Hi all, this patch series implements Xen support for ARMv7 with virtualization extensions. It allows a Linux guest to boot as dom0 and as domU on Xen on ARM. PV console, disk and network frontends and backends are all working correctly.
It has been tested on a Versatile Express Cortex A15 emulator, using the latest Xen ARM developement branch (git://xenbits.xen.org/people/ianc/xen-unstable.git arm-for-4.3) plus the "ARM hypercall ABI: 64 bit ready" patch series (http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=134426267205408), and a simple ad-hoc tool to build guest domains (marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=134089788016546).
The patch marked with [HACK] has been dropped from this series, however you can find it here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=134513277823527&w=2.
I am also attaching to this email the dts'es that I am currently using for dom0 and domU: vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1.dts (that includes vexpress-v2m-rs1-rtsm.dtsi) is the dts used for dom0 and it is passed to Linux by Xen, while vexpress-virt.dts is the dts used for other domUs and it is appended in binary form to the guest kernel image. I am not sure where they are supposed to live yet, so I am just attaching them here so that people can actually try out this series if they want to.
Comments are very welcome!
Patch #21 "arm/v2m: initialize arch_timers even if v2m_timer is not present" touches generic ARM code and still needs to be acked/reviewed.
Arnd, Russell, what do you think about this series? If you are OK with it, to whom should I submit it?
Changes in v4: - rebase on 3.6-rc5; - devicetree: "xen,xen" should be last as it is less specific; - devicetree: use 2 address-cells and 2 size-cells in the reg property; - do not xs_reset_watches on dom0; - compile drivers/xen/pcpu.c only on x86; - use "+=" instead of ":=" for dom0- targets; - add a patch to update the MAINTAINERS file.
Changes in v3: - move patches that have been picked up by Konrad at the end of the series; - improve comments; - add a doc to describe the Xen Device Tree format; - do not use xen_ulong_t for multicalls and apic_physbase; - add a patch at the end of the series to use the new __HVC macro; - add missing pvclock-abi.h include to ia64 header files; - do not use an anonymous union in struct xen_add_to_physmap.
Changes in v2: - fix up many comments and commit messages; - remove the early_printk patches: rely on the emulated serial for now; - remove the xen_guest_init patch: without any PV early_printk, we don't need any early call to xen_guest_init, we can rely on core_initcall alone; - define an HYPERCALL macro for 5 arguments hypercall wrappers, even if at the moment is unused; - use ldm instead of pop in the hypercall wrappers; - return -ENOSYS rather than -1 from the unimplemented grant_table functions; - remove the pvclock ifdef in the Xen headers; - remove include linux/types.h from xen/interface/xen.h; - replace pr_info with pr_debug in xen_guest_init; - add a new patch to introduce xen_ulong_t and use it top replace all the occurences of unsigned long in the public Xen interface; - explicitely size all the pointers to 64 bit on ARM, so that the hypercall ABI is "64 bit ready"; - clean up xenbus_init; - make pci.o depend on CONFIG_PCI and acpi.o depend on CONFIG_ACPI; - mark Xen guest support on ARM as EXPERIMENTAL; - introduce GRANT_TABLE_PHYSADDR; - remove unneeded initialization of boot_max_nr_grant_frames; - add a new patch to clear IRQ_NOAUTOEN and IRQ_NOREQUEST in events.c; - return -EINVAL from xen_remap_domain_mfn_range if auto_translated_physmap; - retain binary compatibility in xen_add_to_physmap: use a union to introduce foreign_domid.
