Hi, Ke.
Thanks for the tip. Your page fault appears to be after the hypercall. On
my system the hypercall is at setup_xen_features+40. Your page fault is at
setup_xen_features+0x43. I'm running on a 64-bit OS, so I would expect my
code for setup_xen_features to be a little larger than the 32-bit version.
That would mean the hypercall on the 32-bit version would be at or before
offset 0x40. So I thing yours is page faulting after the hypercall.
Also, the error code in your oops indicates the fault was caused by a write
to a non-present page while in supervisor mode. That's different from the
execution fault that I am seeing.
I'll be aware that once I fix the fault on the hypercall that I might run
into another page fault soon thereafter.
Steve D.
