All of these steps succeed (the hypercall returns 0, and the argument indicating how many updates succeeded is 1 in both cases). But later, when switching into the context of this process, I try to update the user base pointer with

HYPERVISOR_mmuext_op({MMUEXT_NEW_USER_BASEPTR, mfn of P}...).

Only x86/64 has a separate USER_BASEPTR. You want to use just MMUEXT_NEW_BASEPTR.

When I use that, the domain immediately crashes. I would have expected a page fault, since the page tables aren't actually set up yet, but I don't even get that. (It's possible that it faulted again trying to load the fault handler.)

/var/log/xen/xend.log doesn't say much useful, other than that the domain crashed. Is there a way to tell why a domain crashed (i.e. executing an illegal instruction, or triple fault, or something like that)?

Thanks,
Dave
