That will be the source of the failure. Out of long mode, the upper 32bit of %rip should all be zero, and it should not be possible to set any of them. I suspect that the guest has exited for emulation, and there has been a bad update to %rip. The alternative (which I hope is not the case) is that there is a hardware errata which allows the guest to accidentally get it self into this condition. Are you able to rerun with a debug build of the hypervisor?[snip] Another question is whether prior to enabling the debug USE flag it might make sense to re-compile with gcc-4.8.5 (please see my previous list reply) to rule out any compiler related issues. Jan, Andrew - what are your thoughts?First of all, check whether the compiler makes a difference on 4.5.2 Hi Andrew,I changed the compiler and there was no change to the better: Unfortunately the HVM domU is still crashing with a similar error message as soon as it is being started. As the compiler did not make any difference, I enabled the debug USE flag, re-compiled (using gcc-4.9.3), and rebooted using a serial console to capture output. Unfortunately I did not get very far and things become even stranger: This time the system did not even finnish the boot process, but rather hard-stopped pretty early with a message reading "Panic on CPU 3: DOUBLE FAULT -- system shutdown". The captured logfile is attached as "serial log.txt".If both compiles result in a guest crashing in that manner, test a debug Xen to see if any assertions/errors are encountered just before the guest crashes. As this happened immediately after the CPU microcode update, I thought there might be a connection and disabled the microcode update. After the next reboot it seemed as if the boot process got a bit further as evidenced by a few more lines in the log file (those between lines 136 and 197 in the second log file named "serial log no ucode.txt"), but in the end it finnished off with an identical error message (only the CPU # was different this time, but that number seems to change between boots anyways). I hope that makes some sense to you. Many thanks for your support and best regards Atom2 Attachment:
