As of now (2024-22-05) Xen with stubdom doesn't build because of a problem in the imported code. Been this way for about two weeks. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Also, there is a lot of work happening on Xen in my development repo, thanks to @Serus. Check it out at: https://github.com/refutationalist/saur

@Refutationalist, regarding the zstd support, it seems support for Dom0 is in progress.

I've tested this 4.14.1 on my older AMD box and my Xeon booting via EFI.

I'm in the middle of purging my need for the stubdom stuff, so I'm interested in hearing if people are using that at the moment. Also might have a co-maintainer shortly. Looking for input on how to handle zstd kernels.

4.14.1 has been out, and I'm working through it at the moment. Should hit my github repo in the next few days, and assuming it boots on my intel and AMD test systems, here shortly after.

@alaricljs -- the only real change between in the recent update was the inclusion of security patches from Xen. Might try pulling some of those out and see if that takes care of it for you. I'll see what I can test from here, but I'm not running any Windows VMs at the moment.

There was a patch update this morning, but I haven't looked at it closely yet. If it applies, there'll be a -5 soon.

@refutationalist - the -04 rev causes my Win VM to hang on boot (just the circular dot thing frozen on screen). The error in the vm log is:
qemu-system-i386: relocate_memory 4096 pages from GFN 40f000 to GFN f1000 failed: Bad address The version I was using prior to update was 4.14.0-1, I've rolled back.

Please replace the dependency sdl with sdl2 in your next version. SDL v1.2 is outdated and, as far as I can tell, is no longer supported by xen-4.14. Additionally libjpeg-turbo will be needed.

For the record, I almost universally use linux-lts on my servers, and that continues to work.

Also, when you update EFI, remember to copy the EFI kernel to /boot. That's not for you, that's for me, since I just spent an hour forgetting that.

EDIT: I will add a reminder in the next update. Maybe consider a hook, see how the kernels do it.

Updated to 4.14.0-4, added security patches, cmake fixes from cdchapman for stubdom building.

@alaricljs: that info would be better documented in the Wiki's Discussion page (or an update to the wiki if you have a procedure tested). Comments get lost into oblivion.

A partial (dom0 & PV) solution to the zstd compression issue that sticks to current kernels: https://gist.github.com/alaricljs/757d4b452335b187d7dff1b7e2c5808e

A Pacman hook that grabs the uncompressed kernel and puts it in /boot. Works on dom0 and PV guests (that's all that was tested, perhaps others work too).
