We've moved to the newly-stable 4.20.0 branch. There are also other changes:

stubdom is fixed by disabling the vtmp and vtpmmgr components. This gets rid of a few source files and our remaining patches.
Debug files are only removed if the debug option is not set in makepkg.cfg (or the PKGBUILD itself)
pygrub has been removed
optdepends are adjusted for the upcoming xen-grub split package for the various Xen flavored builds.

If you're still using pygrub note that it is deprecated. The solution is to build PV grub instead, which used to be in AUR but is now missing. I am asking a couple questions on the mailing list, and I intend to put my current build of xen-grub (which supersedes xen-pvhgrub) on AUR as soon as possible. If you need to build it before that occurs, you can find it in my PKGBUILD repo.

EDIT: 4.20.0-2 adds support for the xen-edk2 package, which has a fixed UEFI for xen

I found that the gcc upgrade to 10 broke my compile, too. The only reason I needed to compile is that nettle upgraded and requires xen to be recompiled, but I could only get xen 4.13.0 to compile, not 4.13.1. I downgraded gcc back to the last version of 9 and was able to recompile for the newer version of nettle.

I'm still on kernel 5.5.13-arch2 as it was the latest I could get HVM networking to work (I run OPNSense as a HVM).

My server motherboard doesn't have UEFI, so I'm only doing BIOS boot with Grub2.

Thanks for the repo. I will certainly check it out!

Refutationalist commented on 2020-05-21 05:59 (UTC)

Oh, also, I haven't tested the grub bits at all since, as I don't use it.

Refutationalist commented on 2020-05-21 05:51 (UTC)

Most recent upgrade of one of my dom0s broke this package for me. Also, recompiling from this package or any other PKGBUILD failed under GCC 10.1. I decided to look into it as I needed this machine up and running.

While I was looking for solutions, I noticed that there was a tarball for 4.13.1 available. I found some patches for GCC 10 via Fedora, but there were other simple changes needed for 10.1. It was trial and error, "make it go" hacking rather than anything robust, but it does compile and run.

It's a kitbash of a couple PKGBUILDs with some changes to simplify things. It's available here: https://github.com/refutationalist/saur/tree/master/xen

I've tested it on exactly one system: the one I needed to run. It's successfully booted Arch in PV and OpenBSD in HVM. Haven't tested PVH yet, but that's next. At this point, I thought more eyes were better.

Elsewhere in the repo is a version of qemu from the repos that has been modified to include xen, if that's needed.

I've been testing different kernels with dom0 under Xen. I found that kernel 5.6.0 does not work, but 5.5.13-arch2-1 does. I will be looking through the other kernel versions and comparing the kernel compile configs to determine if something changed.

Kernel 5.5.13-arch2-a as a dom0 under Xen 4.13.0 is working, so far.

linuxninja commented on 2020-05-06 12:07 (UTC)

No problem getting Xen 4.13.0 compiled and running. Had to change one configure option...

linuxninja commented on 2020-05-05 16:35 (UTC)

Any updates on getting the version moved up? This package is now a couple of versions behind upstream... current Xen version is 4.13.0

I was able to get 4.12.2 to build without issue.

linuxninja commented on 2020-05-05 15:37 (UTC)

Upgraded to the latest kernel, 5.6.10, and it broke networking for Xen HVM (opnsense). Downgraded the kernel back to 5.5.8 and things work, again. Not sure which kernel version is the last one that works since I haven't upgraded each release.

Not sure if we not need to install the xen /boot/xen-$version.config, we do not have a Arch linux /boot/config-vmlinuz, which is where one GRUB 20_linux_xen issue comes from: GRUB upstream bug: 20_linux_xen does not work if no kernel config file

xen-$version.efi may still be wanted by some, and GRUB should not add this as a multiboot2 option: GRUB upstream bug: 20_linux_xen also creates garbage entries for xenconfig and xenefi

FFY00 commented on 2020-04-04 22:20 (UTC)

Xen installs the /usr/lib/modules-load.d/xen.conf file. It also contains (historic) module names that do not exist in our distribution. systemd-modules-load.service will exit with failure for these nonexistant modules, but boot does continue. see:pacman -Ql linux | grep -E 'xen-' https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/xen/?O=0&PP=100#comment-622244

Ah, thanks.

My second GRUB patch null config filename we could workaround by installing: /boot/config-${linux pkgbase} with CONFIG_XEN_DOM0=y in a pacman hook? But this is only appropriate to booting Xen with GRUB on Arch. I will open bug upstream and pursue it there as well.

Thanks! Please post a link when you do :)
