Subject: [PATCH] x86: Xen PV guests don't have the rtc_cmos platform device
Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2015 09:32:49 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449671569-4540-1-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> (raw)
Adding the rtc platform device in a Xen PV guests causes an IRQ
conflict because these guests do not have a legacy PIC.
In a single VCPU Xen PV guest we should have:
/proc/interrupts:
CPU0
0: 4934 xen-percpu-virq timer0
1: 0 xen-percpu-ipi spinlock0
2: 0 xen-percpu-ipi resched0
3: 0 xen-percpu-ipi callfunc0
4: 0 xen-percpu-virq debug0
5: 0 xen-percpu-ipi callfuncsingle0
6: 0 xen-percpu-ipi irqwork0
7: 321 xen-dyn-event xenbus
8: 90 xen-dyn-event hvc_console
...
But hvc_console cannot get its interrupt because it is already in use
by rtc0 and the console does not work.
genirq: Flags mismatch irq 8. 00000000 (hvc_console) vs. 00000000 (rtc0)
So don't add the rtc_cmos device in Xen PV guests. (In fact, don't add
it to any paravirt_enabled() guest since lguest is also unable to probe
this device)
