Re: [Xen-devel] unstable changeset 16667 introduced regression

[Keir Fraser <Keir.Fraser@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you explain the scenario in more detail? Do you mean the EIP has not
been incremented past the 0xcc opcode? I think the change from
set_system_gate() to set_intr_gate() in that patch is very dubious, now I
take another look at it. I should probably at least revert that, as it's
probably causing guest INT3s to be delivered to Xen as GPFs, with no
corresponding increment of EIP.

I can't see how any other change in the patch would affect guest execution
when gdbstub is not involved as almost all other changes are to gdbstub
code. And probably you are not building Xen with crash_debug=y?
