I''m having trouble switching into user mode with my domU kernel -- everytime I call __HYPERVISOR_iret, the hypervisor calls into my kernel via the registered callback handler. None of the bits in the event channel pending arrays are set. If I return via the iret call, the hypervisor immediately calls back into the handler. The user RIP never changes, so it is clearly not making forward

I''m porting a light weight kernel to run under the Xen hypervisor and have run into a problem while trying to switch to my page tables on x86-64. After a minor problem with switching to the new PML4 table that was cleared up when Mark Williamson suggested mapping everything read-only in the current map before switching, as well as switching the memory management code to use the

I''m to porting a lightweight kernel to Xen 3.0.4-x86_64 and have run into a problem while setting the PML4. Xen complains that it has a bad type of ''PGT_writable_page'' (e8000001), while it expects 80000000. However, I''m almost certain that this is not the case. I added a routine to do a depth first search of the four page table levels looking for this machine
