The alternative is to add a XENVER_get_uuid code to HYPERVISOR_xen_version(), but I'm not sure that's worth it. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@xxxxxxxxxx> Christian has a fair point that, if you're just reading it out of xenstore, you could do that directly from user space. I suppose there is an argument of necessary privileges to do so however, since you need to be root to open the xenstore device file. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
