As of now (2024-22-05) Xen with stubdom doesn't build because of a problem in the imported code. Been this way for about two weeks. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Also, there is a lot of work happening on Xen in my development repo, thanks to @Serus. Check it out at: https://github.com/refutationalist/saur

Xen 4.16.2 should be out soon, but I'm changing some of the ways this package compiles. First, the XSA patches always suggest that they be applied not to the tarball but to stable branch. I'd been meaning to do it for a while, but the retbleed patchset was the final nail in the tarball coffin.

There is a problem, however. Xen's builtin QEMU doesn't build properly at the moment, which is precisely the problem earlier packagers had to contend with. We really should see about separating that out, since it's a build-within-a-build.

So with that, plus a couple other issues-- how to version this and whether or not I should pin the PKGBUILD to a specific commit-- you can check out what I'm working on in my PKGBUILD repo: https://github.com/refutationalist/saur

EDIT: in a branch on that repo, I've removed QEMU building from the xen package entirely, and now have a xen-qemu package that builds QEMU fairly closely to how Xen itself builds it, so it shouldn't conflict with an existing QEMU installation. I'm thinking this may be the way to go for now, just in case there's some future push to get Xen into the repos and therefore use Arch's included qemu.

@Refutationalist During package creation, Qemu configuration detects needed options, two additional files can be created: /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-keymap /usr/lib/xen/libexec/vhost-user-gpu

These two files should also be removed when assembling the xen package, but only if they are present.

@straybit & @FringeLunatic

I've been working on this on and off. Can either of you try building Xen in a clean chroot to see if you get the same conflict? My packages don't create a qemu-keymap at all, and I do not build my packages on my workstation.

Like ArthurBorsboom and FringeLunatic I also get a conflicting file error:

Like ArthurBorsboom, I get a conflicting file error:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-keymap exists in both 'xen' and 'xen-qemu-builtin'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Any way to fix this conflict without removing "qemu-keymap?" I believe this is a bug because both "xen" and "xen-qemu-builtin" own "qemu-keymap." I don't want to report it as such if there's something obvious I'm missing but I've found nothing about it until a user reported it here.

@Shapito You need to add the PGP key to your keyring to verify the signature, and patch is part of base-devel, which is always assumed.

I get two errors when try to install this package. ==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... xen-4.16.1.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key 83FE14C957E82BD9) ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!

If I want to install the xen-qemu-builtin package, I have to manually delete two files, which conflict with the xen package; then it can be installed without a conflict. Is this caused by the xen package?

After last xen upgrade Im running into a strange error at bootup: none domain are up. Searching logs for a clue i found this:

May 31 11:08:16 bakaneko systemd[1]: Finished Xendomains - start and stop guests on boot and shutdown. May 31 11:08:16 bakaneko xendomains[369]: [done] May 31 11:08:16 bakaneko xendomains[369]: !

Despite this if xendomains is manually restarted everything boots up normally. Another error is related to qemu-dom0 backend:

May 31 11:36:42 bakaneko systemd[1]: Starting qemu for xen dom0 disk backend... May 31 11:36:42 bakaneko systemd[1]: Started qemu for xen dom0 disk backend. May 31 11:36:42 bakaneko qemu-system-i386[964]: qemu-system-i386: -xen-domid 0: Option not supported for this target.

Also at system upgrade a question arise for qemu-desktop replacement for qemu (dont know its related or not) Any suggestion? Thanks!!

Here is 4.16.1-1.

Has patches to compile under GCC12, entirely by disabling some error checks.
The hvmloader patch has been brought in, fixing that problem.
I dropped working on the OVMF fixes, since that's a separate project from Xen.
I have tested it on exactly two systems, both of which run AMD processors. Error reports and patches welcome.

UPDATE 2022-05-18: I have one machine running a Ryzen 7 5700G with an Intel 82576 that crashes on iommu. I'm attempting to get help with the problem, but if anyone else has a problem I'd like to hear about it.
