[vijay . kilari]

From: Vijaya Kumar K <address@hidden>

This series introduces support for GICv3 live migration with
new VGIC implementation in 4.7-rc3 kernel.
In this series, patch 1 of the previous implementation
are ported.

Latest kernel patches
https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg558046.html

This API definition is as per version of VGICv3 specification
in linux kernel Documentation/virtual/kvm/devices/arm-vgic-v3.txt

Tested Live migration of Idle VM running with 4 VCPUs and 8GB RAM.

v6 => v7:
 - Rebased on top of v2.8.0-rc4 release.
 - Added patch to add icc_ctrl_el1 to vmstruct before live migration
   patch.
 - Added patch to add gicv3state variable to CPUARMState struct to
   store GICv3CPUState pointer.
 - Added patch to register ARMCPRegInfo[] struct and reset on CPU reset.

v5 => v6:
 - Added separate patch for Reseting ICC* register
 - Added seperate patch for save and restore of ICC_CTLR_EL1
 - Dropped translate_fn mechanism and coded open functions
   for edge_trigger and priority save and restore.
 - Save and Restore APnR registers based on ICC_CTLR_EL1.PRIBITS

v4 => v5:
 - Initialized ICC registers before reset.

v3 => v4:
 - Reintroduced offset GICR_SGI_OFFSET
 - Implement save and restore of ICC_SRE_EL1
 - Updated kvm.h header file in sync with KVM v4 patches

v2 => v3:
 - Dropped offset GICR_SGI_OFFSET
 - Implement save/restore of irq line level using
   KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_LEVEL_INFO
 - Fixed bug with save/restore of edge_trigger
