[Qemu-devel] [virtio-dev][RFC 0/2] Signal Distribution Module virtio device specification |

Hi all,
This patch series proposes the specification of a new virtio device on which we
are working on, namely the Signal Distribution Module (SDM).
The SDM routes inter-processor signals intra and inter QEMU
instances, using a user-defined communication channel. At the current state the
SDM provides a local channel, for intra-QEMU signals, and a channel based on
sockets (UNIX or TCP) to exchange signals between processors in different
instances of QEMU. Each communication channel exports a common interface for
the sake of ease of extension and integration of new channels.
In addition to the virtio version, a platform device version is available as
well to be used for cases where a processor is not running Linux but another
OS/firmware that does not support virtio.
This patch is related to :
[Qemu-devel][RFC v3 0/6] SDM Interface
where you can find the latest RFC patch set for the QEMU code of the virtio SDM
device.
Kernel code is publicly accessible from:
https://git.virtualopensystems.com/dev/qemu-het-tools
branch sdm_test_virtio_mod_v2.
QEMU code is accessible from:
https://git.virtualopensystems.com/dev/qemu-het-tools
branch sdm-dev-v3
Thanks,
Christian
