The thing is, the crash makes little sense at first sight. We crash on a
benign-looking printk. The code around it got changed in -tip but
checking those topic branches individually did not reproduce the bug.
Bisection led to this commit:
| d5edbc1f75 is first bad commit

| xen: add p2m mfn_list_list
Which is somewhat surprising, as on native hardware Xen client side
should have little to no side-effects.
After some head scratching, it turns out the following happened:
randconfig enabled the following Xen options:
CONFIG_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY=8
# CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND is not set
# CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND is not set
CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y
# CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON is not set
which activated this piece of code in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c:
> @@ -69,6 +69,13 @@
> __attribute__((section(".data.page_aligned"))) =
> { [ 0 ... TOP_ENTRIES - 1] = &p2m_missing[0] };

> +
> +static unsigned long p2m_top_mfn_list[TOP_ENTRIES / P2M_ENTRIES_PER_PAGE]
> + __attribute__((section(".bss.page_aligned")));
The problem is, you must only put variables into .bss.page_aligned that
have a _size_ that is _exactly_ page aligned. In this case the size of
p2m_top_mfn_list is not page aligned:
80b8d000 b p2m_top_mfn
80b8f000 b p2m_top_mfn_list
80b8f008 b softirq_stack
80b97008 b hardirq_stack
80b9f008 b bm_pte
So all subsequent variables get unaligned which, depending on luck,
breaks the kernel in various funny ways. In this case what killed the
kernel first was the misaligned bootmap pte page, resulting in that
creative crash above.
Anyway, this was a fun bug to track down :-)
I think the moral is that .bss.page_aligned is a dangerous construct in
its current form, and the symptoms of breakage are very non-trivial, so
i think we need build-time checks to make sure all symbols in
.bss.page_aligned are truly page aligned.
The Xen fix below gets the kernel booting again.

This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration.
Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in
drivers/xen/manage.c. When a suspend request comes in, the kernel
prepares itself for saving by:
1 - Freeze all processes. This is primarily to prevent any
partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend
process. If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary.
2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices
3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent. The
Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0.
4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under
construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other
pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally
5 - Suspend the domain
Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all
the frozen processes are thawed.

When saving a domain, the Xen tools need to remap all our mfns to

When using sparsemem and memory hotplug, the kernel's pseudo-physical
address space can be discontigious. Previously this was dealt with by
having the upper parts of the radix tree stubbed off. Unfortunately,
this is incompatible with save/restore, which requires a complete p2m
table.
The solution is to have a special distinguished all-invalid p2m leaf
page, which we can point all the hole areas at. This allows the tools
to see a complete p2m table, but it only costs a page for all memory
holes.
It also simplifies the code since it removes a few special cases.

Add a config option to set the max size of a Xen domain. This is used
to scale the size of the physical-to-machine array; it ends up using
around 1 page/GByte, so there's no reason to be very restrictive.
For a 32-bit guest, the default value of 8GB is probably sufficient;
there's not much point in giving a 32-bit machine much more memory
than that.

Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first
console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one
behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is).
This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the
PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is
merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the
Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the
kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3dfbc
did that for us.
Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty
again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to
enable the Xen console as well.
Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is
enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup
game is over.
Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred
console. Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes
successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.
