Attached are a full backtrace from domU generated by Xorg, and a
assembler dump of function 'sse2_blt'.
Just FYI: Looks like I can repro this finally, and it also looks like
at
least for me it isn't an SSE2 instruction that the issue is with.
Instead I'm getting an #UD in the middle of an instruction a few
lines down from the last SSE2 one, which suggests we're having
an issue with sizing instructions (however odd that may seem).
Now that I can repro it, at least I have something to actually
debug ...

I have patched Xen 4.6.1 with commit
2bb230972c5ddb1ca823f47750b5d46a9d302d0e
(x86emul: suppress writeback upon unsuccessful MMX/SSE/AVX insn
emulation) and
tested with different Linux distros. I can say with confidence that the
patch
has solved my initial problem as Xorg no longer segfaults when started.
Thanks
to everyone that has helped with this.
However, while testing I have found a new problem. This may not be
related to
my initial problem or even Xen, but I will try to describe it here as
I'm hoping
someone can point me in the right direction.
Various actions will now raise the CPU usage of Xorg to 100% and freeze
the
entire X Window System for some time. E.g.:
Starting xterm in a window manager or directly from .xinitrc and
executing
dmesg. This will print a few lines per second while the Xorg CPU usage
is 100%
and the X Window System is frozen for about 60 seconds until all dmesg
output
has been printed.
I have run 'perf record -g -a sleep 60' while connected via SSH and then
executed dmesg in xterm. I have attached a few lines of 'perf report -g'
with
the first one expanded.
I have also run 'strace -p $(pidof Xorg)' while dmesg was running in
xterm. The
lines I have attached will repeat until all dmesg output has been
printed. File
descriptor 8 is pointing on '/dev/dri/card0'.
Any ideas on what could cause this?
