[PATCH 1/3] hw/acpi: Build IPMI stubs when ACPI is disabled

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

When ACPI is disabled, no ACPI code depends on IPMI,
so we don't need the stubs.

We need them when IPMI is enabled and ACPI disabled,
otherwise when using '--without-default-devices' we
get:

  Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
    "_build_ipmi_dev_aml", referenced from:
        _isa_ipmi_bt_class_init in hw_ipmi_isa_ipmi_bt.c.o
  ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

Split the source set list to avoid a too long line.

[PATCH 2/3] hw/ppc: PowerNV machines expose a I2C bus

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Since commit 263b81ee15a, PowerNV machines instanciate
a I2C controller, so expose a I2C bus. Express that in
Kconfig, otherwise we get a configure error when trying
to use '--without-default-devices':

  The following clauses were found for PCA9552
      config PCA9552 depends on I2C
      select PCA9552 if POWERNV

[PATCH 3/3] hw/ppc: Add stub for pnv_chip_find_core()

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Since commit 9808ce6d5cb, building QEMU configured with
'--without-default-devices' fails:

  Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
    "_pnv_chip_find_core", referenced from:
        _helper_load_sprd in target_ppc_misc_helper.c.o

Fix by adding a stub when CONFIG_POWERNV is not available.

The fix would be to add an abstract handler to implement SPRD accesses
on the PowerNV machine.

I don't know what "SPRD" is so I'll let someone more familiar with
this area do the proper cleanup.

While you're at it, I think acpi_interface.c is always needed (it's also 
added earlier in this file already when CONFIG_ACPI is enabled), so I think 
this should rather go to a separate "system_ss.add(...)" line?

Or maybe it could rather get removed from the list here? ... it does not 
look like it's really needed for the build at a quick glance...

Is this what you meant by an abstract handler ?
https://github.com/adi-g15-ibm/qemu/commit/0abac37032a5ef66d64a649ce04f24876bf9007d


The thing done, is just to introduce a function pointer in 
'PowerPCCPUClass',
namely 'handle_sprd_store' and 'handle_sprd_load'


These will be set in the PNV chip realize path, so now the SPRD code in
target/ppc, will only call this for PowerNV.

Separated the powernv specific code, so target/ppc code doesn't depend
on pnv calls now.


Not well tested, will try somethings.

Aditya Gupta

About the change, we will post a patch-set soon with the suggested 
change by Cedric.

I was on vacation past week, so couldn't see the mails.
