Subject: [PATCH v3 00/23] Introduce Xen support on ARM

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] shouldn't be applied and is part of the
series only because it is needed to create domUs.

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!


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.

A branch based on 3.5-rc7 is available here (the __HVC patch is missing
from this branch because it depends on "ARM: opcodes: Facilitate custom
opcode injection" http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=134442896128124):

git://xenbits.xen.org/people/sstabellini/linux-pvhvm.git 3.5-rc7-arm-3

Cheers,

Stefano
