           Summary: xen 3.3 unstable: xend segfaults on amd64 when starting
                    a hvm domain
           Product: Xen
           Version: unstable
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2

I'm trying to start a 32-bit windows hvm domU on a 64-bit opensolaris dom0,
using xen 3.3 unstable bits from the
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg
repository (+ some additional fixes for opensolaris).

description: x86: Fix an S3 bug caused by x_firmware_waking_vector


Problem: when I try to start the windows domain, xend (that is, the python
interpreter) crashes with a segfault.  Like this:

# xm create winxp
Using config file "/etc/xen/winxp".
Xend has probably crashed!  Invalid or missing HTTP status code.

Apparently the "regs" pointer passed to the function cpuid(), file
tools/libxc/xc_cpuid_x86.c (%rsi on amd64 / x86_64) is bogus, %rsi has
lost the top 32-bits.

This is because the caller of the cpuid() function has the 64-bit pointer in
%rbx, calls cpuid(), which saves/restores the lower 32-bit of %rbx, but
destroys the upper half.

On amd64 / x86_64, the cpuid() function in tools/libxc/xc_cpuid_x86.c
must save/restore full 64bit %rbx register.
