Panic on boot on Sun Blade 6270

Panic on boot on Sun Blade 6270

Hi All,

I'm getting the attached panic in the hypervisor on a Sun 6270 running
xen-testing.hg changeset 19913:6063c16aeeaa.  I can run xen-3.3.1 from
the standard SLES 11 distribution (which says that it's changeset
18546 but it has many patches).  Any ideas?

thanks,
dan

Also setting noapic and acpi=off does not change the panic...

RE: Re: Panic on boot on Sun Blade 6270

[Jiang, Yunhong]

Why it will fail on 0xffff828bfffff0e0 ? I try to build 19913 and seems it should be 0xffff828bffffe0e0.
If you can paste your objdump output for init_apic_ldr_phys, maybe it will be helpful.
BTW, if SLES 11 works for you, why not continue that?

I don't quite understand why we have such different addresses.  I'm
thinking maybe I built it wrong or something.  I built it with debug
set to 'y' in Config.mk, then just did 'make dist', copied the
resultant 'dist' directory to the test machine and ran 'sh
./install.sh' on the target machine, and rebooted with:

ugh.. long story.  It works in the sense that it boots and can run
VMs.  My problem is that I'm trying to get the board that our company
makes to work in an HVM guest properly..  *something* is messing with
my board's PCI bar registers and I cannot figure out what it is.  I
added printks to all the kernel functions which touch the BAR
registers and to the pciback driver as well, but neither of these is
occurring, so I figured the problem is in qemu, but to test that I
need to be able to compile it.  I thought that the easiest path there
would simply to compile the latest stuff, but it panicked early in the
hypervisor so I thought that I'd report it...

thanks,
dan

RE: Re: Panic on boot on Sun Blade 6270

[Jiang, Yunhong]

The only possibility I can see is changeset 18722 is missed from your build.
So you are really clone a CLEAN xen tree and do the build from scratch?

yes... I cloned xen-testing-3.4.hg.  I'm not proficient enough with hg

Re: Re: Panic on boot on Sun Blade 6270

I guess that I can try and redo everything again.  I've been working
with xen a grand total of two weeks, so I'm a little confused about
the building process.  Do you have to somehow build xen against the
kernel that you are going to use or can you just use the default
2.6.18 kernel which gets downloaded automatically?  Like I said, I
just cloned the repo (xen-testing-3.4.hg) and ran 'make dist'.  Since
it's panicking so early in the hypervisor I didn't think that it could
possibly be due to some kernel difference.  Also, is it expected that
the default .hg tree xen will *just work* on a SLES distro by running
install.sh or do you need a bunch of SuSE specific patches?

thanks

Xen hypervisor and tools can be built separately from the dom0 kernel.

You could just grab the latest xen-3.4-testing.hg and do:

make xen
make tools
make stubdom

Now the compiled xen+tools+stubdom is in dist/ directory.

make install-xen
make install-tools
make install-stubdom

After that you could grab whatever dom0 kernel, compile and install it.

latest 2.6.18-xen.hg:
hg clone http://xenbits.xen.org/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg

Or instructions for 2.6.31 / 2.6.32 pv_ops dom0 here:

Thanks for the tips Pasi.. I guess I did pretty much that, but I just
did a 'make dist' and built everything including the 2.6.18 kernel, I
moved everything to the test machine and ran 'sh ./install.sh' and
added a grub line to boot the new xen:

title Xen-3.4.3-rc1.dan -- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 -
2.6.27.19-5 (xen).dan
   root (hd0,0)
   kernel /xen-3.4.3-rc4-pre.gz crashkernel=128M@16M iommu=1
loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all console=vga,com1 com1=auto
   module /vmlinuz-2.6.27.19-5-xen.dan root=/dev/dm-5
resume=/dev/dm-2 splash=silent showopts console=ttyS0,115200 quiet
   module /initrd-2.6.27.19-5-xen.dan

so it should use the new hypervisor (xen-3.4.3-rc4-pre.gz) but the
original SLES 11 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.19-5-xen.dan ( the stock
kernel with a couple of printks thrown in).

This boots to the kernel, but then it locks up the machine when it
tries to bring the networking up:

I would have been tempted to analyze this (given that it may point
out a general problem with the SLE11 kernel) if this wasn't a kernel
that you built on your own and if this wasn't a really old one. I
would guess that it's not only a couple of added printk()-s, but also
a different .config that you're using. Namely (not having seen the
disassembly of your kernel's profile_pc()) I could easily imagine
this oops to be a result of you building with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y.

