      My guess is either this must be related to how threads are being
scheduled on the CPU, or it must be resulting from the timer IRQ not
being delivered to the guest domain.

My bet would be either missing the timer interrupt, or missing
interrupts generally.

Does your platform set the CNTFRQ register in the firmware or does it
use the device-tree clock-frequency node? If it is the latter then
perhaps Julien's patch "xen/arm: Propagate clock-frequency to DOMU if
present in the DT timer node" (commit 59ccb33c40c in the development
branch) would help? Looks like you are using a slightly older version of
the development branch.

     Have you guys seen an issue similar to this before? Or do you have
any advice based on where the DomU kernel is getting stuck?

Hi Ian,

My platform sets the CNTFRQ register during boot-up, so it doesn't come from the device tree. Might this be causing issues later for DomU, or are those issues present only the device tree node is used to set the CNTFRQ register?

    Any ideas on what else may be leading to this issue?

Brandon
