Fix the polling section of the hvc driver to use the global "last_hvc" variable, rather than the ttys. With this change debugging a xen dom0 kernel is possible via the following kernel parameter: kgdboc=hvc0 Signed-off-by: Ben Guthro <Benjamin.Guthro@citrix.com> diff --git a/drivers/tty/hvc/hvc_console.c b/drivers/tty/hvc/hvc_console.c index 2d691eb..3750e74 100644 ---

hi, I am wondering if anybody is doing Xen or Dom0 debugging with gdb here. If yes, could you show me the procedure of doing that? Thanks, Neo -- I would remember that if researchers were not ambitious probably today we haven''t the technology we are using! _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Is there any way (short of not patching it into the kernel) to turn KDB off on a given machine? There are some machines I do not want dropping into kdb when/if it oopses. Thanx, b.

Box with fresh RELENG_7 panic under heavy network load (more than 50k connections). This panics seems to be senfile(2) related, because when sendfile disabled in nginx, I can't reproduce the problem.

Hello, There it is, all my computers on FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE had panic. I can just say there is a problem in the 9.1-RELEASE because I had no panic before. What afraid me is that my production server also panic'ed a few days ago, fortunately it does not appears so often. This is a panic that happened on my desktop computer, with a graphic card. The crash usually appears when X starts. GNU

Hello, Since FreeBSD 9.1 I have strange problems with the distribution. Some servers are rebooting without any kernel panic, instanly. First i thought it's a problem with my KVM system, but one of my FreeBSD under a Dell R210 have the same problem. The servers concerned are now: - Monitoring server - LDAP test server - Some other servers, randomly (not in production). First i thought it's

I'm running 9.2-RC4 on a handful of desktop and server machines (both i386 and amd64). I have seen three panics (all vm_page_unwire) on one of those systems only (amd64 server) during the past week. The first two panics were triggered when shutting down the ntpd daemon (a recent development snapshot version of ntpd: 4.2.7p387). Exiting a later release (p388) has not triggered the panic.

Hi, I have been trying to debug Xen using kdb. However, I am unable to successfully boot dom0 after compiling and installing kdb. Software/hardware config: Base distribution - Debian Lenny (64-bit) on a Dell desktop (Optiplex 780) with a serial cable to another machine. Xen 4.0.1 (without kdb) works fine. Here are the steps I followed to set up Xen-unstable with kdb. 1. Cloned code from

Hi Guys, Thanks for the interest in the xen hypervisor debugger, prev known as kdb. Btw. I''m gonna rename it to xdb for xen-debugger or hdb for hypervisor debugger. KDB is confusing people with linux kdb debugger and I often get emails where people think they need to apply linux kdb patch also... Anyways, attaching patch that is cleaned up of my debug code that I accidentally left in

Please give me some pointers... Thanks a lot!

9.2 PRERELEASE (today) / amd64 Hello, I'm seeing a panic while trying to build a poudriere repository. As far I can see it always happens when gam_server is started (ie xfce is running) and under disk load (poudriere bulk build) : (That is something new, the box was pretty stable) the complete crash dump (core.0.txt) is here: http://user.lamaiziere.net/patrick/panic_gam_server.txt Fatal

I admit I was scepticle of this suggestion - but it actually seems to have worked. COmpiling a straight GENERIC kernel with KDB and DDB included do seem to have made my irq22 interrupt storms go away. Certainly I have spent some time trying to provoke the problem and not managed to make it read it's ugly head again. The thing is though, this doen't make me particularly happy - as I am

There is a patch for xen linux 2.6.10 that enables kdb. It works with the xen 2.0.3 and xen-2.0-testing. (I intend to keep it current with 2.0-testing, but I can''t guarantee instant currency every time there are changes to the test branch.) The patch and a brief HOWTO are located at http://www.ncultra.org/xen/kdb/ kdb works with both privileged and unprivileged kernels. Mike --

Hello, I'm experiencing a kernel panic that appears to be caused by zfs. No errors are making it into /var/log/messages, but here is the error message that appears on my screen after panic (transcribed): panic solaris assert BSWAP_32(sa_hdr_phys->sa_magic) == SA_MAGIC, file: /src/sys/modules/zfs/../../cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/sa.c, line 1262 I can reproduce this by

Did cvsup on a machine that does just mail processing (well, a lot of spam scanning) and it crashed not too much later. This kernel does not include MFC src/sys/kern/sys_process.c revisions 1.111 and 1.112: Use kmem_alloc_nofault() rather than kmem_alloc_pageable() in procfs_rwmem().

Hello! My attempt to build openoffice.org-3 seems to be hanging. Pressing Ctrl-T produces: load: 0.11 cmd: tcsh 79759 [sleeping without queue] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 0k (tcsh is used by OOo's build-script).

Does anyone happen to know the correct version of kgdb to use for debugging the 2.6.9 kernel? Version 2.4 is apparently for the 2.6.15 kernel, and version 2.2 is for the 2.6.13 kernel, but I've read all the way through the documentation and nowhere does it say which kgdb goes with which kernel.
