Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-arm-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
Features:
* Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests
on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions). 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:
