Please help me out with this issue. Is kdb actively supported and in use now?

Hi,

I forgot to mention that the following lines are printed to console after I hit 'go' and start the guest, before I get the error:
[421093.000014] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 30119955364 ns)
(XEN) tmem: all pools frozen for all domains

Does this have to do anything with the error?

Hi,

I am trying to debug some HVM code I wrote for recording and replaying VM execution (on xen-unstable). For this, I set up kdb and a serial connection to another machine. However, most of the times when the breakpoint is hit, a fatal error occurs.

Here's what I'm doing:
bp vmx_intr_assist
go
[Started HVM guest from the other machine. The guest OS is a dummy OS called Pintos.]
*** kdb (Fatal Error on cpu:1 vec:14 Page Fault):
ffff82c4801f473e: int3+1e                        lock bts %rax, 0xe17b9(%rip)

Another example (with the call stack):

The line where the error occurs is in arch/x86/x86_64/entry.S. I couldn't find any way to get Xen back to running after this error happens, so I usually end up doing a forced reboot.
Can someone please shed some light on what's happening? Is there anything I can do differently to get around this?

Thanks,
Daniel.
