[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#863198: Xen compiling with XSM on

[Herve Moris]

Hi Hans,

As far as I remember Mark Pryor managed to compile it and made a debian
package with XSM enabled.

So I think you can indeed close this bug :)

Fun fact, I just compiled compiled the new stable version (4.11.1)
yesterday successfully.

If anyone crossing these reports wants to know the process (build in a
Docker container, default flask policy):

    /# In an updated Debian 9 docker /

    /echo "deb-src http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/ testing main" >>
    /etc/apt/sources.list//
    //apt update && apt upgrade -y/

    ///# install testing apt sources//
    //apt-get source xen//
    //
    //# or just use ://
    //apt-get build-dep xen//
    //
    //apt install checkpolicy texinfo fakeroot libpci-dev pandoc
    libsystemd-dev fig2dev markdown devscripts rdfind//
    //
    //cd $(find $(pwd) -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "xen-*")//
    //
    //cat <<EOF >> //
    //
    //# Enableling and configuring XSM and FLASK//
    //XSM_ENABLE=y//
    //FLASK_ENABLE=y//
    //CONFIG_XSM=y//
    //CONFIG_FLASK=y//
    //CONFIG_FLASK_AVC_STATS=y//
    //CONFIG_XSM_POLICY=y//
    //
    //EOF//
    //
    //cd ..//
    //
    //dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b//
    //
    //mkdir ../deb_files//
    //mv ../*.deb /../deb_files//
    //
    //# Copy what is under ./deb_files to the server (docker cp ... &&
    scp -r ...)//
    //
    //
    //## Installation notes//
    //# Install the deb files//
    //dpkg -i *.deb//
    //
    //# set GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="flask=permissive" and
    GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN=""//
    //# in /etc/default/grub.d/xen.cfg//
    //
    //update-grub//
    //
    //# if grub doesn't want to start XEN kernel because of xenpolicy
    multiboot header bla bla - Li'l Bug with Grub integration//
    //# change //
    //# for i in /boo/xen*; do ...    to    for i in /boo/xen-*; do
    ...          (line 180)//
    //# in vim /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen//
    //
    //update-grub/
