The serial console is pretty broken on AMD64.  I was
hoping to not have to debug the serial console in
order to fix the IOMMU problem.

Here's the last page or two of messages on my screen:
(all lines prefixed with (XEN))  I hand copied it but
all the values are correct.

Is there a way to turn on more debug information inside the hypervisor

Do you mean on your machine? Serial console works fine on my AMD64
boxes.

Try this in your grub.conf:

title Xen
        kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=512000 acpi=off
com1=19200,8n1,0x3f8,4 console=com1 verbose=y sync_console
        module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xen0 root=/dev/sda1 debug=y
        module /boot/initrd-2.6.12-xen0.img

I'd just figured out the IOPL was too low and was 
about to ask about that.  Thanks for the tip.

I see you assigned just 1GB memory for dom0?

Looks like you are getting the failure at very early initialization
stage. In this case, I think it's better to add prink in Xen, for
example, in emulate_privileged_op(struct cpu_user_regs *regs) to check
it's failing or not.

Thanks!  That works.

Can you be more specific (output from serial connection, for example)?
The outl instruction causes #GP, and the emulator in Xen handle it. So,
it's possible the emulator has a bug?

iommu support on AMD64

[Langsdorf, Mark]

I'm working on getting IOMMU support enabled
for AMD64 in Xen.

The current aperture.c code in dom0 requires 
several calls to read_pci_config() to find 
the AMD northbridge.  These calls are causing 
my system to crash.

read_pci_config() is defined in 
linux-2.6.12-xen0/include/asm-x86_64/pci-direct.h
as

static inline u32 read_pci_config(u8 bus, u8 slot, u8 func, u8 offset)
{
	u32 v;
	outl(0x80000000 | (bus<<16) | (slot<<11) | (func<<8) | offset,
0xcf8);
	v = inl(0xcfc);
	if (v != 0xffffffff)
		PDprintk("%x reading 4 from %x: %x\n", slot, offset, v);
	return v;
}

This a specialized function intended for PCI access 
early in the boot before the PCI subsystem starts 
working.

How can I find the AMD northbridge(s) early in the
dom0 boot sequence without crashing the system?

You probably need to set your IOPL to 1. There's a physdevop hypercall 
for doing that. We execute it during boot but you may be accessing teh 
northbridge earlier than that.
