Why? This will only disable xenconsole changes and not the hypervisor. The changes are quite tiny, so I would even be in favor of enabling for all architectures. Or are you suggesting to disable the VPL011 emulation in the hypervisor? But I don't see the emulation AArch64 specific, and a user could disable it if he doesn't want it... Cheers,

I was thinking that the virtual pl011 is mostly useful for SBSA compliance, which doesn't really apply to ARM32 (there are no ARM32 SBSA compliant platforms as far as I am aware). Given that we don't need vpl011 on ARM32, I thought we might as well disable it. Less code the better. I wouldn't go as far as introducing more #ifdefs to disable it, but I would make use of the existing config options to turn it off by default on ARM32. Does it make sense? That said, you are right that there is no point in disabling only CONFIG_VUART_CONSOLE, which affects the tools only. We should really disable SBSA_VUART_CONSOLE by default on ARM32. In fact, ideally CONFIG_VUART_CONSOLE would be set dependning on the value of SBSA_VUART_CONSOLE. What do you think?
Hi Stefano, Can we make CONFIG_VUART_CONSOLE dependent on CONFIG_SBSA_VUART_CONSOLE? CONFIG_SBSA_VUART_CONSOLE is a Kconfig option while CONFIG_VUART_CONSOLE is an option defined in the .mk file which is used while compiling the toolstack. So if I try to do something like this in arm64.mk/arm32.mk file, I am not sure if CONFIG_SBSA_VUART_CONSOLE definition will be available (since .config would not be generated) if I have not compiled Xen hypervisor code first: ifeq ($(CONFIG_SBSA_VUART_CONSOLE),y) CONFIG_VUART_CONSOLE := y endif Regards, Bhupinder On 22 July 2017 at 01:14, Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@kernel.org> wrote: > On Fri, 21 Jul 2017, Julien Grall wrote: >> Hi, >> >> On 18/07/17 21:07, Stefano Stabellini wrote: >> > On Mon, 17 Jul 2017, Bhupinder Thakur wrote: >> > > This patch finally adds the support for vuart console.

Kconfig is only targeting the hypervisor and this is the tools. It is possible to build the tools separately from the hypervisor and therefore .config would not be generated. Therefore your suggestion cannot work at the moment. However, imposing an #ifdef to require some work to support correctly for 29 lines does not seem very warrant. So I think we should keep on by default. Cheers,

It's incredible this problem hasn't been solved yet.

Hi Bhupinder, Thanks for trying, and I would have done the same thing as you did: ifeq ($(CONFIG_SBSA_VUART_CONSOLE),y) CONFIG_VUART_CONSOLE := y endif However, we don't want to introduce a dependency between "make tools" and "make xen", meaning that one should be able to do "make tools" successfully even without having done "make xen" before. I think this is a generic tools building issue that will need to be fixed, probably by always generating the xen .config, even when building tools. But I don't think it's fair to ask you to do it as part of this series. So feel free to disregard my little request for now and always set CONFIG_VUART_CONSOLE := y.

It adds two new fields in the console initialization: - optional - prefer_gnttab optional flag tells whether the console is optional. prefer_gnttab tells whether the ring buffer should be allocated using grant table.
