Re: [Xen-devel] 32-bit ARM guest on 64-bit ARM Xen

Hello,

Hi Robert,

I was wondering, what is the current state of running a 32-bit ARM guest running
on a 64-bit Xen for ARM. I was working on getting the minios from
https://github.com/talex5/xen/commits/next built and running as a guest on an
emulated Cortex-A53. I have gotten Xen and 64-bit Linux guests running in the
emulated environment, but I ran into some issues with the 32-bit guests.

I used 32-bit kernel on 64-bit hardware recently without no issue. AFAICT, 32-bit guest as always worked on Xen. Which version on Xen are you running?

Also, silly question, does your hardware supports 32-bit instructions? I.e were you able to run Linux 32-bit on baremetal?

When I tried to run them, I got the following:

Parsing config from /etc/xen/mini.cfg
(XEN) Hypervisor Trap. HSR=0x2000000 EC=0x0 IL=1 Syndrome=0x0

This looks like an issue with Xen running on your hardware. EC = 0x0 means "Exception with an Unkwnown reasons".

(XEN) CPU0: Unexpected Trap: Hypervisor
(XEN) ----[ Xen-4.6-unstable  arm64  debug=y  Not tainted ]----
(XEN) CPU:    0
(XEN) PC:     00000000002413c8 schedule_tail+0x248/0x2dc

schedule_tail contains the code to context switch from one domain to another one.

Can you run addr2line on the xen-syms with the address in PC and give the result?

Regards,
