Hello,
Thank you so much for pointing it out. How could I miss something so obvious. I am able to compile it now. I will get back to you in case I get into any issues during run time.

Thank you.

Regards
Ananth

The message says it pretty clearly:  you return the value of ret, but
there are control paths in the function for which ret.task is not set.
 Namely, if list_empty(runq) is true, then you will return an
uninitialized value, which may be anything (garbage on the stack,
NULL, &c).  This will most likely cause Xen to crash, as
xen/common/schedule.c assumes that ret.task will be a valid, non-NULL
pointer.

If you happen to know that runq is never empty, then you don't need
the if statement.  If it may be empty, then you need an else clause to
return the idle vcpu for that processor.
