It would be interesting if you could find out what you have at offset
0x830 of hyp-init.o (the stack trace is for EL1, and is not going to
help much).


Given the alignment, i'm going to assume i'm looking at the right thing:

0000000000000820 <__kvm_hyp_reset>:
820: d51c2000 msr ttbr0_el2, x0
824: d5033fdf isb
828: d50c871f tlbi alle2
82c: d5033f9f dsb sy
830: 10000060 adr x0, 83c <__kvm_hyp_reset+0x1c>
834: b3403c01 bfxil x1, x0, #0, #16
838: d61f0020 br x1
83c: d53c1000 mrs x0, sctlr_el2

but it seems fairly implausible to be trapping on ADR x0, 1f...


I've never seen this panic on fast model...

ESR shows that
- Exception class: Data abort taken without a change in Exception level
- Data fault status code: Translation fault at EL2

and FAR seems not to be a proper address.

... which is consistent with what we're seeing here (data fault on
something that doesn't generate a load/store). I'm pretty sure the
page tables are screwed.

Have you tested it with 64k pages?

Hmm... It seems that I was able to reproduce the problem if 64k pages enabled.

The entry address in trampoline code calc'ed by kvm_virt_to_trampoline(__kvm_hyp_reset)
seems to be wrong due to improper page-alignment in hyp-init.S.
The following patch fixed this problem, at least, in my environment(fast model).
(I don't know why it's PAGE_SHIFT - 1, not PAGE_SHIFT.)

After applying this patch, I got another problem with kexec-tools on 64k page kernel,
but I've already modified kexec-tools.
