Tried changing the l1e by doing this: l1e_write_atomic(&l1t[l1_table_offset(addr)],l1e); unmap_domain_page(l1t); Now it just causes Xen to crash and my computer to reboot. Unfortunately I can only see the output to the log by doing xm dmesg, which gets cleared on every reboot. Are there any efficient techniques to get the latest xm dmesg output to file before the system crashes? -Joe Joe Laws wrote: > I altered the method, "__spurious_page_fault", in "xen/arch/x86/traps.c" > to change a page to present when it is marked as not present.
