Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Remove 32-bit Xen PV guest support
Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2019 13:37:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190715113739.17694-1-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
The long term plan has been to replace Xen PV guests by PVH. The first
victim of that plan are now 32-bit PV guests, as those are used only
rather seldom these days. Xen on x86 requires 64-bit support and with
Grub2 now supporting PVH officially since version 2.04 there is no
need to keep 32-bit PV guest support alive in the Linux kernel.
Additionally Meltdown mitigation is not available in the kernel running
as 32-bit PV guest, so dropping this mode makes sense from security
point of view, too.

x86/xen: remove 32-bit Xen PV guest support
