Cross-compiling the hypervisor is really easy ;).
1) Download the cross-compiler tarball (here one [1]) and uncompress it. You can
also install the one provided by your distro.
2) Build Xen hypervisor. Here an example for arm64:
42sh> cd xen.git/xen
42sh> make XEN_TARGET_ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILER=<triplet>-
In my case, I am using the Arm toolchain AArch64 GNU/Linux target
(aarch64-linux-gnu). So the <triplet> would be aarch64-linux-gnu.
This is assuming you have the compilers binary in your PATH. If not, you can use
give the full path:
CROSS_COMPILER=/opt/gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-

I think some of the code can be made common. So we could possibly rely on x86
for that. Additionally, IIRC, Konrad has a setup on the cubietruck for testing
livepatch.

Please no #ifdef CONFIG_X86 in the common code. If you don't plan to support
Arm, then we should introduce a new Kconfig that will gate all those changes.
Cheers,
