[PATCH v3 0/2] ARM: KVM: Moving GIC/timer out of arch/arm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As KVM/arm64 is looming on the horizon, it makes sense to move some
of the common code to a single location in order to reduce duplication.

The code could live anywhere. Actually, most of KVM is already built
with a bunch of ugly ../../.. hacks in the various Makefiles, so we're
not exactly talking about style here. But maybe it is time to start
moving into a less ugly direction.

The include files must be in a "public" location, as they are accessed
from non-KVM files (arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.c).

For this purpose, introduce two new locations:
- virt/kvm/arm/ : x86 and ia64 already share the ioapic code in
  virt/kvm, so this could be seen as a (very ugly) precedent.
- include/kvm/  : there is already an include/xen, and while the
  intent is slightly different, this seems as good a location as
  any

A second, tree-wide patch also removes the use of the addprefix used
to refer to the main KVM code from the arch code, and replace it with
a KVM variable that does the same thing.

* From v2:
  - Fix silly bug breaking compilation on x86...
