Perhaps it is either broken or that functionality never existed to start with? Ian.

Please correct me if I tested it in wrong way. > That's exactly what code looks like. I.e. XSM is recognized only if bootloader provided xen,xsm-policy compatible property. OTOH looking at xsm_dt_policy_init(), XSM module has defined magic and multiboot version actually detects module type based on this magic. So I think it makes sense to extend process_multiboot_node() to check for XSM magic in case of unknown modules. This will make ARM behavior compatible with x86. Otherwise we simply won't be able to load XSM on ARM at all, given current implementation in GRUB.

Hi Julien, I have posted the v3 , please check http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-03/msg03564.html And I hope GRUB patch can be merged :-) On 30 March 2016 at 23:52, Julien Grall <julien.grall@linaro.org> wrote: > Hello, > > Ping? > > Regards, > > > On 19/02/16 16:28, Julien Grall wrote: >> >> Xen is currently crashing because of malformed compatible property for >> the boot module.
