Rebased gdb/debug register patches
Hi,
this is not yet the official submission, but a request for testing:
I'm happy to announce the availability of a rebased patch series to enhance KVM's guest debugging support as well as to add debug register emulation. It was rebased because QEMU mainline recently accepted the core of my corresponding bits and KVM has merged them over. A few patches are still awaiting QEMU merge, and two of them are mandatory to provide a clean foundation for the KVM changes - therefore this intermediate step.
To test the series, checkout the kernel bits from
git://git.kiszka.org/linux-kvm.git gdb-queue
and the user space part from
git://git.kiszka.org/kvm-userspace.git gdb-queue
Early feedback welcome, also before the final submission. And if someone could look into AMD/SVM implementation, this would also be great (unfortunately, there is no customer need for it ATM, thus no resources).
Enjoy,
Jan

Would you mind posting the patches here, to make feedback easier for the reviewers?

I was waiting for the first two of them getting merged into qemu, what has happened yesterday, plus there was one open oddity that is understood and fixed now as well. Will post them later today.
