PV console, block and network frontend/backends are working. Bug-fixes: * Fix compile linux-next fallout. * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing. The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports ARMv7 platforms. The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os (network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen drivers and infrastructure. Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the overall architecture: http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2012/09/21/xensummit-sessions-new-pvh-virtualisation-mode-for-arm-cortex-a15arm-servers-and-x86/ * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-arm-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: (21 commits) xen/xen_initial_domain: check that xen_start_info is initialized xen: mark xen_init_IRQ __init xen/Makefile: fix dom-y build arm: introduce a DTS for Xen unprivileged virtual machines MAINTAINERS: add myself as Xen ARM maintainer xen/arm: compile netback xen/arm: compile blkfront and blkback xen/arm: implement alloc/free_xenballooned_pages with alloc_pages/kfree xen/arm: receive Xen events on ARM xen/arm: initialize grant_table on ARM xen/arm: get privilege status xen/arm: introduce CONFIG_XEN on ARM xen: do not compile manage, balloon, pci, acpi, pcpu and cpu_hotplug on ARM xen/arm: Introduce xen_ulong_t for unsigned long xen/arm: Xen detection and shared_info page mapping docs: Xen ARM DT bindings xen/arm: empty implementation of grant_table arch specific functions xen/arm: sync_bitops xen/arm: page.h definitions xen/arm: hypercalls ...		2012-10-07 07:13:01 +09:00
