Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 286/305] x86/paravirt: Prevent rtc_cmos platform device init on PV guests
4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@...rix.com>
commit d8c98a1d1488747625ad6044d423406e17e99b7a upstream.
Adding the rtc platform device in non-privileged Xen PV guests causes
an IRQ conflict because these guests do not have legacy PIC and may
allocate irqs in the legacy range.
In a single VCPU Xen PV guest we should have:
/proc/interrupts:
CPU0
0: 4934 xen-percpu-virq timer0
1: 0 xen-percpu-ipi spinlock0
2: 0 xen-percpu-ipi resched0
3: 0 xen-percpu-ipi callfunc0
4: 0 xen-percpu-virq debug0
5: 0 xen-percpu-ipi callfuncsingle0
6: 0 xen-percpu-ipi irqwork0
7: 321 xen-dyn-event xenbus
8: 90 xen-dyn-event hvc_console
...
But hvc_console cannot get its interrupt because it is already in use
by rtc0 and the console does not work.
genirq: Flags mismatch irq 8. 00000000 (hvc_console) vs. 00000000 (rtc0)
We can avoid this problem by realizing that unprivileged PV guests (both
Xen and lguests) are not supposed to have rtc_cmos device and so
adding it is not necessary.
Privileged guests (i.e. Xen's dom0) do use it but they should not have
irq conflicts since they allocate irqs above legacy range (above
gsi_top, in fact).
Instead of explicitly testing whether the guest is privileged we can
extend pv_info structure to include information about guest's RTC
support.
