  • Guest debugging support for KVM (Jan Kiszka) ...
    e22a25c9 
    This is a backport of the guest debugging support for the KVM
accelerator that is now part of the KVM tree. It implements the reworked
KVM kernel API for guest debugging (KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG) which is
not yet part of any mainline kernel but will probably be 2.6.30 stuff.
So far supported is x86, but PPC is expected to catch up soon.

Core features are:
 - unlimited soft-breakpoints via code patching
 - hardware-assisted x86 breakpoints and watchpoints

Changes in this version:
 - use generic hook cpu_synchronize_state to transfer registers between
   user space and kvm
 - push kvm_sw_breakpoints into KVMState

  • target-ppc: Change core powerpc gdbstub bits to be XML-aware ...
    e571cb47 
    Define GDB_CORE_XML and hack things similarly to ARM so that despite the
FP registers coming in between the GPRs and some status registers,
everything works out OK no matter which kind of GDB we're communicating
with.

It matters whether we're built to target 64-bit or 32-bit cores.  I
think there are still problems if we are debugging 32-bit programs on a
built-for-64-bit QEMU (QEMU will always send 64-bit registers), but I
don't know if there's a good way around that at the time being.

  • gdbstub: manage CPUs as threads (Jan Kiszka) ...
    880a7578 
    This patch enhances QEMU's built-in debugger for SMP guest debugging.
Using the thread support of the gdb remote protocol, each VCPU is mapped
on a pseudo thread and exposed to the gdb frontend. This way you can
easy switch the focus of gdb between the VCPUs and observe their states.
On breakpoint hit, the focus is automatically adjusted just as for
normal multi-threaded application under gdb control.

Furthermore, the patch propagates breakpoint and watchpoint insertions
or removals to all CPUs, not just the current one as it was the case so
far. Without this, SMP guest debugging was practically unfeasible.

  • Refactor and enhance break/watchpoint API (Jan Kiszka) ...
    a1d1bb31 
    This patch prepares the QEMU cpu_watchpoint/breakpoint API to allow the
succeeding enhancements this series comes with.

First of all, it overcomes MAX_BREAKPOINTS/MAX_WATCHPOINTS by switching
to dynamically allocated data structures that are kept in linked lists.
This also allows to return a stable reference to the related objects,
required for later introduced x86 debug register support.

Breakpoints and watchpoints are stored with their full information set
and an additional flag field that makes them easily extensible for use
beyond pure guest debugging.

  • Implement "info chardev" command. (Gerd Hoffmann) ...
    5ccfae10 
    This patch makes qemu keep track of the character devices in use and
implements a "info chardev" monitor command to print a list.

qemu_chr_open() sticks the devices into a linked list now.  It got a new
argument (label), so there is a name for each device.  It also assigns a
filename to each character device.  By default it just copyes the
filename passed in.  Individual drivers can fill in something else
though.  qemu_chr_open_pty() sets the filename to name of the pseudo tty
allocated.

Output looks like this:

  (qemu) info chardev
  monitor: filename=unix:/tmp/run.sh-26827/monitor,server,nowait
  serial0: filename=unix:/tmp/run.sh-26827/console,server
  serial1: filename=pty:/dev/pts/5
  parallel0: filename=vc:640x480
