xen: fix x86-64 boot and guest bundling issues

2026-02-26T01:05:01+00:00

Fix several issues found during x86-64 Xen testing: - xen-image-minimal: use -cpu host for KVM to avoid Xen CPUID filtering stripping AVX/AVX2 from x86-64-v3 builds, causing illegal instruction crashes in Dom0 - xen-image-minimal: use QB_MEM_VALUE (not QB_MEM) to properly override the hard assignment in qemuboot-xen-defaults.bbclass - xen-image-minimal: set dom0_mem=512M via QB_XEN_CMDLINE_EXTRA - qemuboot-xen-x86-64.cfg: add dom0_mem=512M to static syslinux config so guest autostart has memory available - vgabios: use ${SAVANNAH_GNU_MIRROR} for reliable downloads - alpine-xen-guest-bundle: add per-architecture checksums for aarch64 and x86_64 tarballs, fix S variable warning Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

xen: use bzImage for boot (instead of vmlinux)

2024-03-21T23:15:13+00:00

Testing with the latest oe-core was unable to boot and only syslinux was running. It appears that the desired kernel is not on the /boot partition, and hence the system can't continue. bzImage is installed and available, so we switch to that. We also ensure that both kernel-vmlinux and kernel-image are installed to the rootfs so we can have choices in the future. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

xen-image-minimal: supply bootloader config for qemux86-64 machine

2021-09-02T20:36:23+00:00

Add a dedicated bootloader config for the qemux86-64 machine so that the 'pmtmr=0' kernel command line argument can be provided, which removes an error message that otherwise occurs in syslog during boot which is detected by an OEQA test case causing it to fail. A new kickstart file is provided that applies the new bootloader config and it is supplied as an override to WKS_FILE for this image. This is work towards enabling the Xen Test Framework (XTF) in the OEQA testimage framework. Signed-off-by: Christopher Clark Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

wic: add support for bootable pcbios partition with Xen hypervisor

2020-02-27T21:59:22+00:00

New bootimg-biosxen wic plugin to populate a boot partition for launching Xen and dom0. Includes example kickstart wks files to generate disk images to boot into Xen from PC BIOS. eg: wic create directdisk-xen -e xen-image-minimal and write the resulting image file to a disk for boot.
