xen: make kernel modules an override possible variable

2020-09-22T19:51:10+00:00

Sometimes Xen is built with different mixes of kernel modules and built-in values. If we put our expected/default modules in a variable, they can be overriden by a different kernel provider as required Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

xen: make QB_ assignments weak

2020-09-16T18:16:48+00:00

runqemu is looking for the QB_DEFAULT_KERNEL to be set to "none" to trigger special processing. The current set of QB_DEFAULT_KERNEL="" won't trigger that behaviour .. so we change the default. We also make the assignments weak, to allow easier overrides in specific implementations. We also need a patch to qemuboot.bbclass to make the defaults ??=, and when that is done, our ?= here will work properly. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

xen-image-minimal: enable runqemu for x86-64

2020-03-02T20:04:28+00:00

Booting this Xen image with QEMU works when launching from the wic-generated pcbios disk image with the directdisk-xen.wks kickstart file, so add the variable settings to make doing it simple -- eg: runqemu xen-image-minimal nographic slirp Tested with MACHINEs: qemux86-64 and genericx86-64 Memory allocated to qemu is increased slightly over the default to allow for running Xen and the Linux dom0 and guest VMs. Signed-off-by: Christopher Clark Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

xen-image-minimal: add a build dependency on the xen hypervisor

2020-02-27T21:59:23+00:00

The hypervisor may not be within the dom0 filesystem image itself, so add a task dependency to ensure that it is deployable: do_build[depends] += "xen:do_deploy" Signed-off-by: Christopher Clark Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

xen-image-minimal: add kernel-module-tun for HVM guest networking

2020-02-27T21:59:23+00:00

Xen HVM guests are only on x86 platforms so add the module via overrides. Signed-off-by: Christopher Clark Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

xen: separate recipes for hypervisor and tools; switch to git as source

2020-02-27T21:59:23+00:00

This change changes the names of many packages produced: the xen-tools recipe now builds packages previous built by the xen recipe, so the package prefix changes from "xen-" to "xen-tools-". A temporary bbappend is provided for qemu to ease the transition. Multiple motivations for recipe separation: - improves efficiency of incremental build and development - supports building the hypervisor and tools with different toolchains and for different architectures Switch to using a git recipe on the Xen stable branch: - enables easier tracking of critical XSA security updates applied upstream by just advancing SRCREV along the branch Revision has been set to the tip of the stable-4.12 branch, which has the one XSA-312 patch applied on top of RELEASE-4.12.2. The recipe refactor externalizes the block tap components, to enable optional building of blktap in a separate recipe outside xen-tools, needed by OpenXT. xenstored is made a virtual package to support switching between alternative implementations (several exist). Update xen-image-minimal to install the xen-tools package, which replaces what was previously xen-base. Determine the flask policy filename, which is Xen-version specific, using the same method as the Xen build system. qemu: update PACKAGECONFIG[xen] for xen package renaming: allows builds to continue correctly in the meantime while openembedded core and poky are updated.

xen-image-minimal: corrected popoulation xen.gz for syslinux

2017-10-09T16:38:08+00:00

syslinux images cannot boot because they're missing of xen.gz file. Current poky doesn't use populate() function, instead syslinux_populate() can be used. Signed-off-by: Dariusz Pelowski Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

xen-guest-image-minimal: fix making PCI a x86-only dependency

2017-10-04T20:54:36+00:00

The logic for restricting the xen-pciback kernel module to x86-only images was incorrect, resulting in the IMAGE_INSTALL_x86 and _x86-64 variables causing the IMAGE_INSTALL variable contents to be overridden and incomplete. This correction removes the specialized IMAGE_INSTALL_x86 and _x84-64 variables. The replacement logic causes a value with conditionally-populated contents to be added to the IMAGE_INSTALL variable.

xen-image-minimal: Make kernel-module-xen-pciback a x86-only dependency

2017-09-19T13:22:55+00:00

This commit fixes the xen-image-minimal build for non-x86 arch with PCI enabled. The Linux kernel option CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_BACKEND currently depends on X86. This means that the xen-pciback kernel module cannot be included in this image for non-x86 architecture builds, so don't attempt to install it in that case.

xen-image-minimal : change SYSLINUXCFG to SYSLINUX_CFG

2017-08-24T13:55:41+00:00

The SYSLINUXCFG variable was renamed to SYSLINUX_CFG in poky and openembedded-core with the commits referenced below. This commit makes a corresponding change to fix the build for xen-image-minimal.
