[Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH][RFC] Emulating real mode with x86_emulate

["Kamble, Nitin A" <nitin.a.kamble@xxxxxxxxx>]

Anthony,
 eip of 0x0 is the right address.

Because the trampoline_Start code is relocated to address 0.

    /* Relocate real-mode trampoline to 0x0. */
    "    mov  $trampoline_start,%esi \n"
    "    xor  %edi,%edi              \n"
    "    mov  $trampoline_end,%ecx   \n"
    "    sub  %esi,%ecx              \n"
    "    rep  movsb                  \n"

Still there is no progress in the emulation. The guest is dying with triple-fault just like before.

Thanks & Regards,

That change was pretty recent so unless it was reverted it should Just Work.

Now I see cr0 is updated after returning from main.
   I enabled the debug log in the xen code now.

It shows cr0 is getting modified. But the eip is still 0x0.
