A mechanism is required to binarily patch the running hypervisor with new opcodes that have come about due to primarily security updates. This document describes the design of the API that would allow us to upload to the hypervisor binary patches. This document has been shaped by the input from: Martin Pohlack <mpohlack@amazon.de> Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> Thank you!

xen-bugtool =========== The xen-bugtool command line application will collate the Xen dmesg output, details of the hardware configuration of your machine, information about the build of Xen that you are using, plus, if you allow it, various logs. The information collated can either be posted to a Xen Bugzilla bug (this bug must already exist in the system, and you must be a registered user there), or it can be saved as a .tar.bz2 for sending or archiving. The collated logs may contain private information, and if you are at all worried about that, you should not use this tool, or you should explicitly exclude those logs from the archive. xen-bugtool is wholly interactive, so simply run it, and answer the questions.
