Xen devel - Jul 2010 - Request integration of unstable changes into testing to enable gdbsx.

Ian,

These changes have been in unstable for a while now I was hoping that they
could be pulled into the testing branch.
I think these are all the changes needed to enable gdbsx in the default
build.

Tools/Makefile:

21752 (29e545151078) tools/debugger/gdbsx: build enabled by default
21788 (8429a8a23241) tools/debugger/gdbsx: enabled by only x86
21830 (6279786d48f2) gdbsx: Implement missing Makefile rules.

tools/debugger/gdbsx

20319 (de04fe4e472c) gdbsx: a gdbserver stub for xen.
20333 (24dd0e4261a8) gdbsx: malloc extra bye for null char
21806 (bb3b28cb7208) gdbsx: update README and remove space in q packet

#ifdef XEN_GDBSX_CONFIG changes

21702 (2846fd19945c) gdbsx: Always build -- remove build-time config option.

Note, I have not tested a actual build with these changes. I''m new at
hg and
haven''t figured out how to pull changes from another branch into my
workspace.
I know this is not the place for it, but if someone could give me a hint,
I''ll verify that the above works.

Thanks

-Bruce

The way I would do it is like this:
  cd xen-4.0-testing.hg
  (cd ../xen-unstable.hg && hg export -r 29e545151078) | patch -Up1

That would be great.  If it doesn''t break the build then I would be
happy to have these changes in 4.0-testing.

Ian.

My hg has no -r opt. Is this an extension?

I assume I can apply them one at a time instead?

29e545151078 doesn''t apply cleanly, there are other changes in
xen-4.0-testing.hg/tools/Makefile.

I can easily fix the patch rejects, but how does one resubmit these to hg?
Again, sorry, this is not an hg support forum, I know.
If someone could direct me to the applicable docs I''d be happy to rtfm.
(there''s just a _lot_ of info on hg)

I misremembered the syntax; mine doesn''t either.  I meant:

     cd xen-4.0-testing.hg
     (cd ../xen-unstable.hg && hg export 29e545151078) | patch -Up1
> I assume I can apply them one at a time instead?
The rune above applies one patch at a time.  You run it once for each
patch, and then do your build test.  If they don''t apply cleanly
you''ll need to do something more complicated as we''d
appreciate a
ready, rebased, patch series to test and apply.

Urgh.

When it gets like this, I use git.  I juse "hg-fast-export.sh" to
convert xen-unstable.hg to xen-unstable.git and then do my work with
git.

That''s OK.  Perhaps someone else has a better answer.

Ian.
