[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xentrace buffer alignment

[Masaki Kanno <kanno.masaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm working to xentrace execution on ia64 now.

When the "tbuf_size=" option was added,
Xen cannot be booted and show the following messages.

(XEN) About to call init_trace_bufs()
(XEN) Xen trace buffers: initialised
(XEN) About to call schedulers_start dom0=f0000000040ec100, 
idle0_dom=f0000000040d2e10
(XEN) ia64_handle_reflection: reflecting with priv=0!!

Unaligned Reference fault occurred in trace function.
This patch correct alignment of the trace buffer. 

Signed-off-by: Masaki Kanno <kanno.masaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Thanks,
 kan
