[Xen-devel] hvm crash on hypercall event channel

[Daniel Castro <evil.dani@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I am writing the PV-Drivers for Seabios.

When I put a request on the front ring and issue the hypercall to
notify, the hvm guest crashes.

Here is the dmesg output:

(XEN) realmode.c:116:d10 Failed to emulate insn.

Here is the code for issue the hypercall:
                dprintf(1,"Start notify procedure\n");
                evtchn_send_t send;
                send.port = GET_GLOBALFLAT(bi->port);
                dprintf(1,"In notify before hypercall port is %d = 
%d",send.port);
                //hypercall_event_channel_op(EVTCHNOP_send, &send);
                dprintf(1,"read operation notify res %d\n",
hypercall_event_channel_op(EVTCHNOP_send, &send));
Nothing out of the ordinary. Except that the hypercall is issued under
16bit, It works under 32bit.

Any ideas what could be wrong?
