DEFINE_XEN_FLEX_RING(xencons) defines common helper functions such as
xencons_queued() to tell the current size of the ring buffer,
xencons_mask() to mask off the index, which are useful helper functions.
pl011 emulation code will use these helper functions.

io/console.h includes io/ring.h which defines DEFINE_XEN_FLEX_RING.

In console/daemon/io.c, string.h had to be included before io/console.h
because ring.h uses string functions.

Unfortunately this patch breaks the build on x86.

I am a bit surprised that this breaks only build on x86. I was expecting the header checks to be done on all the architecture ... hmmm... looking at the Makefile, the checks is only done when building natively. I guess you are cross-compiling?

It might be interesting to look at getting headers check in cross-compile environment given that this is the main way to build the hypervisor today.

The reason is that
DEFINE_XEN_FLEX_RING requires C99, and the current header checks in
xen/include/Makefile use ANSI C.

I was not able to spot why DEFINE_XEN_FLEX_RING would require C99. Can you detail it?

Cheers,
