At the very least tie this to GDT_ENTRY_BOOT_TSS / __BOOT_TSS? > @@ -64,6 +67,9 @@ ENTRY(pvh_start_xen) > mov %eax,%es > mov %eax,%ss > > + mov $(PVH_CANARY_SEL),%eax > + mov %eax,%gs > + > /* Stash hvm_start_info. */ > mov $_pa(pvh_start_info), %edi > mov %ebx, %esi > @@ -150,6 +156,7 @@ gdt_start: > .quad 0x00cf9a000000ffff /* __BOOT_CS */ > #endif > .quad 0x00cf92000000ffff /* __BOOT_DS */ > + .quad 0x0040900000000018 /* PVH_CANARY_SEL */ Without any further code before loading the selector, this points at physical address 0. Don't you need to add in the base address of the per-CPU stack_canary? Jan
