Hi all,
Sorry I bring up this question at here if it's duplicate due I googled

These changes work in conjunction with the signature
verification support for Xen I published recently.
Prior to this change, kexec supported the following
three modes of operation:
kexec_load:
- unverified loading of kernel into Linux (original mode)
- unverified loading of kernel into Xen
This change adds to Xen the kexec_file_load() entry point. The
kexec_file_load() is nearly identical to kexec_load(), but with the
added code to handle checking and handling of PECOFF Authenticode
signature verification.

This change adds a new entry point in libxenctrl for the
kexec_file_load() operation. The code for kexec_file_load() is nearly
identical to kexec_load() other than the use of hypercall op

This is a collection of small changes to Xen sources to

few necessary code stubs, but vast majority is header file

The changes to xen.spec also apply patches which are primarily

On April 20, 2018, I posted to xen-devel an RFC inquiring about
support for signature verification of kexec within Xen:

Since then, I've worked towards a solution. For the purposes of

This reverts commit 1bce5f9baf0f4a4e50722f32b44afe4fdefc6b35.
This situation should be handled by disabling the dm restrict
feature, not silently falling back to lower protection.
Also this #ifdeffery is bad style.

CLONE_NEWIPC was introduced in Linux 2.6.19, on the 29th of November
2006, which was 12 years, 1 month, and 14 days ago.
Nevertheless apparently some people are trying to build Xen on systems
whose kernel headers are that old. Placate these people by providing
a fallback #define for

Hi all
The locking scheme seems to be remaining sticking point. The rest are
mostly cosmetic issues (FAOD, they still need to be addressed). Frankly

This is a purely cosmetic patch that purges the name 'ioreq' from struct,
variable and field names. (This name has been problematic for a long time
as 'ioreq' is the name used for generic I/O requests coming from Xen).
The patch replaces 'struct ioreq' with a new
From: Tim Smith
The xen-block dataplane currently allocates memory to hold the data for
each request as that request is used, and frees it afterwards. Because
it requires page-aligned blocks, this interacts poorly with non-page-
aligned allocations and balloons the heap.
Instead, allocate the

This is a purely cosmetic patch that purges remaining use of 'blk' and

If the I/O ring is full, the guest cannot send any more requests
until some responses are sent. Only sending all available responses
just before checking for new work does not leave much time for the
guest to supply new work, so this will cause stalls if the ring gets
full. Also,

When I/O consists of many small requests, performance is improved by
batching them together in a single io_submit() call. When there are
relatively few requests, the extra overhead is not worth it. This
