I'm seeing the same behavior I previously reported against
xen-3.0-testing changeset 8259, albeit much more sporadically, on Xen
3.0.2 (with a 2.6.16.16 kernel built via the Gentoo Xen packages). I'd
use stock XenSource binaries, but last I checked they don't have
support for some of my hardware (ie. the 3w9xxx driver).
Hints on anything I can do to provide more detailed information (in
the hopes of actually getting this fixed) would be welcome.
Does it always crash in __dequeue_signal()? You might have to add some
tracing in there to find out exactly which part of the function it is
crashing in.
Okay. I've rebuilt against a debug-enabled kernel, and (on getting
another panic) decompiled vmlinux to try to match the instructions it's
failing in to an individual line.
The crash appears to be occurring in this second instruction generated
associated with kernel/signal.c:1976 (from Linux-2.6.16.16+Xen 3.0.2):
kernel/signal.c:1976

My x86 assembler is tremendously rusty, but it looks to me like
return_ka (which is passed in as a parameter to get_signal_to_deliver)
points somewhere it shouldn't.
This parameter is passed in from arch/x86_64/kernel/signal.c's
do_signal(), where it's declared as a function-local variable with its
home on the stack. The code all looks fine at a glance -- but since the
top of the stack is at ffff88013e87fe18, it doesn't make much sense for
a variable living on the stack defined just a few calls ago to be at
7c51186269a192da. I'm guessing there's some kind of funky race condition
going on -- but beyond that vague assertion, I'm pretty much lost.
Ideas, anyone?
