[RFC PATCH 2/2] ARM: virt: Add assembler helpers for the Virtualization Extensions

Dave Martin dave.martin at linaro.org
Tue Feb 28 13:59:46 EST 2012


For the benefit of hypervisor implementations such as kvm, Xen
etc., this patch adds support for generating code to use the CPU
virtualization extensions.  This allows hypervisor calls to be
inlined without changing the CFLAGS for the whole kernel, as well
as supporting older binutils.
