Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] KVM: arm/arm64: Allow to use KVM without in-kernel irqchip
Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2015 13:53:56 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1438770954.git.p.fedin@samsung.com> (raw)
This patch set brings back functionality which was broken in v4.0.
Unfortunately because of restrictions of such a hardware is is impossible
to take advantage of virtual architected timer, therefore guest, running
in such restricted mode, has to use some memory-mapped timer. But it is
still better than nothing.
v2 => v3:
- Improved commit messages, added references to commits where the respective
functionality was broken
- Explicitly specify that the solution currently affects only vGIC and has
nothing to do with timer.
- Fixed code style according to previous notes
- Removed ARM64 save/restore patch introduced in v2 because it was already
obsolete for linux-next
- Modify KVM_CAP_IRQFD handling in correct place
v1 => v2:
- Do not use defensive approach in patch 0001. Use correct conditions in
callers instead
- Added ARM64-specific code, without which attempt to run a VM ends in a
HYP crash because of unset vGIC save/restore function pointers
Pavel Fedin (3):
Fix NULL pointer dereference if KVM is used without in-kernel irqchip
Detect vGIC presence at runtime
Make KVM_CAP_IRQFD dependent on KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP
