Hello,
sadly ARM software avoids the kernel on my device to be patched. I'm not ablet in anyway to compile a working mali.ko kernel module to get the binaries libMali.so and libUmp.so connected to them. This means I can't patch my Linux kernel for my Android tablet.
Thanks ARM! The tablet manufacturers might have modified the sources and just closed them.
The kernel modules don't comply with GPLv2 as they should. So it's not possible to get custom ROM's on that tablet with legal investments.
Thanks ARM again for closed source even the modules, which is a really bad thing. Opensource and ARM GPU's are not complying.

I think I got it solved now. I've taken from an Amlogic 8726-M3 kern source the Mali directory and replaced it with the Mali directory inside my Amlogic 8726-MX/M6 kernel.
So now I have a single core mali module instead of the dualcore version.
Does the Mali GPU now perform in single core or in dual core mode? I haven't changed the library drivers, so the Mali GPU should be able to run in a dual core mode by the library drivers, but do the new modules limit it to single core mode?
Thanks for reply.
Regards,
Johannes
