Subject[PATCH v14 0/9] fw_cfg: add DMA operations & etc/vmcoreinfo support
Date
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).

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

Marc-André Lureau (9):
crash: export paddr_vmcoreinfo_note()
fw_cfg: add a public uapi header
fw_cfg: fix sparse warnings in fw_cfg_sel_endianness()
fw_cfg: fix sparse warnings with fw_cfg_file
fw_cfg: fix sparse warning reading FW_CFG_ID
fw_cfg: fix sparse warnings around FW_CFG_FILE_DIR read
fw_cfg: add DMA register
fw_cfg: write vmcoreinfo details
RFC: fw_cfg: do DMA read operation
