[PATCH v3 0/7] support for cubieboard2 / sunxi processors

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 to a panic due to not finding a root
filesystem. This seems to have regressed and now it hangs during dom0
boot. I''m not sure why this is but I think it is because I''ve
rebased my
dom0 kernel and not something in this series. I don''t think this needs
to block this series though, especially since the APM guys want bits of
it (specifically the ns16550 DT stuff).

Progress has been made on the upstream SATA support, but nothing is
actually in place yet.

Ian.

[PATCH 1/7] xen/arm: Implement ioremap.

Common code uses this, it expects an uncached mapping.

[PATCH 3/7] ns16550: make usable on ARM

There are several aspects to this:
- Correctly conditionalise use of PCI
- Correctly conditionalise use of IO ports
- Add discovery via device tree
- Support different registers shift/stride and widths
- Add vuart hooks.

[PATCH 4/7] ns16550: support DesignWare 8250

This hardware has an additional feature which signals an error if you try to
write LCR while the UART is busy. We need to clear this error during setup,
otherwise LCR.DLAB doesn''t get set and we cannot read/write the
divisor.

This has been tested on the cubieboard2

[PATCH 7/7] xen/arm: Blacklist some sun7i UARTs

These are in the same page as the UART which is used as the Xen console. We are
not currently smart enough to avoid passing them through to the guest,
accidentally giving the guest access to the Xen console UART.

Probably not, many of them are a hangover from the previous hacky

Can we blacklist all the UARTs via a DT_MATCH_COMPATIBLE? It''s better

There are other UARTS (at 0x1c29xxx) which could safely be exposed to
dom0. Perhaps it is better to just blacklist the whole lot though.

Ultimately this is just a hack for the fact that Xen is not currently
smart enough to figure out which devices conflict in this way...

I''ve applied the first 5:
45b1870 xen/arm: Implement ioremap.
204cb1e xen/arm: replace io{read,write}{l,b} with {read,write}{l,b}
7c1de00 ns16550: make usable on ARM
50417cd ns16550: support DesignWare 8250
7b3c792 xen/arm: Support Cortex-A7 GIC

Which in particular includes the ns16550 dt stuff that others are
looking for.

These UARTs also share the same page, what prevents the user to use 
these UARTs?

I have noticed that all the UARTs, except UART0, have a property : 
status = "disabled". So Xen won''t map the UART in dom0
memory.
> Ultimately this is just a hack for the fact that Xen is not currently
> smart enough to figure out which devices conflict in this way...
After my comment above, do we really need to blacklist all the other 
UARTs? As we only support the cubieboard 2, if we only want a hack, I 
think we can safely avoid this patch for now.

Nothing, but because they don''t share a page with the xen UART they
don''t cause it to get exposed to dom0.

There are quite a few Allwinner A20 based devices out there, e.g. I''ve
got a MELE M5 which I ultimately hope will work too, so I''d be
reluctant
to hardcode cubie specifics.

Probably just blacklisting all the UARTs is the easiest way to go for
now -- typically only one of them is usefully exposed on the systems
I''ve seen anyway and most of the others are pin muxed with something
more useful, like an MMC device.

My question wasn''t clear. What does prevent the user to use another
UART
for Xen?

Nothing "prevents" it.  That is the problem.  If several UARTs are on
the same page, Xen cannot safely isolate its UART from dom0/domU.

He meant one of the other UARTs not on the same page as the primary one.
The answer is "not much".

However UART0 @ 0x1c28000 is the "debug" UART which is the one
typically
wired up in a useful way on these platforms. The others are pin-muxed
with other functionality, such as MMC, LCD etc and are more often used
as such (I''m sure there will be exceptions).

That said Julien is probably right that the best solution is to just
blacklist all 8 UARTs.

Together with the 7/7 patch (uart blacklisting) doing this causes:
        sunxi.c:21:26: error: sunxi_dt_compat causes a section type conflict
with sunxi_blacklist_dev
         static const char const *sunxi_dt_compat[] __initconst                 
^
        sunxi.c:27:37: note: ‘sunxi_blacklist_dev’ was declared here
         static const struct dt_device_match sunxi_blacklist_dev[] __initconst  
^
I'm not sure why this would be, but I notice that vexpress and exynos5
both use __initdata for their dt_compat lists and __initconst for their
blacklists.

Any thoughts?

google flags up a bunch of similar sounds gcc bugs, but they are all for
older versions than the 4.8 (linaro 2013.08 FWIW) that I'm using.

I'm inclined to keep using __initdata for the dt_compat list as all the
other platforms do.

Ian.

It's because the const should be after * in sunxi_dt_compat ie

static const char * const sunxi_dt_compat[] __initconst
