[PATCH 00/24] Introduce Xen support on ARM

From: Stefano Stabellini
Date: Thu Jul 26 2012 - 11:34:16 EST


Hi all,
this patch series implements Xen support for ARMv7 with virtualization
extensions. It allows a Linux guest to boot as dom0 and
as domU on Xen on ARM. PV console, disk and network frontends and
backends are all working correctly.

It has been tested on a Versatile Express Cortex A15 emulator, using the
latest Xen, and a simple ad-hoc tool to build guest domains
(marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=134089788016546).

The patch marked with [HACK] shouldn't be applied and is part of the
series only because it is needed to create domUs.

I am also attaching to this email the dts'es that I am currently using
for dom0 and domU: vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1.dts is the dts used for dom0
and it is passed to Linux by Xen, while vexpress-virt.dts is the dts
used for other domUs and it is appended in binary form to the guest
kernel image. I am not sure where they are supposed to live yet, so I am
just attaching them here so that people can actually try out this series
if they want to.

Comments are very welcome!
