Xen devel - Dec 2010 - Making a hypercall in DomU

Hi,

I have *implemented a new hypercall* and it is working fine when tested from
the Dom0 user-space. I want to invoke this hypercall from DomU user-space.

I copied all the /usr/lib/libxen* and /usr/include/xen* (recursively) to the
DomU

Here''s the code I wrote to invoke hypercall:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <xenctrl.h>

int main(void){

        int xc_handle, rc;

        xc_handle = xc_interface_open();

        printf("\n Opened Interface: %d",xc_handle);

        rc = vb_notify(xc_handle);                       ---- Is a function
implemented in libxc/ which has the hypercall invocation code

        printf("\n vb_notify returned: %d", rc);

        xc_interface_close(xc_handle);

        return rc;
}


When I try to compile the program which contains the hypercall I am getting
error as:

#gcc -lxenctrl notify.c -o Notify
#gcc: error trying to exec ''cc1'': execvp: No such file or
directory

Same thing works fine from Dom0. Is my approach correct?

Your domU toolchain seems to be broken, you are missing the cc1 binary
which is an integral (internal) part of gcc. This has nothing particular
to do with Xen.
