I have been using the kernel of FreeBSD 9.0 GENERIC on a NetBSD 6 (BETA2/RC1) Xen 4.1 HVM host for some time using emulated IDE/SCSI devices. But I wanted to try to reduce the overhead of disk I/O and hopefully increase performance. When I rebuilt the kernel with XENHVM config options, it would panic at boot. The kernel of FreeBSD 9.1-RC1 has the same problem. With xen_platform_pci=0 it will boot okay (but then I'd still be unable to use any PV devices). > xenbusb_front0: on xenstore0 > > Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode [...] > #0 0xffffffff8082a861 at kdb_backtrace+0x64 > #1 0xffffffff807f872d at panic+0x1c4 > #2 0xffffffff80a8a10d at trap_fatal+0x39d > #3 0xffffffff80a8a24f at trap_pfault+0x124 > #4 0xffffffff80a8a933 at trap+0x3d3 > #5 0xffffffff80a76f6f at calltrap+0x8 > #6 0xffffffff80a5b26f at xs_directory+0x71 > #7 0xffffffff80a5b29c at xs_exists+0x15 > #8 0xffffffff80a58911 at xenbusb_add_device+0xae > #9 0xffffffff80a595d7 at xenbusb_front_enumerate_type+0x5d > #10 0xffffffff80a58e32 at xenbusb_attach+0xf9 > #11 0xffffffff80a59614 at xenbusb_front_attach+0x15 > #12 0xffffffff808265a6 at device_attach+0x337 > #13 0xffffffff80826ab3 at device_probe_and_attach+0x22 > #14 0xffffffff80826c24 at bus_generic_attach+0x1a > #15 0xffffffff80a5a051 at xs_attach_deferred+0x21 > #16 0xffffffff80820a9a at run_interrupt_driven_config_hooks+0xea > #17 0xffffffff80820b37 at boot_run_interrupt_driven_config_hooks+0x16 I seem to have traced this to the (inlined) split() function being given a zero-length string from xs_directory() and it does not handle that well. So I came up with this workaround which results in a successful boot and has been running fine (with PV disks and network interface) for over a week now: --- kfreebsd-9-9.0.orig/sys/xen/xenstore/xenstore.c 2011-09-21 00:44:34.000000000 +0100 +++ kfreebsd-9-9.0/sys/xen/xenstore/xenstore.c 2012-08-29 18:10:13.026462720 +0100 @@ -306,6 +306,10 @@ { const char **ret; + /* :XXX: */ + if (len < 1) + return (NULL); + /* Protect against unterminated buffers. */ strings[len - 1] = '\0'; I'm still not sure sure why xs_directory() is trying to split a zero-length string, if that's normal or if the Xen host is doing something odd.

The kernel this person has built works for me, but when I try to build my own and boot it in pv-grub, i get: can only boot x86 32 PAE kernels, not xen-3.0-x86_32 Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format The kernel I built was a copy of XEN from 9-stable and has "options PAE" in the config. Does anyone have any idea why this kernel wont boot?
