        Hello


    Hi,

    Please avoid top-posting.

        The patch didn't work in my case.


    The patch will be useful only if the compatible string in the DT of
    your UART is "snps,dw-apb-uart". What is the compatible string for it?

In my case, compatible string is "ns16550a".
Thanks,

Hmmm, looking back at the conversation your dom0 command line is:

console=hvc0,921600n8 earlyprintk=xen debug ignore_loglevel rw root=/dev/mmcblk0p7

earlyprintk=xen will do nothing as there are no Xen specific earlyprintk for Arm. For Dom0, I would recommend to use same same earlyprintk options as you would use on baremetal.

This would allow you to get some early input if the kernel get stuck before the console has been setup.
I have tried your suggestion, I got following crash. It unable find interrupt controller but this kernel working fine without Xen.
Do you have any suggestion?

Furthermore, on a previous e-mail it has been mentioned that your problem might be because Linux will disable what it thinks unused clock. A way to prevent that (at least for debugging) is using add 'clk_ignore_unused' on the Linux command line.

If the 2 suggestions above does not work, then you would have to instrument the kernel. When the hypervisor is build with debug enabled, there are is set a debug hvc provided. A useful one is hvc 0xfffd. For all of them, you can look at do_debug_trap in arch/arm/traps.c.

I hope this will help.
