Hi Guys,
I didn't had time to put in an effort on this but here is a problem
reported by Santosh. See if somebody can get this fixed..
arch/arm/mach-exynos/sleep.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/mach-exynos/sleep.S:57: Error: invalid immediate for address
calculation (value = 0x00000004)
Its because of THUMB2 and a probably fix would be something
like this:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/31/235
NOTE: Mainline's defconfig doesn't get this as THUMB2 isn't
enabled.
Reproduced on 3.15-rc6

Hi Guys,
Here is second version of series that enables KVM support for V7 big endian
kernels. Mostly it deals with BE KVM host support. Marc Zyngier showed before
with his patches how BE guest could run on top LE host. With these patches
BE guest runs on top of BE host. If Marc's kvmtool is used with few
additional changes I tested that BE host could run LE guest. Also I verified
that there were no regressions in BE guest on top of LE host case.
Note that posted series covers only kernel side changes. The changes were
tested inside of bigger setup with additional changes in qemu and kvmtool.
I will post those changes separately in proper aliases but for completeness
sake Appendix A gives pointers to git repositories and branches with all
needed changes.
Changes since V1:
1) Patch that handles issue of including assembler.h into kvm .S file now
handled separately. It was posted before on mailing list [1]. This series
depend on it.
2) Incorporated most of Christoffer V1 review comments. The only thing
I did not do wrt Christoffer's suggestion is possible rework of 'one_reg
coproc set and get BE fixes' patch. I think I put better explanation on
what my code does, and if it is still not good we will go from there.
3) Moved rr_lo_hi macro into arch/arm/include/asm/kvm_asm.h along the
lines Christoffer suggested
4) Split 'fix KVM assembler files to work in BE case' patch into 4 smaller
one each handling one logic issue.
Thanks,
Victor

Appendix A: Testing and Full Setup Description
----------------------------------------------
I) No mixed mode setup - i.e BE guest on BE host; and LE guest
on LE host tested to make sure no regressions.
KVM host and guest kernels:
TC2 on top of Linus 3.13 (this patch series):
git: git://git.linaro.org/people/victor.kamensky/linux-linaro-tracking-be.git
branch: arm-be-kvm-3.13
range: 7098f45..78419d0
TC2 and Arndale on top of Linaro BE tree:
git: git://git.linaro.org/people/victor.kamensky/linux-linaro-tracking-be.git
branch: llct-be-20140211-kvm
range: 308a752..ae47fa8
- TC1 kernels used as guests
qemu:
git: git://git.linaro.org/people/victor.kamensky/qemu-be.git
branch: armv7be-v1
description: changes to run qemu on armeb target; and other
changes to work with be image on top of be host
kvmtool:
git: git://git.linaro.org/people/victor.kamensky/linux-linaro-tracking-be.git
branch: kvmtool-armv7be-v1
description: minimal changes to build kvmtool for armeb target; and
tiny change with virtio magic
II) Mixed mode setup all possible combinations within V7 (LE guest on BE host;
BE guest on LE host as Marc's setup tested to make sure no regressions) only
with kvmtool.
This work is based on Marc Zyngier's work that made BE guest to run on top
of LE host. For this setup special version of kvmtool should be used and
in addition I had to apply patch to guest kernel that would switch reading
virtio configs reads to be LE only, that is made on top of previous Rusty
Russell's changes. Effectively I just had to do very minor addition to make
LE guest to work on BE host, most of heavy lifting was done before by Marc.
KVM host kernels: as in previous setup
Guest TC1 kernels with LE virtio config patch:
git: git://git.linaro.org/people/victor.kamensky/linux-linaro-tracking-be.git
branch: virtio-leconfig-3.13-rc4
kvmtool:
git: git://git.linaro.org/people/victor.kamensky/linux-linaro-tracking-be.git
branch: kvmtool-mixed-v1
description: based on git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git
branch kvm-arm64/kvmtool-be-on-le; adds missing include fix; above armeb target
build patches; and one fix related to BE mode
qemu:
git: git://git.linaro.org/people/victor.kamensky/qemu-be.git
branch: armv7be-leconfig-v1
description: change virtio-blk that so qemu could work with guest image
where virtio leconfig is made; note it does not work in mixed mode; to do
so qemu would need bunch of similar changes that Marc did in kvmtool
Implement and enable context tracking for arm64 (which is
a prerequisite for FULL_NOHZ support). This patchset
builds upon earlier work by Kevin Hilman and is based on
Will Deacon's tree.
Changes v3 to v4:
* Rename parameter of ct_user_exit from save to restore
* Rebased patch to Will Deacon's tree (branch remotes/origin/aarch64
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git)
Changes v2 to v3:
* Save/restore necessary registers in ct_user_enter and ct_user_exit
* Annotate "error paths" out of el0_sync with ct_user_exit
Changes v1 to v2:
* Save far_el1 in x26 temporarily
Larry Bassel (2):
arm64: adjust el0_sync so that a function can be called
arm64: enable context tracking
