All,
both releases are due in about a month's time. Please point out
backports you find missing from their respective staging branches,
but which you consider relevant. On top of what I've just pushed
there I have
2fb57e4bee x86: silence false log messages for plain "xpti" / "pv-l1tf"
51e0cb4593 x86: split opt_xpti
0b89643ef6 x86: split opt_pv_l1tf
8743d2dea5 x86: fix "xpti=" and "pv-l1tf=" yet again
e30c47cd8b vtd: add missing check for shared EPT...
queued already - no need to point these out separately.
I've noticed only now that even 4.8.4 has gone out already after
its full support time period was over, due to the significant delay
between its preparations announcement and it actually having
become ready. Since its tree was maintained as if another stable
release would be done, I think we will want to cut such a release.
In that event, 4.8.5 is going to be the last XenProject coordinated
release from that branch. If we decide otherwise, we'd then
announce after the fact that 4.8.4 actually was.
Jan

Ian, something for you to queue up (if applicable).

Hi Jan,
Are you still entertaining backports for 4.8.x?
Also, are we interested in being able to build 4.8.x with newer gcc?
If so, the following for xen 4.8.x:
f49fa658 tools:misc:xenlockprof: fix possible format string overflow
796dea37 tools: include sys/sysmacros.h on Linux
7dc15bd7 tools: fix several "format-truncation" warnings with GCC 7
And the following for qemu-xen 4.8.x:
6511713c memfd: fix configure test
e05274ac blkdebug: Catch bs->exact_filename overflow
2d4685f6 blkverify: Catch bs->exact_filename overflow
c089583e usb: Fix build with newer gcc
e8044943 slirp/smb: Replace constant strings by glib string
I tested these on staging-4.8, built for aarch64.
If the answer to either of the questions above is "no" then please disregard.
Regards,
Stew

Only rather important ones at this point, I would say. It's been a full
month since I had asked, and the release is to be cut soon.

That's a nice-to-have, but not more. However, ...

... qemu-xen things by Stefano/Anthony, and especially here I'm
not sure we've done any such backporting in the past.

Many of these are tools things which fall in my bailiwick.

4.8 is still in security support, but general support ended in June
this year. I think many of your suggested patches are security bugs
and I think I would prefer just to take them all than to nitpick which
I want.
Are these commitids from xen.git#master and the corresponding
qemu-xen.git branch ?
Thanks,
Ian.

Sorry, no, a few of those were from xen.git#staging-4.9 and qemu-xen.git#staging-4.9.
Here's the same list, but with commit ids for the same commits on xen.git#master:
f49fa658 tools:misc:xenlockprof: fix possible format string overflow
796dea37 tools: include sys/sysmacros.h on Linux
2d78f78a tools: fix several "format-truncation" warnings with GCC 7
And qemu-xen.git#master:
75e5b70e memfd: fix configure test
de81d72d blkdebug: Catch bs->exact_filename overflow
05cc758a blkverify: Catch bs->exact_filename overflow
121829cb usb: Fix build with newer gcc
f95cc8b6 slirp/smb: Replace constant strings by glib string
Thanks,
Stew

Could you please take a look at this backport?
It should be backported to both Xen 4.11 and 4.10 branches.
It was initially reported against 4.10, and the user who reported it
provides a backport for Xen 4.10 here:
