[Xen-devel] XEN 4.5, odroid-xu, domU

[Suriyan Ramasami <suriyan.r@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings!

   Thanks for the previous help wrt my attempts at getting XEN running
with dom0 on an exynos5410 based Odroid-XU.
   Currently, Things are OK with having a single CPU enabled.

   Previously, there was an issue with having to pass the Arch timer
frequency having to be passed through the DTS. I did successfully
update the Arch timer frequency in u-boot with the help of a modified
trustzone. It is still experimental, but the end result is that CNTFRQ
is read as 24000000 as required and not 0.

   Pursuing further, I am having issues starting a domU kernel. In all
the documentation I always find the dtb appended to the kernel. I am
refraining from doing so.

My domU config file:
root@odroid-desktop:~# cat vmTest.cfg
kernel = "/root/zImage.dom0"
memory = 512
name = "domuTest"
vcpus = 1
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/loop0,xvda,w' ]
extra = "console=hvc0 root=/dev/xvda debug rw"

I am using the same kernel which is running as dom0.

I create domU with: xl create vmTest.cfg
It creates is fine but then the domU kernel immediately crashes.

root@odroid-desktop:~# xl create vmTest.cfg -d

My question, is how do I go about debugging this, as I do not get any
output nor a stack trace or anything in the XEN console.

The link: 
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions#Common_DomU_Pitfalls
points at one such case where I could hit the issue. I do not have
CONFIG_DEBUG_LL set, but looks awefully similar to what is being
described. So, most probably this is the issue, as I do not see any
output as well.

Any and all help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks
- Suriyan
