Bug Description

There is a problem with booting Netscaler image (freebsd based) with MOS 6.0/5.1 (ubuntu). Seems like it dies on attaching keyboard:

atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
fault virtual address = 0x0
fault code = supervisor read data, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x20:0xffffffff808d59ee
stack pointer = 0x28:0xffffffff96376800
frame pointer = 0x28:0xffffffff96376850
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, long 1, def32 0, gran 1

current process = 0 (swapper)
cpu 0 [thread pid 0 tid 100000 ]
Stopped at get_typematic+0x7e: movzwl (%rax),%eax

I was able to workaround this by replacing seabios on the computes with newer version (replaced /usr/share/seabios/bios-256k.bin with https://github.com/qemu/qemu/raw/master/pc-bios/bios-256k.bin)

The above did not fixed the problem under the Ubuntu, so I'm looking for the reasons for this.

This is seems to be caused by the Ubuntu toolchain that generates an incorrect binaries.

If I copy `seabios-1.8.1' (or even 1.7.4) built by CentOS to the Ubuntu host it works fine. With `seabios-1.8.1' build by Ubuntu toolchain FreeBSD fails to run.

Committed fixes are to be cherry-picked to a side branches after merging the mainline.

RCA is the following.

Analysis:
QEMU running `seabios' from the package of versions 1.7.4 and 1.8.1 fails to boot FreeBSD if the `seabios' binaries were compiled with gcc-4.6.3 provided by Ubuntu Precise.

The `seabios' package compiled by default CentOS 6 compiler works fine. The `seabios' package compiled by default Ubuntu Trusty compiler works fine thus rendering Fuel 6.1 unaffected.

Solution:
The `seabios' package for Ubuntu Precise was updated to version 1.8.1 and is now compiled by the `gcc-4.5'. This fixes the FreeBSD boot issue and is not introducing any regressions.

Follow-up:
In case the real root cause is required we should further analyse `seabios' packages built by different gcc versions under Ubuntu Precise.

I would like someone to exactly point releases we want this fix in. Should it be only 6.0-updates and 5.1.1-updates?
