Would it be possible to map the eip and some top parts of the stack back

Can you tell me how, or show me some pointers?

Do "nm -n vmlinux" on the kernel to set an address sorted list of symbols, and then look to see what's near the eip (c037c0c7) and near the top of the stack (c0100add, c0378980, c0101962, ...). Some of these may be in data, or other strange places, but the ones which correspond to code are interesting.

Scenario 2 (have_vcpu_info_placement = 0)
--------------------------------------------------------------

test1: no crash
test2: no crash, but occationally I still get funny output like this

00AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ
00AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ00AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ
00AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ
00AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ
0000AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ
00AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ
00AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ
000AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ
000AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ
00AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ

Hm, I guess some of the output is getting dropped. Does this happen
with 2.6.18-xen?

yes it does

OK, good. I Didn't Break It (tm) ;)
