Today Xenstore is not restartable. This means a Xen server needing an update of xenstored has to be rebooted in order to let this update become effective. This patch series is changing that: The internal state of xenstored (the contents of Xenstore, all connections to various clients like programs or other domains, and watches) is saved in a defined format and a new binary is being activated consuming the old state. All connections are being restored and the new Xenstore binary will continue where the old one stopped. This patch series has been under (secret) development for quite some time. It hasn't been posted to xen-devel until now due to the various Xenstore related security issues which have become public only today. There will be a similar series for oxenstored posted. Xenstore-stubdom is not yet supported, but I'm planning to start working on that soon. Changes in V10 (for the members of the security team): - dropped patch 6 as requested by Andrew Juergen Gross (24): tools/xenstore: switch barf[_perror]() to use syslog() tools/xenstore: make set_tdb_key() non-static tools/xenstore: remove unused cruft from xenstored_domain.c tools/libxenevtchn: add possibility to not close file descriptor on exec tools/xenstore: refactor XS_CONTROL handling tools/xenstore: add live update command to xenstore-control tools/xenstore: add basic live-update command parsing tools/xenstore: introduce live update status block tools/xenstore: save new binary for live update tools/xenstore: add command line handling for live update tools/xenstore: add the basic framework for doing the live update tools/xenstore: allow live update only with no transaction active docs: update the xenstore migration stream documentation tools/xenstore: add include file for state structure definitions tools/xenstore: dump the xenstore state for live update tools/xenstore: handle CLOEXEC flag for local files and pipes tools/xenstore: split off domain introduction from do_introduce() tools/xenstore: evaluate the live update flag when starting tools/xenstore: read internal state when doing live upgrade tools/xenstore: add reading global state for live update tools/xenstore: add read connection state for live update tools/xenstore: add read node state for live update tools/xenstore: add read watch state for live update tools/xenstore: activate new binary for live update Julien Grall (1): tools/xenstore: handle dying domains in live update docs/designs/xenstore-migration.md | 19 +- docs/misc/xenstore.txt | 21 + tools/include/xenevtchn.h | 16 +- tools/libs/evtchn/Makefile | 2 +- tools/libs/evtchn/core.c | 45 +- tools/libs/evtchn/freebsd.c | 9 +- tools/libs/evtchn/libxenevtchn.map | 4 + tools/libs/evtchn/linux.c | 9 +- tools/libs/evtchn/minios.c | 6 +- tools/libs/evtchn/netbsd.c | 2 +- tools/libs/evtchn/private.h | 2 +- tools/libs/evtchn/solaris.c | 2 +- tools/xenstore/Makefile | 3 +- tools/xenstore/include/xenstore_state.h | 131 +++++ tools/xenstore/utils.c | 20 + tools/xenstore/utils.h | 6 + tools/xenstore/xenstore_control.c | 332 ++++++++++++- tools/xenstore/xenstored_control.c | 612 +++++++++++++++++++++++- tools/xenstore/xenstored_control.h | 1 + tools/xenstore/xenstored_core.c | 510 ++++++++++++++++++-- tools/xenstore/xenstored_core.h | 40 ++ tools/xenstore/xenstored_domain.c | 312 +++++++++--- tools/xenstore/xenstored_domain.h | 14 +- tools/xenstore/xenstored_posix.c | 13 +- tools/xenstore/xenstored_transaction.c | 11 +- tools/xenstore/xenstored_watch.c | 171 +++++-- tools/xenstore/xenstored_watch.h | 5 + 27 files changed, 2103 insertions(+), 215 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/xenstore/include/xenstore_state.h -- 2.26.2
