4.5.3 preparations

4.5.3 preparations

[Jan Beulich]

All,

it just occurred to me that 4.5.2 has been a while back, and indeed
4.5.3 would be due later this week. This may be a little too eager,
but I'd like to aim at getting this out at least some time next week.
Besides what is in the tree already, I have three more commits I
intend to backport:
0640ffb67f	x86emul: fix rIP handling
1329105943	x86/hvm: print register state upon triple fault
81d3a0b26c	x86emul: limit-check branch targets
Please indicate any further commits you think need putting in
before that stable release (Stefano, I'd in particular rely on you
to indicate any possible ARM candidates).

Thanks, Jan

Call for tools backport requests for 4.5.x (Re: 4.5.3 preparations)

I have cleared out my current backport list.

For reference, I don't do a sweep of the git log of master to look for
things to backport.

I rely on someone (which might be the maintainer or submitter, or
anyone else) noticing that a fix ought to be considered for backport
and bringing it to my attention.

My backport queue was surprisingly empty.  I encourage people to reply
to this message with backport requets.

Thanks,
Ian.

I propose this build fix:
77fec3a tools/console: correct make dependencies for _paths.h

Right.  Well, actually, I'm happy right now to take backport requests
for all the maintained trees.

Thanks,
Ian.

Thanks, applied to 4.6.  It didn't apply cleanly to 4.5.  If 4.5 has
the same bug I would welcome a backport.

Thanks,
Ian.

Will do. I'm puzzled that they're in 4.6.1, but didn't at the
same time go into staging-4.5.

Indeed, that's why they were easy to spot

Done. In the process of doing so I've got the impression that you
actually handed my commit IDs from the 4.6 branch instead of
master ones. Also the second one didn't apply without fuzz, so
please double check.

I believe the current 4.5 trees are missing
xsa155-xen-0001-xen-Add-RING_COPY_REQUEST.patch
xsa155-xen-0002-blktap2-Use-RING_COPY_REQUEST.patch
xsa155-xen-0003-libvchan-Read-prod-cons-only-once.patch
xsa164.patch

These indeed appear to be missing (also on other stable
branches) - Ian?

> xsa164.patch

This one I can't seem to see missing - it's the top commit on the
stable-4.5 branch (and the stable-4.6, FWIW). (And FTR I can
also see the qemu-upstream variant of the XSA-162 fix - which
has been missing from 4.4.4 and 4.6.1 - in the respective stable
branches.)

You are right. I probably took the commit specified in Config.mk in my 
testing rather than the head of the qemu-xen-traditional 4.5 branch.
