I'm seeing pvgrub crashing when running CTORs. It appears its because
the magic in the linker script is generating junk. If I get ld to
output a map, I see:
.ctors 0x0000000000097000 0x18
0x0000000000097000 __CTOR_LIST__ = .
0x0000000000097000 0x4 LONG 0x25c04
(((__CTOR_END__ - __CTOR_LIST__) / 0x4) - 0x2)
*(.ctors)
.ctors 0x0000000000097004 0x10
/home/jeremy/hg/xen/unstable/stubdom/mini-os-x86_32-grub/mini-os.o
0x0000000000097014 0x4 LONG 0x0
0x0000000000097018 __CTOR_END__ = .
In other words, somehow ((0x97018-0x97000) / 4) - 2 = 0x25c04
The specific crash is that the ctor loop tries to call the NULL
sentinel. I'm seeing the same with the DTOR list.
Avoid this by terminating the loop with the NULL sentinel, and get rid
of the CTOR count entirely.

Minimal OS ---------- This shows some of the stuff that any guest OS will have to set up. This includes: * installing a virtual exception table * handling virtual exceptions * handling asynchronous events * enabling/disabling async events * parsing start_info struct at start-of-day * registering virtual interrupt handlers (for timer interrupts) * a simple page and memory allocator * minimal libc support * minimal Copy-on-Write support * network, block, framebuffer support * transparent access to FileSystem exports (see tools/fs-back) - to build it just type make. - to build it with TCP/IP support, download LWIP 1.3 source code and type make LWIPDIR=/path/to/lwip/source - to build it with much better libc support, see the stubdom/ directory - to start it do the following in domain0 (assuming xend is running) # xm create domain_config This starts the kernel and prints out a bunch of stuff and then once every second the system time. If you have setup a disk in the config file (e.g. disk = [ 'file:/tmp/foo,hda,r' ] ), it will loop reading it. If that disk is writable (e.g. disk = [ 'file:/tmp/foo,hda,w' ] ), it will write data patterns and re-read them. If you have setup a network in the config file (e.g. vif = [''] ), it will print incoming packets. If you have setup a VFB in the config file (e.g. vfb = ['type=sdl'] ), it will show a mouse with which you can draw color squares. If you have compiled it with TCP/IP support, it will run a daytime server on TCP port 13.
