Hi Julien,

Hello,


Thanks for the tips. Comments inline...

I struggled to find your comment inline as your e-mail client doesn't quote my answer. Please configure your e-mail client to use some form of quoting (the usual is '>').


Here's the output, truncated since it goes into an infinite loop printing
the same info:

The instruction abort issue looks normal as the mapping is marked as non-executable.

Looking at the rest of bits, bits 55:58 indicates the type of mapping used. The value suggest the mapping has been considered to be used p2m_mmio_direct_c (RW cacheable MMIO). This looks wrong to me because RAM should be mapped using p2m_ram_rw.

Looking at your DT, it looks like the region is marked as reserved. On Xen 4.8, reserved-memory region are not correctly handled (IIRC this was only fixed in Xen 4.13). This should be possible to confirm by enable CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE_DEBUG in your .config.

The option will debug more information about the mapping to dom0 on your console.

However, given you are using an old release, you are at risk at keep finding bugs that have been resolved in more recent releases. It would probably better if you switch to Xen 4.14 and report any bug you can find there.

I added the printk for 'Mem access check' inside the 'case FSC_FLT_PERM' of
the switch (fsc) code following the lookup. That's what you see in the
output above.
So it does seem like there's a memory access fault somehow.

It seems the DOM0 kernel did not get added to the task list….

  From a look at the dump, dom0 vCPU0 has been scheduled and running on
pCPU0.


Boot args for Xen and Dom0 are here:

You want to use earlycon=xenboot here.

FWIW, earlyprintk and earlycon are not understood by Xen. They are only
useful for Dom0.

BTW, to Christopher's point, the dtb did have some issues. I had to hack the
'interrupt-controller' node to get the GICv2 working.
I have attached the .dts file that I'm using.
