| configuring the hypervisor |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| Since 4.7.0 Xen supports using Kconfig to configure the hypervisor. Similarly |
| to how the recipe for busybox works, you can provide a .config as a defconfig |
| to override the default configuration of the hypervisor. The easiest way |
| for you to take advantage of this is to create a .config for Xen and then |
| copy it to your Yocto layer as 'defconfig' inside of |
| 'recipes-extended/xen/files/' and then create a bbappend adding |
| 'file://defconfig' to your SRC_URI. |
| |
| security patches |
| ---------------- |
| |
| The base recipe does not include security fixes that the Xen community releases |
| as XSAs (http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/). The easiest way to include those is to |
| drop patches in 'recipes-extened/xen/files' and create a bbappend adding those |
| patches to SRC_URI and they will be applied. Alternatively, you can override |
| the SRC_URI to a git repo you provide that contains the patches. |
