      @stormi said in XCP-ng 8.3 public alpha 🚀:

      Small Announcement / Testing Guide

      There is a new and easy way for you to help testing XCP-ng 8.3: a few test scripts from the Xen project which deserve to be run on a wide variety of hosts. You don't need to run them on every host if they are truly identical, but it's good to run them on a wide range of hardware.

      The first one is XTF (stands for Xen Test Framework)

      XTF

      Enable HVM FEP on the host. This is not mandatory but if you don't, several tests that require it will be skipped:

      /opt/xensource/libexec/xen-cmdline --set-xen hvm_fep
      reboot
      

      Build XTF

      yum install gcc git -y
      git clone git://xenbits.xen.org/xtf.git
      cd xtf
      make -j8
      

      Run the tests

      # self test
      ./xtf-runner selftest -q --host
      # all tests
      # -q stands for quiet. Remove one or both if you want to see details.
      ./xtf-runner -aqq --host
      # check return code. Should be "3" which means "no failures but some tests were skipped":
      echo $?
      

      There will be a few SKIPPED tests, but there shouldn't be many.

      Known skipped tests:

      • test-hvm32-umip test-hvm64-umip: skipped if the CPU is not recent enough to support UMIP.
      • test-pv64-xsa-167: always skipped
      • test-pv64-xsa-182: skipped in default configuration.

      You can ignore them.

      xen-dom0-tests

      The testsuite is very limited in Xen 4.13, but let's still run what's available.

      Install:

      yum install xen-dom0-tests
      

      Run

      /usr/libexec/xen/bin/test-cpu-policy
      # check return code. Must be 0, otherwise this means there was a failure.
      echo $?
      

      I'm still interested in as many users as possible running this on their hardware.

              @Andrew I pushed a test build of Xen in the testing repository for XCP-ng 8.3, which will hopefully solve the crash situations the tests found on your two servers.

              Quoting @andyhhp about what the crash message means: "The guest has tried to turn on LBR, but I don't know what that means on this CPU" where LBR stands for Last Branch Record and is used for debugging and in anti-cheat software in video games.

              yum clean metadata --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
              yum update xen-dom0-libs xen-dom0-tools xen-hypervisor xen-libs xen-tools --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
              reboot
              

              If I understood correctly, the patches add support for more recent CPUs (Sapphire Rapids) and at the same time make it so that now when guests attempt to turn LBR on, this does nothing (but at least doesn't crash).

                  @Andrew Those are normal.

                  Bad rIP is actually an error introduced in XSA-170 because someone misread the Intel manual. I've been trying to delete it upstream for years now. Its been so long that Intel nearly released a feature which would have required us to delete that check, and I successfully persuaded the Intel documentation team to add a footnote clarifying the statement which was misinterpreted during XSA-170.

                  At some point in my copious free never, I should restart the argument to delete it upstream...

                  The other two are logging from the XSA-260 fix. There's an error(/misfeature) in the x86 architecture and those would have been privilege escalations before the fix was in place. I decided when fixing XSA-260 that such attempts shouldn't be entirely silent, hence the one-liner. That particular printk() is actually common with other debugging routines, so can occur during regular development.

                        Tried on my Intel NUC11ATKC4 with N5105 and 32GB of RAM.

                        spec from Intel site.

                          @rRobbie Thanks. This look like the same crash as discussed just above, with a candidate for a fix provided, if you want to test it. It should be included in the next update of the Xen packages anyway.

                            @stormi Here's results from one of my lab servers. I'll run on some newer hardware next week.

                              Wow! It's been a while I didn't heard about those ones 😄 11 years old CPU, and still usable, impressive 😄

                                I guess the old G5 is getting a little too old to keep running... but it does still work.

                                    @Andrew Intel E5450, that's very retro.

                                    It's also first-gen VT-x and doesn't have HAP, which is why the test that is looking explicitly for HAP doesn't work.

                                    As a stopgap, remove hap from the VARY-CFG := hap shadow line in tests/invlpg/Makefile and rebuild. In the meantime I'll try to figure out a nice way to cope with this.

                                        @stormi Hello.

                                        Just installed the latest patches to the XCP-NG host and did the test again.

                                        Not sure the fix was already included in the packages... So just for your info 😊

                                            So, a few days ago, we pushed the following updates to XCP-ng 8.3:

                                            • guest-templates-json-*: adds Ubuntu Jammy template.
                                            • XAPI updated to version 22.34. Among other things:
                                              • the host's webpage, when accessed on port 80, now automatically redirects to HTTPS on port 443 rather than displaying a 403 Forbidden error. Note that in a future update, port 80 may be completely closed instead.
                                              • I haven't checked yet, but I think this removes the immortal pending xapi events task that a previous update added, while keeping the perk of the previous change, which removed a lot of spurious "INVALID_SESSION" errors from xensource.log (almost anyone having had a look at the logs has seen them).
                                            • xcp-featured: was simply rebuilt for the updated XAPI
                                            • microsemi-smartpqi vendor driver updated to 2.1.20_035
                                            • sudo patched for security issue

                                            No need to re-run the Xen tests if you ran them previously, as Xen wasn't updated in this round of updates. If you haven't yet, then the "let's cover the largest range of hardware possible" action continues.
