The second part of the work is currently awaiting other re-factoring and build work to go in to make the building of a pure-Xen capable QEMU easier. As that might take some time and these patches are essentially ready I thought I'd best push for merging them. There are no fundamental changes since the last revision. I've addressed most of the comments although I haven't expanded the use of the global *fdt to other device models. I figured that work could be done as and when models have support for type-1 hypervisors. I have added some documentation to describe the feature and added an acceptance tests which checks the various versions of Xen can boot. The only minor wrinkle is using a custom compiled Linux kernel due to missing support in the distro kernels. If anyone can suggest a distro which is currently well supported for Xen on AArch64 I can update the test. The following patches still need review: - tests/avocado: add boot_xen tests - docs: add some documentation for the guest-loader - docs: move generic-loader documentation into the main manual - hw/core: implement a guest-loader to support static hypervisor guests Alex Bennée (7): hw/board: promote fdt from ARM VirtMachineState to MachineState hw/riscv: migrate fdt field to generic MachineState device_tree: add qemu_fdt_setprop_string_array helper hw/core: implement a guest-loader to support static hypervisor guests docs: move generic-loader documentation into the main manual docs: add some documentation for the guest-loader tests/avocado: add boot_xen tests docs/generic-loader.txt | 92 --------- docs/system/generic-loader.rst | 117 +++++++++++ docs/system/guest-loader.rst | 54 +++++ docs/system/index.rst | 2 + hw/core/guest-loader.h | 34 ++++ include/hw/arm/virt.h | 1 - include/hw/boards.h | 1 + include/hw/riscv/virt.h | 1 - include/sysemu/device_tree.h | 17 ++ hw/arm/virt.c | 356 +++++++++++++++++---------------- hw/core/guest-loader.c | 145 ++++++++++++++ hw/riscv/virt.c | 20 +- softmmu/device_tree.c | 26 +++ MAINTAINERS | 9 +- hw/core/meson.build | 2 + tests/acceptance/boot_xen.py | 117 +++++++++++ 16 files changed, 718 insertions(+), 276 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 docs/generic-loader.txt create mode 100644 docs/system/generic-loader.rst create mode 100644 docs/system/guest-loader.rst create mode 100644 hw/core/guest-loader.h create mode 100644 hw/core/guest-loader.c create mode 100644 tests/acceptance/boot_xen.py -- 2.20.1
