Samsung Released Source Kernel for Galaxy Tab 10.1; Now Overclocked to 1.4GHz Stable!

[dgstorm]

A couple of days ago, Samsung released the kernel source code for their Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Tablet, and some tech-gurus over at XDA Developers have already overclocked the beat to a stable 1.4GHz. Supposedly, after the overclock the tab was noticeably snappier and gained about 25% in benchmarks. The developer, pershoot, posted instructions for you to give it a go yourself if you want. Here they are in a quote,

[Kernel] [Preview] - 2.6.36.4 - OC-VFP_FP 1.4GHZ - Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Update: 6/24/11)

This is a preview of what I have been working on. There is more to do, so am making this a preview until I have some other things smoothened out and other things honed down.

I will post an extensive changelog and add to RM after the upload to github completes.

-use GT-P7510 source from opensource.samsung.com and supplied defconfig, as a base
-merged up to kernel.org's, 2.6.36.4
-oc to 1.4GHZ @ 1.200
-same optimisations as gtab-2632 (-O1, cortex/vfp/fp optimisations via CodeSourcery 2009-q1)

If you want to bench, it is advised that you set min/max to the same number.
