Subject: [PATCH-v2] xen: Don't call arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace in dom0(pvm)
Date: Sun, 07 Apr 2013 13:54:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51610A25.4010301@oracle.com> (raw)

nmi isn't supported in dom0, fallback to general all cpu backtrace code.

Without fix, on xAPIC system, doing sysrq+l, no backtrace is showed,
as xen_send_IPI_all is called and it doesn't support nmi vector.

On x2APIC enabled system, got NULL pointer dereference as below.

    SysRq : Show backtrace of all active CPUs
    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
    IP: [<ffffffff8125e3cb>] memcpy+0xb/0x120
    Call Trace:
     [<ffffffff81039633>] ? __x2apic_send_IPI_mask+0x73/0x160
     [<ffffffff8103973e>] x2apic_send_IPI_all+0x1e/0x20

     [<ffffffff8131616d>] __handle_sysrq+0x7d/0x140
     [<ffffffff81316230>] ? __handle_sysrq+0x140/0x140

     [<ffffffff8116e3e5>] sys_write+0x55/0x90
     [<ffffffff8150a242>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

That's because apic points to apic_x2apic_cluster or apic_x2apic_phys
but the basic element like cpumask isn't initialized.

-v2: Mask x2APIC feature in pvm to avoid overwrite of apic pointer,
     update commit message per Konrad's suggestion.
