Subject: [PATCH] xenpv: don't BUG when failing to setup NMI callback
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2014 13:26:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1402658788-24477-1-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
some old Xen hypervisors (prior to 3.2) forbid DomUs to register
NMI callbacks. E.g. we have the following code in xen-3.1:
if ( (d->domain_id != 0) || (v->vcpu_id != 0) )
return -EINVAL;
Commit 6efa20e49b9cb1db1ab66870cc37323474a75a13 introduced kernel
crash in case PV guest fails to register NMI callback. All x86_64
PV guests will fail to boot on top of such hypervisors (RHEL5
example):
(XEN) traps.c:405:d7 Unhandled invalid opcode fault/trap [#6] in domain 7 on VCPU 0 [ec=0000]
(XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S
(XEN) Domain 7 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#3:

(XEN) ds: 0000 es: 0000 fs: 0000 gs: 0000 ss: e02b cs: e033
...
However it is possible to proceed without NMI callback registered.
Change BUG() with warning in case of -EINVAL.
