commit ef5dd8ec88ac11e8e353164407d55b73c988b369 upstream.
The xencons_connect_backend() function allocates a local interdomain
event channel with xenbus_alloc_evtchn(), then calls
bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi() to bind to that port# on the
*remote* domain.
That doesn't work very well:
(qemu) device_add xen-console,id=con1,chardev=pty0
[ 44.323872] xenconsole console-1: 2 xenbus_dev_probe on device/console/1
[ 44.323995] xenconsole: probe of console-1 failed with error -2
Fix it to use bind_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi(), which does the right thing
by just binding that *local* event channel to an irq. The backend will
do the interdomain binding.
This didn't affect the primary console because the setup for that is
special — the toolstack allocates the guest event channel and the guest
discovers it with HVMOP_get_param.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
