[Pkg-xen-devel] [PATCH 06/12] debian/rules: Add --host to tools configure target

Without this, we'll be building tools for the build machine, not the host
machine.

[Pkg-xen-devel] [PATCH 05/12] debian/rules: Combine shared Make args

The original author of debian/rules seemed to have planned to make use
of $(make_args_common), but never got to sharing combined values.  Since
some values are shareable, make use of the shared args.

[Pkg-xen-devel] [PATCH 02/12] debian/rules: Only install PV shim for supported architectures

UEFI is available on ARM64 devices, but presently there is no Xen
configuration for building the PV shim on ARM.  The install step needs
to match the build step, so modify the install step.

Take out a typo while at it.

If EFI isn't being built the files simply won't be there and the line
accomplishes nothing.  If EFI is added to a new platform this adds an
extra spot which breaks.

This reverts commit 8ff478af61fa8a87806a89bbd618cd9da2354302.

[Pkg-xen-devel] [PATCH 03/12] debian/rules: Fix binary shuffling script for cross-building

`ldd` doesn't work with cross-builds, so use `file` to detect scripts
and `strings | grep` for identifying linked libraries.

Script almost conforms to POSIX shell standard, so adjust to conform and
switch to /bin/sh.  Simplify pipe structure, do more work in parent
shell.

[Pkg-xen-devel] [PATCH 00/12] Bunch of patches for cross-compilatio + RP4

Initially out there as #965245.

I strongly prefer to build ARM64 packages on non-ARM systems.  Something
about my main build machine having twice the cores and twice the clock
speed.  As such after many builds I've managed to generate a set of
patches which appear to mostly function to get functioning cross-builds
of Xen.

These are NOT a 100% solution.  Some packaging hacks were needed.  In
particular ocaml-nox|ocaml-native-compilers is a major problem.
ocaml-nox cannot be used for cross-building.  Until ocaml-nox is fixed
the OCAML Xen bits are going to be problematic for cross-compilation.
I've worked around this to the degree possible, even though the resultant
package will have non-functioning OCAML bits replacements should drop-in.

Several of these can likely be squashed together. 1-2 are the two halves
of a bug. 3-4 are another pair, 3 is a genuine bug.  5-7 are another set.

Patch 12 is special, it has already been submitted to Xen for inclusion.
It is though *required* for functioning cross-compilation.

Patches 9-11 are already in Xen's 4.14 branch.  They are popular due to
the Raspberry PI 4's rather significant audience.  I imagine many people
using Debian on ARM highly desire them.

[Pkg-xen-devel] [PATCH 09/12] xen/arm: Allow a platform to override the DMA width

At the moment, Xen is assuming that all the devices are at least 32-bit
DMA capable. However, some SoC have devices that may be able to access
a much restricted range. For instance, the RPI has devices that can
only access the first 1GB of RAM.

The structure platform_desc is now extended to allow a platform to
override the DMA width. The new is used to implement
arch_get_dma_bit_size().

The prototype is now moved in asm-arm/mm.h as the function is not NUMA
specific. The implementation is done in platform.c so we don't have to
include platform.h everywhere. This should be fine as the function is
not expected to be called in hotpath.

I noticed that arch_get_dma_bit_size() is only called when there is more
than one NUMA node. I am a bit unsure what is the reason behind it.

The goal for Arm is to use arch_get_dma_bit_size() when deciding how low
the first Dom0 bank should be allocated.

[Pkg-xen-devel] [PATCH 10/12] xen/arm: Take into account the DMA width when allocating Dom0 memory banks

At the moment, Xen is assuming that all the devices are at least 32-bit
DMA capable. However, some SoCs have devices that may be able to access
a much restricted range. For instance, the Raspberry PI 4 has devices
that can only access the first GB of RAM.

The function arch_get_dma_bit_size() will return the lowest DMA width on
the platform. Use it to decide what is the limit for the low memory.

[Pkg-xen-devel] [PATCH 11/12] xen/arm: plat: Allocate as much as possible memory below 1GB for dom0 for RPI

The raspberry PI 4 has devices that can only DMA into the first GB of
the RAM. Therefore we want allocate as much as possible memory below 1GB
for dom0.

Use the recently introduced dma_bitsize field to specify the DMA width
supported.

[Pkg-xen-devel] irt: [PATCH 00/12] Bunch of patches for cross-compilatio + RP4

Taking the output of `git format-patch` and piping it to a mailer is a
potentially hazardous art.  If you don't /quite/ get things right you can
end up faking the sender of a message.

