Package: xen-utils-3.0
Severity: normal
32-bit (i386) xend is completely broken when running on a 64-bit (amd64)
dom0 kernel (under a 64-bit hypervisor). "xend start" gives (in dmesg):
[ 149.356355] ioctl32(xenstored:9100): Unknown cmd fd(19) cmd(00084501){00}
arg(ffffcae8) on /dev/xen/evtchn
[ 149.356628] xenstored[9100]: segfault at 000000000000001c rip
000000000804d6bf rsp 00000000ffffcb00 error 6
[ 149.395409] ioctl32(python:9108): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00185000){00}
arg(ffffc534) on /proc/xen/privcmd
[ 149.395695] ioctl32(python:9108): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00185000){00}
arg(ffffc534) on /proc/xen/privcmd
and then xend just gets an exception and dies.
I guess this bug might ultimately lie in the kernel, which needs to
provide 32-bit ioctl emulation for the Xen ioctls, but the userspace
should at least give a proper _error_, not just segfault/exception out
and die badly.
