DomB Working Group

["Daniel P. Smith" <dpsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

Per the community call on Feb. 4 I would like to get the working group
started that will be reviewing the major design decisions for the DomB
implementation. A summary of the discussion around the two primary
decisions we are seeking to get resolved are as follows,


Topic: DomB: Adoption of Device Tree as the format for the Launch
Control Module
* Consensus approval from x86 and Arm maintainers and members of the Xen
community on the call to proceed with Device Tree as the format for the
DomB LCM (described in the previous mailing list posts).

- a working group will follow up on the work for handling migration of
device tree handling code within the hypervisor, previously imported
from outside the project, from the Arm hypervisor code into Common.

Topic: DomB: Surfacing configuration data to guests: ACPI tables, Device
Tree
* Recommendation was that both will be needed, and OK to proceed with
just implementing one but plan and design for the second to be added.
First is likely to be ACPI; to be determined as development progress is
made.


To continue the discussion from there, I would like to propose a call on
Thursday February 11th at 1700UTC, 0900PST/1200EST/1800CEST. I have
provided call details below for those who are able to attend. The agenda
is available on CryptPad. If you are not able to attend, please reach
out directly. Thanks and hope to see everyone on the call!
