[Xen-devel] apic probe of 2.6.32.41 pv linux

[Jiageng Yu <yujiageng734@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have updated the pv linux kernel from 2.6.32.40 to 2.6.32.41. I
found the generic_apic_probe always led to a kernel panic when I try
to make the minimal DomU kernel.

The 2.6.32.41 pv linux use the new apic probe mechanism:

static __init int xen_safe_probe(void) {
        if (!xen_initial_domain())
                return 0;
        return 1;
}

#ifdef CONFIG_XEN_DOM0
#define xen_initial_domain()    (xen_pv_domain() && xen_start_info->flags
& SIF_INITDOMAIN)
#else  /* !CONFIG_XEN_DOM0 */
#define xen_initial_domain()    (0)
#endif  /* CONFIG_XEN_DOM0 */


If do not define the CONFIG_XEN_DOM0, xen_safe_probe will always
return 0 which causes the kernel panic. For the minimal DomU kernel,
the CONFIG_XEN_DOM0 is needless, and in this scenario, how to pass the
apic probe safely?

Thanks!
