[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 0/7] Emulate virtual UART for DOM0 and some UART clean up

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This third version of this patch series. It follows the thread
http://patches.linaro.org/18358/ on Linux mailing list.

In some configuration, the kernel can use hardcoded code to access to the
UART (for instance early printk). If Xen has stolen the UART for its own use,
DOM0 will abort because Xen has not mapped to DOM0 the UART memory.

With this patch series, Xen will "replace" the real UART by a basic virtual
UART for DOM0.

For the moment, this patch series is not able to cooperate with early printk
in guest kernel.

This patch series also contains clean up for the pl011 and exynos4210 drivers.

For all the changes see the different patches.

Julien Grall (7):
  pl011: Move registers' definition in a separate file
  xen/arm: Use define instead of hardcoded value in debug-pl011
  xen/arm: New callback in uart_driver to retrieve serial information
  xen/arm: Implement a virtual UART
  exynos4210: rename UTRSTAT_TX_EMPTY in UTRSTAT_TXFE
  exynos4210: Implement vuart_info callback
  pl011: Implement vuart_info callback
