Does shinfo actually point to the right thing?
Looking at your *get_shared_info(void) you have:
xatp.gpfn = malloc_high(sizeof(shared_info));
shared_info = (struct shared_info *)(xatp.gpfn << PAGE_SHIFT);
but malloc_high returns a void * (i.e. a pointer) not an mfn.
I suspect you want:
shared_info = malloc_high(sizeof(shared_info));
xatp.gpfn = ((unsigned long)shared_info >> PAGE_SHIFT);
At least here the compiler produces a clear warning about this issue:
src/xen.c: In function ‘get_shared_info’:
src/xen.c:157: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a
cast
The code in your seabios tree currently produces nearly a page of
warnings. It is very good practice to get into the habit of taking care
of all warnings as soon as they appear, more often than not they
represent are real problem with the code. For example just from skimming
them I can see that a bunch of your debug is not printing what you seem
to think it is.
