Is it just me, or is the INSTALL_DIR definition in the Makefile
completely bogus?

make install-kernels

fails on:

cp -a install -d -m0755/boot/* /boot/

Changing INSTALL_DIR to the earlier definition fixed it for me.

Grrr. It's totally bogus. Hopefully now fixed in 2.0-testing.

Am I mistaken, or didn't this used to build, even if you don't have
latex and such things that are needed to build the documentation?  It's
not a big deal to install it, but was this change intentional, or is it
preferred that things like this not cause a build failure?

Yes, indeed it did. I actually have now fixed it again as part of my
re-sanitisation of the build system earlier today. I hope the build
system will now be left alone. ;-)

Let me know if you have the same problem even with the latest patch.

The previous build failure when latex not installed seems to have been
fixed.  However the patch from yesterday to create symlinks to the
kernels in /boot is circumvented now that the files aren't copied from
dist/install/* as before.

-install-kernels:
-	cp -a $(DESTDIR)/boot/* /boot/
-	cp -a $(DESTDIR)/lib/modules/* /lib/modules/
-	cp -dR $(DESTDIR)/boot/*$(LINUX_VER)* $(prefix)/boot/
-	cp -dR $(DESTDIR)/lib/modules/* $(prefix)/lib/modules/

I can easily work around this by doing make dist and calling install.sh
manually, but if anyone wanted the symlinks to be created when doing a
make install, that won't happen anymore.

Some of the recent build system 'cleanups' were broken. I've just done
some testing and sanitisation.

Re: 2.0-testing.bk

What changeset should we be up to? I'm currently running 1.1666 which
you committed yesterday evening.

Frustrated that xm save for freebsd would give me:
(XEN) DOM0: (file=memory.c, line=425) Non-privileged attempt to map I/O
space 00000000

I tried 'xm save 0 foo' - which I'm not sure should be allowed - and
saw the following:

Why does xen think that an unprivileged guest has a reference to address
0 with the valid bit set?

Probably some structure not set up correctly -- my guess might be the
phys-to-machine mapping info that is supposed to get poked into the
shared_info page by the unprivileged guest. It is a list of the page
frames that make up the guest's p2m table. If you haven't init'ed it
then the xm_save tool will probably try to map NULL and hence the
error (Xen has low 1MB of memory marked as being an I/O page).

There should be a safety catch on this. DOM0 is definitely not
saveable!

Thanks. I'll look there. I assumed it was looking at the page tables
themselves (which shouldn't be a problem because xen shouldn't allow it
in the first place.

I would think not - but it doesn't appear to realize that ;-).

Thanks. I added the following:
    HYPERVISOR_shared_info->arch.pfn_to_mfn_frame_list = (unsigned long)xen_phys_machine;
    HYPERVISOR_shared_info->arch.mfn_to_pfn_start = (unsigned long)xen_machine_phys;

xen_phys_machine is start_info->mfn_list an xen_machine_phys is
(1008 << 22)

I'm now seeing:
(XEN) (file=/t/niners/users/xen/xen-2.0-testing.bk/xen/include/asm/mm.h,
line=157) Error pfn 00073000: ed=fc5f8040, sd=00000000, caf=00000000,
taf=0000000a

I know that comes from this:
        if ( unlikely((x & PGC_count_mask) == 0) ||  /* Not allocated?
*/
             unlikely((nx & PGC_count_mask) == 0) || /* Count overflow?
*/
             unlikely(d != domain) )                 /* Wrong owner? */
        {
            DPRINTK("Error pfn %08lx: ed=%p, sd=%p, caf=%08x,
taf=%08x\n",
                    page_to_pfn(page), domain, d,
                    x, page->u.inuse.type_info);
            return 0;
        }

But maybe you'll know off the top of your head what is wrong?

2.0-testing.bk

[Ian Pratt]

Folks,

It would be good if you could give 2.0-testing a try out as we're
close to releasing it as 2.0.4.

The main differences since 2.0.3:
  * Disabling the debugging that was accidentaly enabled in 2.0.2
that caused a drastic performance slow down
  * Move contents of /var/xen/ to /var/lib/xen as per LSB-FHS
  * fix network scripts not to be confused by ipv6
  * misc bug fixes (e.g. to VM restore code, confusion with >4GB
mem)


Thanks,
Ian
