charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This series adds guest-side drivers for the Bao static-partitioning hypervisor: an IPC shared-memory driver and an I/O dispatcher, plus their device-tree bindings, UAPI and MAINTAINERS entry. Bao is a lightweight static-partitioning hypervisor for embedded and safety-critical systems. - The IPC shared-memory driver lets Bao guests exchange data through a shared-memory region split into a read and a write channel. - The I/O dispatcher lets a backend guest service paravirtualised (VirtIO) I/O on behalf of frontend guests. Sent as RFC: the RISC-V backend uses the SBI experimental extension space (see "Open items" below), and the device-tree bindings were reworked in this version and would benefit from another look. ## Changes since v2 - dt-bindings (ipcshmem): describe the two channels through reg/reg-names, drop read-channel/write-channel and the "id" property, use a vendor "bao,id", and use a generic node name (Krzysztof Kozlowski). - dt-bindings (io-dispatcher): one node per backend device (single reg + interrupt) instead of one node describing many devices, modelled on the gunyah/Mediatek Genio bindings (Krzysztof Kozlowski). - io dispatcher driver: one platform device per device model (/dev/bao-dmX); removed the global DM list, the anonymous-inode fd and the dispatcher indirection ioctl; fixed a leak and probe error-path bugs; initialise virtio_requests_lock and the hypercall context fields. - ipcshmem driver: derive the two regions from reg; drop the success print; do the range arithmetic in u64. - Kconfig: fix the help-text indentation (Randy Dunlap). - style: unwrap the few-char line wraps; the IPC hypercall helper now takes a single argument and fits on one line (Andrew Jones). - riscv: use BAO_SBI_EXT_ID consistently, document that it is in the SBI experimental extension space, and drop the redundant ecall input constraints (Andrew Jones). - commit messages: rewritten to kernel style; the "consolidate the IPC hypercall ID" patch now explains why and covers the signature change (Greg KH). - process: sent as a fresh thread with this changelog, and the mail setup that bounced v1/v2 is fixed (Krzysztof Kozlowski, Greg KH). ## Open items / still under discussion - RISC-V uses the experimental SBI extension ID (0x08000ba0). A permanent implementation ID must be registered in the RISC-V SBI spec before RISC-V can be non-experimental; hence RFC. - Whether the Remote I/O hypercall must follow SBI chapter-3 register rules (Andrew Jones) — see the reply on patch 4. - The "bao,id" property and the "bao" vendor prefix (Krzysztof Kozlowski) — rationale is in the bindings; alternatives welcome.
