Hi all,
I'm working on fixing up the grub packages for Fedora in deducing the
new BLS logic in Fedora and disabling it in non-compatible environments.
BZ Report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1703700
Currently, it seems that we can deduce the following two scenarios:
in /sys/hypervisor:
1) type == xen && uuid == all zeros, then this is BLS safe (the
Domain-0).
2) type == xen && uuid != all zeros, then this is BLS *unsafe* (covers
PV, HVM and PVH guests).
Is there any other variables that come into effect that could cause a
variation in the above checks as to enable or disable BLS?
Right now, I'm proposing that we try to disable the new BLS behaviour
in Fedora for PV, HVM and PVH guests - as pygrub is not up to the task
of booting them. We included HVM as it may be common for users to
switch between HVM and PVH configurations for the same installed VM.
Any comments either here or via the BZ report above would be welcome.
