[PATCH v1] Make demu.git compiler under Xen 4.7 (and later)

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk]

Hey!

This patch lets me compile this emulator under Xen 4.7.

It probably can be done better (#ifdef magic?) but for right
now this gets me past the compile errors.

BTW, are there any other outstanding patches against this tree?

Thanks for taking the time to send this. I'll incorporate this a.s.a.p.

Thank you. Keep in mind that it will likely break against
older Xen versions (Xen 4.4?) as there is no xenctrl_compat.h

[Oh wait, Xen 4.4 didn't have ioreq either, so perhaps Xen 4.5?]

But I wasn't sure how you wanted to deal with this being compiled
against say Xen 4.6?

Or maybe the README file should just say what version of Xen
is required? (I can send an patch for that too if you would like).

I'm not sure you actually need to include that directly. I was going to try just adding the 'want compat' defines and seeing if I could make it work. I think it *should* work since all we do for upstream QEMU is add those defines into the configure cmd line IIRC.

That's ok. I can do a little experimentation and add a README.

I pushed modified patches into the master and console branches. Hopefully it should now build ok for you.

This is still my private project, although if it's generally useful then maybe it can be adopted as part of the Xen project?

For the benefit of the list, there are two branches in http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/pauldu/demu.git

- The 'master' branch is a very basic standalone device emulator. It serves as boilerplate for emulation of a single PCI device.

- The 'console' branch is a (PS/2) Keyboard-VGA-Mouse emulator using libVNCServer which can potentially be used with an HVM guest with PV network and storage drivers, thus removing the need to use QEMU. demu is a small and constrained piece of code and thus presents a much smaller attack surface. The original intention was also to run it in a 'console service domain' to further contain damage it was successfully attacked.

It's likely that I will patch the code further once my current work on libxendevicemodel is done (following acceptance of my recent privcmd patches).

  Cheers,

    Paul

It is a nice project!

By 'adopted' you mean being built as part of xen.git (like minios.git?) - and
all of those requirements?

Glad you find it useful :-)

Something like that, then it can be incorporated as an option into the xen build and we can make sure any dependency issues like this are caught in future.

I guess I'd probably make the 'console' branch master in a more official repo... I could even look at adding the necessary tooling into libxl to kick it off too :-)
