Has anyone tried to generate a live patch for xsa213 against 4.8? When I try to do so I get errors for common/compat/compat/multicall.o and
xen/common/multicall.o stating that 'changed section .discard not selected for inclusion'.
I think, but could be mistaken, that the .discard section is not material and should be ignored by create-diff-object. Is this true and if so what is
the right way of implementing this?
Please keep me CC'ed as I am not currently subscribed.
Thanks, Sarah

Hi Sarah,
You are correct that the .discard section is not needed. I had
previously fixed this but hadn't yet sent out that patch. I've now sent
this fix along with another to xen-devel.
