Xen 4.16.0-3 doesn't seem to build with gcc 12.1.0

Hoping to get to it this week. Haven't had much time in front of a computer myriad of reasons.

@Refutationalist : any change of applying this patch to the PKGBUILD ?

@ArthurBorsboom Have a look at https://github.com/refutationalist/saur/pull/8 As long as this patch is not applied yet, you would have to help yourself.

I suspect I am overseeing something, but I can't find the hvmloader anymore in /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader

Do I need to install a separate package? Am I missing a built/makepkg option?

Any pointers?

@milenus, this package does not build the qemu-xen-traditional device model, but this is needed if you want to use the mini-os-based qemu stubdom with device_model_stubdomain_override = 1. A qemu stubdom based on Linux is needed for use with the qemu-xen device model. As I have read, this will be part of Xen in the future. QubesOS already uses such stubdoms, but I haven't tried them yet. This package builds the VTPM stubdoms, which can be used to store LUKS keys, for example.

Actually in the last two commits there is no hvmloader after installing the compiled packages regardless of the build options, so I rolled back to 4.16.0-1.

@milenus: I don't actually use stubdom, so I'm not surprised they're working right. They're only in by request. I haven't set up a test for them, just hoping to get feedback. Patch will be welcome, otherwise it'll be a bit.

Hello @Refutationalist, I just read how cool are stub domains and decided to try them. Successfully compiled and installed all four xen*.zst packages. I included in the HVM file device_model_stubdomain_override = 1 but when I try to create the VM it fails because of missing hvmloader. Can you please share some info how you use it?

@Sven that's fixed now. I swear that was wrapped in an if statement at some point.
