The access fault when trying to calculate bzimage_headroom() is back when I use a new version of tboot that has some additional code added to it. Here is a patch that I think more properly fixes the issue (and fixes it for my new, larger tboot) and should prevent it from recurring: diff -r 916ca93a8658 xen/arch/x86/setup.c --- a/xen/arch/x86/setup.c Thu Jan 29 23:40:37 2009 +0000 +++ b/xen/arch/x86/setup.c Fri Jan 30 00:09:27 2009 -0800 @@ -417,7 +417,7 @@ void __init __start_xen(unsigned long mb unsigned int initrdidx = 1; multiboot_info_t *mbi = __va(mbi_p); module_t *mod = (module_t *)__va(mbi->mods_addr); - unsigned long nr_pages, modules_length, modules_headroom = -1; + unsigned long nr_pages, modules_length, modules_headroom; unsigned long allocator_bitmap_end; int i, e820_warn = 0, bytes = 0; struct ns16550_defaults ns16550 = { @@ -618,6 +618,12 @@ void __init __start_xen(unsigned long mb */ modules_length = mod[mbi->mods_count-1].mod_end - mod[0].mod_start; + /* ensure mod[0] is mapped before parsing */ + bootstrap_map(mod[0].mod_start, mod[0].mod_end); + modules_headroom = bzimage_headroom( + (char *)(unsigned long)mod[0].mod_start, + (unsigned long)(mod[0].mod_end - mod[0].mod_start)); + for ( i = boot_e820.nr_map-1; i >= 0; i-- ) { uint64_t s, e, mask = (1UL << L2_PAGETABLE_SHIFT) - 1; @@ -720,11 +726,6 @@ void __init __start_xen(unsigned long mb "D" (__va(__pa(cpu0_stack))), "c" (STACK_SIZE) : "memory" ); } #endif - - if ( modules_headroom == -1 ) - modules_headroom = bzimage_headroom( - (char *)(unsigned long)mod[0].mod_start, - (unsigned long)(mod[0].mod_end - mod[0].mod_start)); /* Is the region suitable for relocating the multiboot modules? */ if ( !initial_images_start && (s < e) && Signed-off-by: Joseph Cihula <joseph.cihula@intel.com> Sorry for the churn in the code.
