[Xen-devel] [PATCH v1 0/6] Add hypervisor sysfs-like support

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

On the 2019 Xen developer summit there was agreement that the Xen
hypervisor should gain support for a hierarchical name-value store
similar to the Linux kernel's sysfs.

This is a first implementation of that idea adding the basic
functionality to hypervisor and tools side. The interface to any
user program making use of that "xen-hypfs" is a new library
"libxenhypfs" with a stable interface.

Changes in V1:
- renamed xenfs ->xenhypfs
- added writable entries support at the interface level and in the
  xenhypfs tool
- added runtime parameter read access (integer type only for now)
- added docs/misc/hypfs-paths.pandoc for path descriptions

Juergen Gross (6):
  docs: add feature document for Xen hypervisor sysfs-like support
  xen: add basic hypervisor filesystem support
  libs: add libxenhypfs
  tools: add xenfs tool
  xen: add /buildinfo/config entry to hypervisor filesystem
  xen: add runtime parameter reading support to hypfs
