Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] RE: [Fedora-xen] fedora-xen-ia64 first pass

Hi,

This is a patch to turn on vp mode of xen.
But I have compile error.

>> 
>>     (d) generate a patch at any time that adds xen support to the
>>         fedora kernel (linux-2.6-xen.patch generated with "make
>>         mkpatches")
>>

>>    using xen-unstable (which is what the current Fedora Xen patch is
>>    based on).
>> 
>> 3. The bare metal config is built for Generic.  The xen0 and xenU
>>    configs are built for DIG-Compliant.  It seems that the kernel
>>    won't build for Generic with CONFIG_XEN enabled.  Using
>>    DIG-compliant for the xen kernels is probably okay for now, but it
>>    would be good to get Generic building.
>> 
>> 4. After applying patch700 (linux-2.6-xen.patch), the spec file
>>    executes xen-mkbuildtree-pre if it exists for the architecture.
>>    In effect, this is applying an ia64-specific patch, even though it

>>    made by xen-mkbuildtree-pre need to be folded into
>>    linux-2.6-xen.patch to prevent architecture-specific maintenance
>>    headaches in the stack of Fedora kernel patches.
>> 
>> 5. My forward port broke the exec-shield patch application.  Juan has
>>    this resolved in his version, but that's based on an older
>>    xen-unstable changeset.  I commented out patch810-812 for the
>>    moment.
>> 
>> 6. The xen patch is missing some function prototypes.  (I believe this
>>    is a problem in xen upstream not something introduced by my port.)
>>    The Fedora kernel build normally turns on
>>    -Werror-implicit-function-declaration in patch1018
>>    (linux-2.6-debug-Wundef.patch).  I commented out this patch for the
>>    moment.
>> 
>> 7. The hypervisor doesn't build on ia64 with "debug=y verbose=y

>>    ia64 instead.
>> 
>> 8. /sbin/new-kernel-pkg doesn't handle installation of the hypervisor

>>

>>    for example libvirt.
>>
