Hi Oleksii, We previously discussed the PV_SHIM_EXCLUSIVE build issue on Matrix and agreed on resolving it after the feature freeze as a fix. This conversation took place before the feature freeze was rescheduled to September 5. I am documenting this on xen-devel both for record-keeping and because Matrix is currently offline. I am proceeding under the assumption that the conclusions from that discussion still apply.
I would like to request an additional clarification. While there is no consensus among the maintainers on the preferred short-term compromise, there is agreement that reviewing and committing the domctl series [1] in time would be the best outcome. (Together with unifying CONFIG_SYSCTL and CONFIG_DOMCTL into a single CONFIG_MGMT_HYPERCALLS for simplicify.) Are you still OK with us going ahead with reviewing and committing the domctl series as a fix to the PV_SHIM_EXCLUSIVE issue, potentially going past the feature freeze by a week? Many thanks!
