2012-05-22virtio-mmio: Devices parameter parsingPawel Moll1-0/+163
This patch adds an option to instantiate guest virtio-mmio devices basing on a kernel command line (or module) parameter, for example: virtio_mmio.devices=0x100@0x100b0000:48 Signed-off-by: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-01-12virtio: harsher barriers for rpmsg.Rusty Russell1-2/+2
We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the real device ones. That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU). Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci. In particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to 14%. By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

2011-11-17enable virtio_net to return bus_info in ethtool -i consistent with emulated NICsRick Jones1-0/+6
Add a new .bus_name to virtio_config_ops then modify virtio_net to call through to it in an ethtool .get_drvinfo routine to report bus_info in ethtool -i output which is consistent with other emulated NICs and the output of lspci.

2011-11-02virtio: Add platform bus driver for memory mapped virtio devicePawel Moll1-0/+479
This patch, based on virtio PCI driver, adds support for memory mapped (platform) virtio device. This should allow environments like qemu to use virtio-based block & network devices even on platforms without PCI support. One can define and register a platform device which resources will describe memory mapped control registers and "mailbox" interrupt. Such device can be also instantiated using the Device Tree node with compatible property equal "virtio,mmio".
