Hello!

Latest git tree (updated some hours ago) boots up fine for me, xend can be started etc, but some time after starting kernel compilation I get the following BUG:

Well, that's bad news. It was trying to map a highmem pte page which didn't have the Pinned bit set on its page, but Xen thought it was a pinned pte page. Not sure how it could get into that state, but its indicative of general memory corruption.

What was going on at the time?  Was dom0 busy?  Were you running some domUs?

At that time I was compiling a kernel on dom0.. so dom0 was busy.

No other domains running.
Same thing happened again.. with the latest tree (as of today).

Again I was compiling a kernel in dom0, so dom0 was busy. No other domains
running.

The exact same kernel booted on baremetal without Xen works OK, and doesn't
BUG during kernel compilation.

That's good to know as a baseline, though the bug is Xen refusing to do a pte update, so I'd be surprised if it happened with Xen in the picture ;)

What happens if you disable CONFIG_HIGHPTE?
