This patchset moves start_info_t creation to Linux by adding fields to the flat devtree that Linux uses to create a start_info_t.
Patch1: move_shared_page_definition_to_public_header.patch: Now that libxc is responsible for populating the devtree with the address of the console and store pages we need to expose the contract between the hypervisor and libxc. The first patch moves shared page location variables into a public header (arch-powerpc.h). Patch2: add_start_info_to_devtree.patch This patch is described here[1]. Changes since the previous post include: - move address calculation out from make_devtree() into the caller (libxc in this case) as this code will be re-used in the hypervisor for constructing dom0's flat devtree. - conditionally reserve each shared page if a valid address is passed - conditionally include nodes /xen/console, /xen/store if valid addresses are provided - use machine address in flat devtree, Linux converts to "mfn" in early setup as needed for start_info_t Patch3: linux_create_start_info_t.patch Previous description here[2]. - convert store and console machine address to "mfns" for start_info_t Patch4: sync_ppc_with_unstable_for_start_info_t.patch No changes. 1. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-ppc-devel/2007-01/msg00188.html 2. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-ppc-devel/2007-01/msg00190.html -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology Center IBM Corp., Austin, Tx (512) 838-9253 T/L: 678-9253 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Xen-ppc-devel mailing list Xen-ppc-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-ppc-devel
