similar to: ANNOUNCE: centos-release-xen to switch to newer xen

Greeting, We are about to update the centos-release-xen package to point to Xen 4.8 rather than 4.6. I'll push the update next week. As a reminder, you can "pin" your installation to Xen 4.6 by installing centos-release-xen-46 and then removing centos-release-xen. And for the more adventurous, that update will come with a new package centos-release-xen-410 to install Xen 4.10.

Commit 86781624 ("x86_emulate: PUSH <mem> must read source operand just once") corrected the operands of those of the operations of opcode extension group 5 that only read memory from SrcMem to DstMem, but failed to also switch the use of "dst" here to "src".

Coding style has recently been changed for libxl. The convenience macro LOG() has been introduced, and invocations of the old macro LIBXL__LOG() are to be replaced with it. Change occurences of the old macro to the new one in the functions qmp_handle_response() and qmp_handle_error_response(). The new macros need access to a local libxl__gc *gc, so add it as a parameter to both these functions,

This patch series provides the facility to eject and insert a cdrom when the used device-model is qemu-xen. The only difference between both device-model is a call to a QMP command as `xl cd-insert ...` will still update xenstore, even if it''s not used by QEMU. Anthony PERARD (3): libxl_qmp, Introduce libxl__qmp_insert_cdrom. libxl_dm: Set an id to cdrom drives with qemuu. libxl:

This moves the xen_modified_memory call from cpu_physical_memory_map to cpu_physical_memory_unmap because the memory could be migrated before the device model have written to it. But because we need to know the guest address and to avoid rewriting a new function, the call is moved to qemu_invalidate_entry. So this later has to new parameters, the length of the mapping and if it was a write.

When read() return 0, the current code just tries again. But this leads to an infinite loop if QEMU died too soon. Also, retry select if a signal was caught.

Hi Thanks for providing updated Packages, they are much appreciated. At work, we are currently running an entire production infrastructure on Xen4CentOS, with quite some success. We are looking into a refresh towards CentOS 7 along with newer Xen and Dom0 Kernel packages. However, even the updated packages are quite old. Xen 4.8 is out of active support since June and will see the end of

Hi, Here is a little patch that attempt to fix the issue regarding xen_platform_pci=0 not been handled. There is one patch left from the previous version. The patch that was adding qemu_machine_override have been removed as it is unnecessary. If someone wants to change the -machine, it can always add it to device_model_args_hvm, as QEMU appear to use the last one. Regards, Anthony PERARD (1):
