Subject: [PATCH] arm: document "mach-virt" platform.
Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2014 16:11:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1391098262-15944-1-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)
mach-virt has existed for a while but it is not written down what it actually
consists of. Although it seems a bit unusual to document a binding for an
entire platform since mach-virt is entirely virtual it is helpful to have
something to refer to in the absence of a single concrete implementation.
I've done my best to capture the requirements based on the git log and my
memory/understanding.
While here remove the xenvm dts example, the Xen tools will now build a
suitable mach-virt compatible dts when launching the guest.

I'm not sure which tree this sort of thing should go though, sorry for the
huge Cc.

+* Mach-virt "Dummy Virtual Machine" platform
+
+"mach-virt" is the smallest, dumbest platform possible, to be used as
+a guest for Xen, KVM and other hypervisors. It has no
+properties/functionality of its own and is driven entirely by device
+tree.
+
+This document defines the requirements for such a platform.
+
+* Required properties:
+
+- compatible: should be one of:
+ "linux,dummy-virt"
+ "xen,xenvm"
+
+In addition to the standard nodes (chosen, cpus, memory etc) the
+platform is required to provide certain other basic functionality
+which must be described in the device tree:
+
+ The platform must provide an ARM Generic Interrupt Controller
+ (GIC), defined in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/gic.txt.
+
+ The platform must provide ARM architected timer, defined in
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/arch_timer.txt.
+
+ If the platform is SMP then it must provide the Power State
+ Coordination Interface (PSCI) described in
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/psci.txt.
+
+The platform may also provide hypervisor specific functionality
+(e.g. PV I/O), if it does so then this functionality must be
+discoverable (directly or indirectly) via device tree.
