Subject: [Qemu-devel] [RFC v2 0/7] machvirt dynamic sysbus device instantiation
Date: Fri,  8 Aug 2014 16:03:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1407510229-28167-1-git-send-email-eric.auger@linaro.org> (raw)

This RFC enables machvirt to dynamically instantiate sysbus devices
from command line.

the RFC originates from Alex Graf's work
- "Dynamic sysbus device allocation support"
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-ppc/2014-07/msg00047.html

The code related to dynamic sysbus device IRQ and mmio region binding
and device tree node generation, originally developped in PPC e500.c,
is moved into 2 new modules:

- hw/misc/dyn_sysbus_binding (IRQ and MMIO binding)
- hw/arm/dyn_sysbus_devtree  (dt node generation)

This makes possible to reuse it for ARM/machvirt.

Both e500 and machvirt are adapted to use those helper routines.

This RFC applies onto "sysbus: Make devices spawnable via -device"
https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg244394.html.

integrated branch can be found on
git://git.linaro.org/people/eric.auger/qemu.git,
branch dyn-sysbus-v2-integ

A related discussion can be found at
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-07/msg04065.html

For e500 the device tree generation is kept in the machine file,
according to Alex will.

For machvirt we use dyn_sysbus_devtree since the code becomes large
with the expected support of vfio devices.

Best Regards
Eric

v1 -> v2:
- device node generation no more in sysbus device but in
  dyn_sysbus_devtree
- VFIO region shrinked to 4MB and relocated in machvirt to avoid PCI
  shrink (dynamic vfio-mmio support might come latter)
- platform_bus_base removed from PlatformDevtreeData
