Hello, This patch series allows an ARM64 ACPI based platform to use KVM. Currently the KVM code has to parse the firmware table to get the necessary information to setup the virtual timer and virtual GIC. However the parsing of those tables are already done in the GIC and arch timer drivers. This patch series introduces different helpers to retrieve the information from different drivers avoiding the duplication of the parsing code. Compare to v2, the serie has been reworked to allow easy merge via the different trees. For the other changes see the different patches. Sincerely yours, Julien Grall (9): clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Gather KVM specific information in a structure clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Extend arch_timer_kvm_info to get the virtual IRQ irqchip/gic-v2: Gather ACPI specific data in a single structure irqchip/gic-v2: Parse and export virtual GIC information irqchip/gic-v3: Gather all ACPI specific data in a single structure irqchip/gic-v3: Parse and export virtual GIC information KVM: arm/arm64: arch_timer: Rely on the arch timer to parse the firmware tables KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Rely on the GIC driver to parse the firmware tables clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Remove arch_timer_get_timecounter drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c | 11 ++- drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-common.c | 13 +++ drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-common.h | 3 + drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c | 145 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c | 91 +++++++++++++++++++-- include/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.h | 12 +-- include/kvm/arm_vgic.h | 7 +- include/linux/irqchip/arm-gic-common.h | 34 ++++++++ virt/kvm/arm/arch_timer.c | 40 +++------ virt/kvm/arm/vgic-v2.c | 67 ++++++--------- virt/kvm/arm/vgic-v3.c | 45 +++------- virt/kvm/arm/vgic.c | 50 ++++++------ 12 files changed, 345 insertions(+), 173 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/linux/irqchip/arm-gic-common.h -- 1.9.1 -- 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
