Hi Jan,

The point when S3 resumes back, it's running in compat mode.
But the code doesn't differentiate it, as in xen/arch/x86/acpi/wakeup_prot.S.
Maybe we lose some context during the switches which may causes the problem.

When it resumes back, hitting '0' on xen serial console gives us:

Comparing the eip with the dom0 symbol table,
0xc02a9208 -> general_protection
0xc02fd6a0 -> default_exec_domain
0xc0126a47 -> do_no_restart_syscall
>From the stack, such invocation chain is observed.

Any idea what's happening there?

And I also dump the MSR just before and after S3, there're no difference.

They're the same.

And aslo I dump GDT, IDT, LDT and TR register and tss struct, there are no 
difference seen.


So can you give some advice some more registers should be dumped?
Or maybe our S3 code doesn't take the 32dom0 into consideration from the 
beginning, is there anyway to fix this?



Thanks!
