[Xen-devel] managing address space inside paravirtualized guest

[Mike Rapoport <mike.rapoport@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I working on a project that runs in paravirtualized Linux. The
application should have it's own address space that is not managed by
the underlying Linux kernel. I use a kernel module to allocate pages
for the application page table and to communicate the pages physical
and machine physical addresses between the kernel and the application.
The page tables I create in the application seem to be correct and I
can successfully pin them using Xen hypercalls. However, when I try to
set cr3 to point to these page tables with MMUEXT_NEW_{USER}BASEPTR I
get the following error:

(XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S
(XEN) Domain 1 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0:

Any leads how to debug it would be highly appreciated.
