The series (for Xen 4.4) improves the kexec hypercall by making Xen
responsible for loading and relocating the image. This allows kexec

from a HVM or PVH privileged domain.
I have now tested this with a Linux kernel image using the VGA console
which was what was causing problems in v9 (this turned out to be a
kexec-tools bug).
The required patch series for kexec-tools will be posted shortly and
are available from the xen-v7 branch of:
In general it works. However, quite often I am not able to execute panic
kernel. Machine hangs with following message:
(XEN) Domain 0 crashed: Executing crash image
gdb shows:
(gdb) bt

Especially second bt line scares me... ;-)))
I have not been able to identify why NMI was activated because
stack is completely cleared. I tried to record execution in gdb
but it stops with following message:
cpumask_clear_cpu (dstp=0xffff82d0802f7f78 <call_data+24>, cpu=0)
at /srv/dev/xen/xen_20130413_20131107.kexec/xen/include/xen/cpumask.h:108
108 clear_bit(cpumask_check(cpu), dstp->bits);
Process record: failed to record execution log.
Do you know how to find out why NMI was activated?
I am able almost always reproduce this issue doing this:
- boot Xen,
- load panic kernel,
- echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger,
- reboot from command line,
- boot Xen,
- load panic kernel,
- echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger.
I am not able to reproduce this on real hardware. Sorry for confusion.
Hence, for whole Xen kexec/kdump series:
