Thanks for the reply George. Is there any other easy way in the domU to
know if it's a pv or hvm with Xen 4.2+ and the right hardware?
 

Did you try dmidecode?

[CentOS-virt] Xen 4.4.1-rc1+ rebase

2014-07-07 Thread George Dunlap
I've got a first cut of the rebase here:

git://github.com/gwd/sig-virt-xen out/update-4.4.1-rc1-ee81dda-RFC

To build it, you'll need to download the polarssl tarball:

http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-extfiles/polarssl-1.1.4-gpl.tgz

And you'll need a tarball based on (unfortunately) a private tree,
which you can find here:

git://github.com/gwd/xen base/update-4.4.1-rc1-ee81dda-RFC

This branch is based on upstream ee81dda (the current staging-4.4),
with an additional two backported commits.

To reproduce the tarball, checkout the above branch, then:

./configure
make -C tools qemu-xen-dir-find
make -C tools qemu-xen-traditional-find
make src-tarball

A couple of notes:

* I haven't actually had time to test this yet!  This is just so we're
not totally duplicating work...
* This does not have XSA-100 in it yet, so it's not quite ready for release.

Actually, it turns out it *does* have XSA-100; and it seems to install
over xen4centos xen-4.2.4 just fine.  (Although I accidentally built
it in an environment with ocaml installed, so my RPM required me to
install ocaml... I expect that will be fine built in a normal
environment).

*sigh*  This is wrong.  It should be:

tools/misc/mktarball $PWD

If you do the above command, you'll end up with a release-looking
tarball, rather than one with the git commit ID in the name.

Also NB, two things:

* The src-tarball build target (and the mktarball script) is not
available in the normal 4.4 tree; it's a draft of a bit of
functionality I'm in the process if pushing upstream.  It may or may
not end up backported to 4.4.1.
* If you've already cloned the qemu trees, you need to run make -C
tools qemu-xen-dir-force-update instead.
