Here is my trace, I was not able to get the Code line unfortunately so I don't have specific line numbers. I'd like re-confirmation this is not specific to Xen. If it is not I will be sending this over to LKML.

There are no Xen-specific functions in the backtrace. This doesn't mean it isn't a Xen bug (since we make various pervasive functions that are used all over the place) but it does make it less likely. Certainly there's nothing in the backtrace that we can use to track down the bug. We would need a line number, or a kernel image or something like that.


I'll try to get the Code line next time. Is there a more preferred method than using ksymoops? It seems ksymoops is depreciated as a /proc/ksyms doesn't even exist on my system and Fedora has stopped shipping RPM's for it. I do have the vmlinux file and System.map if that would help.

Sometimes the panic includes xen_idle, ex:

I have the Code line for this, but unfortunately I do not have the System.map that corresponds to this particular kernel.
