Aligning Kernel Upstream and Userspace Approaches in Power Management

Learn about aligning kernel upstream approaches with userspace in power management through this 38-minute technical presentation from Linaro. Explore how Android kernel fragmentation led to the development of Generic Kernel Interface (GKI) and the challenges of coordinating kernel and userspace support. Discover Linaro's development of generic userspace components designed to enable basic power management support with Linux kernel upstream enablement. Examine the architectural approach of these components and their implementation for upstream platform enablement. Understand the ongoing efforts to standardize power management interfaces and the future roadmap for more comprehensive solutions. Gain insights into addressing custom kernel interface standardization and its impact on Android power management functionality.
