With current implementation the vgic is initialized implicitly, on-demand. This patch forces the init in the vgic finalize function. At that point all the dimensioning parameters are known. A new group/attribute in VGIC KVM device is used for that: KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL/KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT. Among other things, this earlier VGIC initialization allows to have a simpler handling of VFIO. VFIO platform signaling can be setup on reset handler, making sure the VGIC is ready, at that time, to accept injected virtual IRQs. Tested on Calxeda Midway with VFIO platform use case Can be found on http://git.linaro.org/people/eric.auger/qemu.git, branch early_vgic_init_v4 v3 -> v4: - now integrates all the header updates of update-linux-headers.sh applied on top of 4.0-rc2 kernel (and not a partial export as in v3). - VIRTIO_TRANSPORT_F_END value needed to be changed to 33 in include/hw/virtio/virtio.h to fix a duplicate definition compilation error (also defined in virtio_config.h) - integrates a new patch file that add export of virtio_types.h, now included by virtio_ring.h. v2 -> v3: - changed to a patch since the kernel dependency was pulled v1 -> v2: - The init is not mandated to be done in a machine init done notifier anymore since only the number of vcpus and number of IRQs must be known at init time.