:)... Yes I did build with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y.  I guess I
considered the panic more incidental... Really the problem was that
the machine locked up on boot.  I didn't realize that
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER could cause a panic.. I thought that it just
turned on using the frame pointer register so that backtraces would
work.

I tried to install the xen 3.4.1 from the SuSE rpms after this and
also could not get that to work.  That too would panic on boot up.  I
tried to install the xen 4.0.0 rpms, but quickly ran into prerequisite
problems and just gave up and went back to using xen 3.3.1, building
it from the SRPMS (I still cannot get anything to work just building
it from the xen hg repo).

I realize that this Sun box is probably pretty funky (it's a PCI
express module based machine) so it might have some peculiar issues
that would be of interest, but I've got to figure this other issue out
first because I have customers on my back.  If you are interested,
Jan, I can go back and get the backtrace from the 3.4.1 panic, but if
SLES 11 is too old to try and debug I'll just forget about it..

If there's time later and there is more recent stuff that we can try
and test, let me know what it is and I can give it a go.

thanks,
dan

Our kernels have working backtraces without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER,
which is why we are (happily) disabling this option.

It definitely shouldn't.

So are you saying even plain SLE11 doesn't work on that box? If so,
why didn't you report this to our support folks yet?

As said above - it's supposed to work (both with the 3.3.1 that SLE11
ships with [or really, with the most recent maintenance updates in
place for both kernel and Xen] and upstream versions down to 3.2.0).
The only limitation I know about for certain (Sun?) systems is that
not all interrupts may be usable by their devices/drivers. That
limitation goes away only with 4.0 (i.e. earlier upstream versions
won't - afaict - get you anywhere either if this is the case).

No, I'm not saying that.. SLES 11 + Xen 3.3.1 "works" (yes I have a
problem with it, but I'm still trying to figure it out).  In trying to
figure out my other problem I wanted to upgrade Xen to something later
but was not having any luck building and installing Xen from the hg
repo.  So I went to download.suse.com and downloaded the Xen 3.4.1
SRPMS, used rpmbuild to build the RPMS, installed those and that
panics on boot.  I could not install the 4.0.0 RPMs because there were
conflicts with the required prerequisites and what I already
installed, so I gave up.

I haven't reported the 3.4.1 crash just because:
1) I just found it a couple of days ago.
2) I don't have a support contract.
3) I'm really busy trying to solve the issue with my board.

So we should be able use 4.0 on SLES 11 somehow?  How can I install a
newer Xen on this system.  The only way that I can get anything to
work that I compile from source is using the Xen 3.3.1 SRPM and using
rpmbuild to build the RPMs from that.  With that I can also modify the
3.3.1 Xen a bit to add printfs and the like to actually debug the
problem with my board (although that process is a total pain).

Is it possible to build something from the hg Xen repo and install it
on the SLES 11 system and have it work?  There seem to be a lot of
suse specific patches in the SRPMs, but I haven't gone through them to
see what they are all about...

thanks

Reporting 3.4.1 problems there wouldn't be accepted anyway. This
was just under the (now known wrong) assumption that the shipped
hypervisor also wouldn't work.

I think you better forget rpm here. Extract the Xen tarball and run
"make xen tools" followed by (as root) "make install-xen" and possibly
(if you don't care overwriting files coming from the Xen RPMs, and if
you're prepared to sort out eventual inconsistencies)
"make install-tools" (I generally avoid doing the latter).

Quite a number of them are backports of upstream changesets. But
of course there are also (too) many that don't have upstream
equivalents. Nevertheless, running newer upstream Xen underneath
SLE11 (or other SuSE) kernels is supposed to work (I occasionally
find myself needing to do this).

So I tried it all over again from scratch with the xen-testing.hg tree
at commit  19924 and it doesn't panic any more.  It gets to booting
the kernel, then locks up when trying to bring the networking up, but
at least it doesn't have the same panic anymore.

Sorry about the false alarm. I probably gaffed something with hg on
the previous go round..

thanks

The system has quiet a few CPUs which puts Xen into 'bigsmp' mode, and maybe
there is a problem initialising that. Will have to try to reproduce this.
