Xen devel - Apr 2013 - XEN with SMP on ARMv7 with virtualizations extensions

Guys,

Could you please clarify if SMP available for XEN on ARMv7 with
virtualizations extensions?
Browsing through stuff for Arndale I do see enabling secondary CPU on XEN
site and SMP enabling on dom0 kernel site. But I do not see SMP
infrastructure implementation on the XEN site.

Sincerely,
Andrii Anisov.

Patches for both host and guest SMP have been posted to this list but
have not yet been applied (they are in my queue to review and apply
soon). That''s the general support I don''t know about Arndale
specifically, there may be additional platform specific work required.

The current specific branch for the Arndale board has support for the SMP.

The configuration file and the device tree already have SMP enabled.
You just need to clone and compile it :).

Julien,

Do you mean SMP at XEN level?
Ok, I''ll take a closer look at XEN for Arndale code.

Sincerely,
Andrii Anisov.

Yes. You can look at xen/arch/arm/smp.c and xen/arch/arm/smpboot.c.
