I have been having trouble with reading the extended registers normally read by kvm_get_sregs() on host kernels ~2.6.32 and higher. I am currently running Linux 2.6.32-8, kvm-kmod 2.6.32.8, and qemu 0.12.2. I get the following output when I try info registers on the qemu console: (qemu) info registers EAX=6d63c93d EBX=ffdffc70 ECX=ffdffc70 EDX=00000000 ESI=ffdffc50 EDI=823e7b68 EBP=80550f50 ESP=80550f34 EIP=f8621d3e EFL=00000246 [---Z-P-] CPL=0 II=0 A20=1 SMM=0 HLT=0 ES =3d65 00001000 b772bdf8 3fffe800 DPL=3 Reserved CS =4fe1 b7d59ff4 b7d5b3a0 6b300100 SS =0000 b772bde8 0847ab38 6f300a00 DS =b3d0 b7d5b3cc 00000000 7bffd500 DPL=2 DS [E-A] FS =e008 b7d5b3a0 b7d59ff4 005bb900 DPL=1 CS32 [--A] GS =ffff ffffffff 00000007 7fffff00 DPL=3 CS64 [CRA] LDT=9ff4 b772bde0 00000008 7ffff500 DPL=3 DS [E-A] TR =0000 00000080 b7fb63ab 00f00000 GDT= 00014fe1 00000100 IDT= b7d5b3cc 0000b3d0 CR0=08000101 CR2=00002000 CR3=00000000 CR4=08000101 DR0=00000000 DR1=00000000 DR2=00000000 DR3=00000000 DR6=ffff0ff0 DR7=00000000 FCW=027f FSW=0000 [ST=0] FTW=00 MXCSR=00000000 FPR0=0000000000000000 ffff FPR1=00ff00ff00ff00ff ffff FPR2=0000000000000000 ffff FPR3=00fe000d009900ee ffff FPR4=ff0d9aefff6a604c ffff FPR5=00ff000d009a00ef ffff FPR6=0000000000000000 ffff FPR7=0080008000800080 ffff XMM00= 00000020000000000000000000000001 XMM01=81181ab88055f980e115d00000000020 XMM02=f79092a481181ab8c03845740dd1d000 XMM03=81181ab8c03845740000016d804e93e0 XMM04=c0384574000000000000000100000000 XMM05=e1150000804e7e36f790931400000000 XMM06=806f02980000000000000000c0384574 XMM07=000000028055f62000000080c0384574 Note that cr3 is 0, which doesn't seem possible. The contents of the sregs is also static across invocations of info registers (whereas the "regs" chang), indicating that the values that are there are garbage. Delving deeper, when I check actual invocations of kvm_get_sregs(), it usually returns either 0 or -22, neither value indicating success. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
