Hi,
This series adds DMA operations support to the qemu fw_cfg kernel module and populates "etc/vmcoreinfo" with vmcoreinfo location details (entry added since qemu 2.11 with -device vmcoreinfo).
v15: - fix fw_cfg.h uapi header #include - use BSD license for fw_cfg.h uapi header - move the uapi defines/structs for DMA & vmcoreinfo in the corresponding patch - use cpu_relax() instead of usleep_range(50, 100); - replace do { } while(true) by for (;;) - fix the rmb() call location - add a preliminary patch to handle error from fw_cfg_write_blob() - rewrite fw_cfg_sel_endianness() to wrap iowrite() calls
v14: - add "fw_cfg: add a public uapi header" - fix sparse warnings & don't introduce new warnings - add memory barriers to force IO ordering - split fw_cfg_read_blob() in fw_cfg_read_blob_io() and fw_cfg_read_blob_dma() - add error handling to fw_cfg_read_blob() callers - minor stylistic changes
v13: - reorder patch series, introduce DMA write before DMA read - do some measurements of DMA read speed-ups
v12: - fix virt_to_phys(NULL) panic with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y - do not use DMA read, except for kmalloc() memory we allocated ourself (only fw_cfg_register_dir_entries() so far)
v11: - add #include <linux/crash_core.h> in last patch, fixing kbuild .config test
