.9.3 20150501 + Toolchain Uber 5.1.1 20150501 + 6.0.0 20150501 (experimental) Credits and Thx to Uber Team!
all images are build with changes from following repos
for Boeffla Kernel CM13.0/CM12.1/CM12/CM11/CM11s/CM12s/COS12.1 Linaro/Uber :
https://github.com/zanezam/boeffla-kernel-cm-bacon
for Boeffla Kernel Oxygen OS 1.0.x Linaro/Uber :
https://github.com/zanezam/boeffla-kernel-oos-bacon
Beside of some additional fixes from my side all changes are mixed up and taken from repositories of ak
and DerRomtester so all credits to them!
...and also for letting me bother them! thank u guys for bring me "on track"!
before someone asks some last words about the used toolchain versions: i did a lot of testing before releasing these builds here
and the used Linaro / Uber versions are the maximum versions which can be used to make working builds with pure boeffla
kernel sources and without changing a lot of code in addition. So if u still want to try higher versions i must state here that Linaro versions
above 4.8 might produce a "messed up" image (without optimized flags and without warnings/errors etc. during build!)
which at the end gives you a boot-looping device and that might even be dangerous, so be aware !! if someone has a clue what exactly has to be
done to use higher versions of the corresponding toolchains (with respecting the original kernel source of course) feel free to let us know,
it will be definitely appreciated!
Update 15.03.15: found one reason and i'm able to use some higher versions now!
But with CM11s and CM11 only Uber 4.9.3 and Linaro 4.8.4 are possible!
builds with higher Linaro/Uber toolchain versions still doesn't boot!
what i will do:
build the source code with linaro/uber toolchain and (like Lord Boeffla usually does) provide a CWM image of recent boeffla kernel versions.
do a test for about 1 day with this builds and if they work without any big issues, add them here in the thread.
i will try to keep the linaro/uber toolchain as up-to-date as possible till the need of bigger code change will be reached.
not providing versions that are not released by Lord Boeffla yet.
not providing an image if it is not working - well of course not *g* but it will be marked as "canceled" then for info.
not change the source code to add/remove features or fix boeffla kernel related bugs.
not support the whole stuff here.
what i will maybe do (sooner or later):
provide ZZMoove Governor test builds if there are any new versions to test - more infos and discussions about ZZMoove Governor can be found HERE
maybe tune the build flags if some more linaro/uber experienced dev comes up with "better" ones (feel free to post and let me know, toolchain specialists! *g*)

finally i wanna throw out big thanks to Lord Boeffla for his great work and for accepting that i provide you these linaro/uber builds here! :highfive:
so now i wish u much fun with these builds and maybe some of u can drop a line about how they work for u
reserved
this one too
Welcome, will test the versions. I tried Ak with linaro. It's ready fast.

I'd be interested to see what gains/ if any can be made with another toolchain, but I'm holding out on a CM version..
Sent from my One A0001 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
yeah that's the question on this device the differences are hard to see but well not every system is the same and maybe "something" works significant better.
i had the impression the builds are a bit more "fluid" then stock and sabermod a bit more "fluid" then linaro but well atm with 2 tired eyes will have to look closer tomorrow
and yes i will add CM11 builds after Lord Boeffla releases im also curious about that CM11s-CM11 differences

He has test builds up, I'm running it now.. It IS speed, it IS fluidity.. Its also stable, no worries.. If a new tool chain could make this any better, I'd be such a happy camper.. All in its own time.. Rest up, I'm here to test when you have time to build..

I'm sure he would link you to where he has builds already would love to see the difference having ran lord boeffla kernel for a while the cm11 version much alohas

ZaneZam version that you recommend? Linaro or Sabermod... Sorry my english but I'm using a translator ...

Ah oc, well I had problems too (on every build also official stock and with pvs value of 5)
They are gone after using +50mv (+25mv is the actual standard) on all oc freq or at least on 2.88. So maybe that helps?

I cannot give any recommendations atm because the builds are too "fresh" had only about 1 day with each of them and also did rebuilds/reboots during that time. So I'm testing like u haven't found "mine" yet.
Any consideration for F2FS compatibility in future ?
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
I'm afraid not from my side as stated in op I will make no changes to the source code except toolchain related ones, so it stays a pure boeffla. If Lord boeffla considers to add it it will also be in these builds here but I think he has already made his point clear about f2fs and not adding it. it's a benefits/problems question I guess.

about the toolchain difference: well honesty i dunno exactly sabermod toolchain was made for the Sabermod AOSP rom and has AOSP related patches included
but i think the biggest difference between the used toolchains HERE is the difference in gcc version per se 4.7 and 4.8 but someone with more experience/knowledge can surely "spend more light" only thing i know for sure is that these versions are working

Clang Kernel template for Marlin/Sailfish
What is this?
This is a marlin clang template that can be used to create kernels that compile using clang toolchains. It has all the commits by @nathanchance that optimize clang for the Pixel and XL models
What Does this Mean for me?
The 4.x kernels use clang as a toolchain for compilation. Our kernel is 3.18.x, we do not immediately use clang for compilation. GCC is the key part when compiling a 3.18.x kernel. Using clang adds battery and stability improvements (which I have observed). People are readily adopting clang as a compiler and I just want to ease the workload to cherry pick all the commits required to run clang on a marlin or sailfish device.
Where can I find it?
It is found in my git repository linked here: https://github.com/kingbri1/MarlinClangRef
How Do I use it?
All you do is clone it and look at @nathanchance's guide on how to compile with clang https://github.com/nathanchance/android-kernel-clang
Updates
I will be updating this kernel base to the latest security patches and versions, nothing more, nothing less
Thanks to...
@razorloves -I used his kernel base
@nathanchance for putting the time in to create the commits for clang to be used on Pixels and other devices
