Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] ARM: KVM: Moving GIC/timer out of arch/arm
Date: Fri, 3 May 2013 15:02:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1367589773-5609-1-git-send-email-marc.zyngier@arm.com> (raw)
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
Once the code has been moved, it becomes easy to build it in a
less hackish way, which makes the code easily reusable by KVM/arm64.
