We currently blindly accept any numeric value as a GIC version, even thought only GIC v2 and GIC v3 actually exist; on the other hand, we reject "host", which is a perfectly legitimate value for QEMU guests. This new enumeration contains all GIC versions libvirt is aware of. --- src/Makefile.am | 1 + src/util/virgic.c | 33 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/util/virgic.h | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 72 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/util/virgic.c create mode 100644 src/util/virgic.h Seems a bit overkill to give this its own util/ file, but I assume this may grow extra host probing bits in the future?
That might or might not be the case, as I mentioned in the cover letter: it mostly depends on whether we end up probing for supported GIC versions ourselves (in which case the code would neatly fit here) or rely on QEMU. I can move this to device_conf.h and take it out later if we add more GIC-related stuff, or leave it here and move it later. Having two files just for an enumeration does indeed look a bit silly; then again device_conf.h is a huge beast at 3000 lines long. Also, at some point we will need to expose information about GIC in the capabilites or domcapabilities XML, and conf/ will not be a great fit anymore either. Looking forward to your input on this :) Cheers. -- Andrea Bolognani Software Engineer - Virtualization Team
