similar to: [PATCH 0 of 9] (v2) arm: SMP boot

Hi, This is the fifth version of this patch series. With the Versatile Express TC2, it''s possible to boot only with A7 or A15. If the user choose to boot with only A7, the CPU ID will start at 0x100. As Xen relies on it to set the logical ID and the GIC, it won''t be possible to use Xen with this use case. This patch series is divided in 3 parts: - Patch 1: prepare Xen

I''m afraid this series is rather a grab bag and it is distressingly large at this stage. With this series I can boot an Xgene board until it fails to find its SATA controller. This is a dom0 issue for which patches are pending from APM (/me nudges Anup). As well as the APM specific platform stuff there are also some generic improvements which were either necessary or useful during this

Check for: - uninitialized GIC interface addresses; - non-page aligned GIC interface addresses. Panic in both cases. Also remove the code from GICH and GICC to handle non-page aligned interfaces.

The VMID field is 8 bits. Rather than allowing only up to 256 VMs per host reboot before things start "acting strange" instead maintain a simple bitmap of used VMIDs and allocate them statically to guests upon creation. This limits us to 256 concurrent VMs which is a reasonable improvement. Eventually we will want a proper scheme to allocate VMIDs on context switch. The existing code

George has release acked all of these. Otherwise mostly minor updates this time around. Summary: A == acked, M == modified A xen: arm64: Add 8250 earlyprintk support A xen: arm64: Add Basic Platform support for APM X-Gene Storm. A xen: arm64: Add APM implementor id to processor implementers. M xen: arm: add a quirk to handle platforms with unusual GIC layout A xen: arm: allow platform

Hi all, these are the remaining unapplied patches of the ARM HDLCD patch series. Changes in v7: - rebased on b61ed421d2c85b5b106c63f2c14f8aa162b282f0; - turn more printk and panic into early_printk and early_panic. Changes in v6: - rebased on 77d3a1db3196b1b5864469f8d3f41d496800c795; - remove useless initializations to NULL in lfb_init; - more compact checks in lfb_init. Changes in v5: - move

First off, Apologies for the massive patch series... This series boots a 32-bit dom0 kernel to a command prompt on an ARMv8 (AArch64) model. The kernel is the same one as I am currently using with the 32 bit hypervisor I haven''t yet tried starting a guest or anything super advanced like that ;-). Also there is not real support for 64-bit domains at all, although in one or two places I

See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/297170 for some information on how to get this going. I''ve rebased and addressed the review comments. As before several of the patches are not to be applied because they can be done better using infrastructure from Julien''s "Allow Xen to boot with a raw Device Tree" patch. They are included for completeness. With

Hello everyone, this is the fourth version of the patch series that introduces ARMv7 with virtualization extensions support in Xen. The series allows Xen and Dom0 to boot on a Cortex-A15 based Versatile Express simulator. See the following announce email for more informations about what we are trying to achieve, as well as the original git history: See

Hello everyone, this is the very first version of the patch series that introduces ARMv7 with virtualization extensions support in Xen.

This round implements all of the review comments from V2 and all patches are now acked. Unless there are any objections I intend to apply later this morning. Ian.

Hello, This is the second version of this patch series. I only implement the VPF context switch support for arm32 and add dummy function to avoid compilation on arm64. I have switched the order of the patch because the old second one can be applied alone and the patch are cleaner :). For all the changes see each patch. Cheers, Julien Grall (2): xen/arm: don''t enable VFP on XEN

In the GIC manual, the number of interrupt lines is computed with the following formula: 32(N + 1) where N is the value retrieved from GICD_TYPER.

If the vgic needs to inject a virtual irq into the guest, but no free LR registers are available, add the irq to a list and return. Whenever an LR register becomes available we add the queued irq to it and remove it from the list. We use the gic lock to protect the list and the bitmask.

During context switch is_running is set for the next vcpu before the gic state is actually saved. This leads to possible nasty races when interrupts need to be injected after is_running is set to the next vcpu but before the currently running gic state has been saved from the previous vcpu. Use current instead of is_running to check which one is the currently running vcpu: set_current is called

Hi all, I'm busy doing optimizations for vorbis. Don't have time for it, but still doing it :-) Some suggestions: there are some double function names: forward/inverse pack/unpack look/free_look/free_info and maybe more. If they were renamed to time0_forward etc. profiling would be a lot easier. Oh, and add -fno-inline to $PROFILE in the Makefiles (or configure). Most expensive

Rename the existing gic_dump_info to gic_dump_info_guest reduce confusion.

See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/297170 for some information on how to get this going. I''ve rebased and addressed the review comments. With this rebase I''ve picked up some patches from Julien which were required to do things properly, so the gic v7 and device blacklisting patches have been changed to use the proper mechanisms. Previously I was able to boot

We need to write the irq number to GICC_DIR on the physical cpu that previously received the interrupt, but currently we are doing it on the pcpu that received the maintenance interrupt. As a consequence if a vcpu is migrated to a different pcpu, the irq is going to be EOI''ed on the wrong pcpu. This covers the case where dom0 vcpu0 is running on pcpu1 for example (you can test this