Please note the patches 9-11 were sent by me, though Julien Grall is the

Hah. :)

The git send-email program can do the actual emailing, and then it sets
all mail dates to the current time (so that the mails end up 00-12 if
you get them instead of in order of original commit date, which is now
9,10-11,5,6,2,etc). It will also put you as sender, and then add the
"From: Foo <foo at bar>" line as first in the email, which
causes it to be
put back as commit author when using git am.

e.g.

    git send-email --suppress-cc=all --dry-run 00*

You want the suppress-cc because otherwise you'll be causing mails to be
sent to Julian and everyone who has Reviewed-by etc lines in the
original commits.

Dry-run shows the smtp header stuff to verify.

Feel free to re-send.

Have fun,
Hans

Since the packaging is now forwarded to 4.14, it's a noop indeed.

I added this to my knorrie/4.14-extra branch. Note that that branch has
d/patches which is out of sync, it's just for stashing/preparing some
commits that are not in knorrie/4.14 yet.

This looks to me like it will fail if the files do not exist.  The
case was a way to work around this problem.  That is, I think the
shell will execute the command with literally a `*' and then mv will
complain.

We need a rune which doesn't fail if the file is absent.  But it
*should* fail if the file exists but the rename fails.
(Maybe we could do this with some debhelper thing instead.)

I don't understand.  The effect of your patch is to avoid running
make install-shim on armhf and arm64.

But on those platforms there is as you say no shim[1], so make
install-shim ought to do nothing.  We build armhf and arm64 on the
Debian buildds from the sources before your patch.

I'm not sure what the connection is between the PV shim and UEFI ?
These are separate concepts.

The PV shim is there to run PV guests in an HVM container, mostly for
Spectre reasons.  There is no shim for ARM because ARM does not have
HVM guests nor PV ones; it has only one type of guest which is roughly
like an x86 PVH guest.

How sad that ldd doesn't work.  I approve of the change to use file,
although maybe that should have a change to build-depends.  (Right now
it seems that debhelper depends on file so this is a theoretical bug
rather than a FTBFS-on-buildd issue.)

I'm sorry to say that I don't agree with this.  What made you think
there was anything undesirable about using bash in a build system ?

This, in particular, has quite adverse impacts on error handling.
Also you have reformatted the script.  Reformatting things is usually
to be discouraged.

Sorry,

See my previous comment.

Your argument here is "it's faster".  Have you done benchmarks ? 
I
suspect changing everything to sh probably takes off a few
milliseconds from a half-hour-long Xen package build.

(1) I'm not sure this does precisely the same thing as before
(2) even the amount of time I have just spent staring at it was

Doesn't this want to be in make-args-xen ?

That is, I think autoconf, configure, et al, ought to do this right
for the tools.  It is the hypervisor which needs this other kind of
cross-compilation.

[Pkg-xen-devel] [PATCH 08/12] debian/rules: Disable OCAML build when cross-building

Just to clarify this: the build-dependencies are satisfiable, so the
ocaml tools are installable, but they do not work ?

Can you refer us to a bug report about the ocaml problem ?  I think a
reference to that bug ought to go here in a comment.

\
You have this logic twice.

How about defining BUILD_OCAML_TOOLS as a make variable ?
> -	$(MAKE) $(make_args_tools) tools docs CONFIG_PV_SHIM=n
> +	$(MAKE) $(make_args_tools) tools docs CONFIG_PV_SHIM=n
OCAML_TOOLS=$(BUILD_OCAML_TOOLS)
Or something.  I don't care much about the variable name, but I do
care that the logic is in one place.

I don't understand this last part at all.  You're making oxenstored a
link to xl ?

Why is simply passing OCAML_TOOLS=n to the upstream build,
conditionally, not the right thing to do ?  ISTM that that would be a
lot simpler.

Wow, that is an upsteam commit from 2005.

However, I would like some kind of explanation.  Is it in fact now
false that
  | # These don't cross-compile
?

Should this patch go upstream ?

Yay, stuff is happening.

FTR, I just reverted knorrie/4.14 to 9625f122e8a and then added the
already accepted patches.

I also took out the 'commit patch queue' commit, and (while in q quest
to search for the best workflow/way to present a WIP branch to others to
base new patches on) pushed the branch without debrebase re-ordering
(which tears up patch sets and pushes all debian/* changes down) and
without the patch queue export.

So to build it for testing, refreshing debian/patches has to be done first.
