There is a hope to (which is, I guess, why Jan asked for it to be common), but it shouldn't give any implication that it is available on ARM yet. I am not overly familiar with the kconfig grammar. Is there a sensible way to limit the option to being visible only on x86, and only on 64bit builds? (even if arm supported compat, it wouldn't make sense to offer it to arm32). Or am I just talking my way back around to suggesting that it be an arch specific option? ~Andrew

Currently its not visible to users at all and x86 just enables it. Should it be made to be visible we could keep it in the common place and add depends like "depends on X86_64" or "depends on 64BIT" (both x86_64 and arm64).

I don't think ARM is meant to ever use this layer - its interface was made 32-bit clean from the beginning. The reason for wanting this option to be common is an abstract one (i.e. considering just possible future architectures). Jan

Correct. We went to some lengths to avoid the need for a compat layer for supporting 32 bit guests on a 64 bit Xen ARM. I also want to clarify that ARM guests are neither PV nor HVM(*), they are something in between and we try to avoid the PV/HVM terminology when speaking about ARM, they are just "guests" as there is only one kind. (Some of the PV/HVM terminology has leaked into the implementation, due to not fully refactoring some stuff or shaving various yaks by renaming stuff, but that's irrelevant to the bigger picture IMHO). Eventually we may end up with a thing like x86's HVM (i.e. pretending to be real h/w) at which point we will need to retcon on a name for the existing guest type. (*) They are somewhat more like a PVH or dm-lite guest, but even that isn't quite right. > The reason for wanting this > option to be common is an abstract one (i.e. considering just possible > future architectures). I would hope that most future arches would try very hard to follow ARM's lead here and not have a compat layer at all, but that doesn't conflict with your abstract point IMHO. Ian.

Use the Kconfig generated CONFIG_COMPAT defines in the code base. CC: Keir Fraser <keir@xen.org> CC: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> CC: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Doug Goldstein <cardoe@cardoe.com> --- This was previously Acked-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> but then there was a request to change it to xen/common/Kconfig from xen/arch/x86/Kconfig. Unfortunately a small typo ('def_bool y' instead of 'bool') caused it to break on ARM. This resolves the issue and should be ready to merge. --- config/x86_64.mk | 1 - xen/arch/x86/Kconfig | 1 + xen/common/Kconfig | 7 +++++++ 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
