Hi Pavel, [Please cc the kvm/arm list for such patches according to the MAINTAINERS file in the future] On Mon, Jun 29, 2015 at 12:53:46PM +0300, Pavel Fedin wrote: > Some hardware (like Raspberry Pi 2) is capable of running KVM, however lacks > functional vGIC registers.

I really feel that pure emulation should happen in userspace unless there's a very good reason for doing it in the kernel, such as a clearly measureable difference in performance, etc. I would much rather see a version of this where a userspace provided GIC works with the in-kernel arch timers support. -Christoffer -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
