Most implementations do not have the v2 compatibility interface, and nobody really needs it. This is a convenient way to run older VMs that do not know about GICv3 (32bit VMs, for example), but that's in no way a common setup. > > > > It seems that GICv2 is a little old for ARM server, I am confused when > > we can use it. > > Do we need to care about these cases? > > > > I don't think you need to care.

Here you go (on my Chromebook running 4.18): PASS gicv2-ipi (3 tests) PASS gicv2-mmio (17 tests) PASS gicv2-mmio-up (17 tests) PASS gicv2-mmio-3p (17 tests) PASS gicv3-ipi (3 tests) PASS gicv2-active (1 tests) PASS gicv3-active (1 tests) Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead, it just smell funny. _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/kvmarm
