Last functional change in 2011, so it isn't a change to the crashing
code itself.
The failing instruction is the port-io hypercall
See: http://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/IN.html
It does a 32bit read to EAX from source port defined in DX.
DX is lowest 16 bit of RDX
We have RDX from the crash: rdx 0x7700005658 511101130328
It is that
The error being "dx" suggests that the source port would be wrong?
That would be 0x5658 or in decimal 22104
I don't know the VMware Hipercall interface - is that source port
reasonable?
That is not getting us anywhere without help I assume :-/
I'll post this reading of the call to the upstream bug.
The question is what happens on this hypercall and/or the call to it that
triggers the bug?
I'm afraid we have to wait for a reproducer due to upstream work on it
or one of the affected chiming in here.
