[PATCH v7 02/11] KVM: arm64: guest debug, define API headers

Wed Jul 1 11:28:54 PDT 2015


This commit defines the API headers for guest debugging. There are two
architecture specific debug structures:

  - kvm_guest_debug_arch, allows us to pass in HW debug registers
  - kvm_debug_exit_arch, signals exception and possible faulting address

The type of debugging being used is controlled by the architecture
specific control bits of the kvm_guest_debug->control flags in the ioctl
structure.

v2
   - expose hsr and pc directly to user-space
v3
   - s/control/controlled/ in commit message
   - add v8 to ARM ARM comment (ARM Architecture Reference Manual)
   - add rb tag
   - rm pc, add far
   - re-word comments on alignment
   - rename KVM_ARM_NDBG_REGS -> KVM_ARM_MAX_DBG_REGS
v4
   - now uses common HW/SW BP define
   - add a-b-tag
   - use u32 for control regs
v5
   - revert to have arch specific KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_SW/HW_BP
   - rm stale comments dbgctrl was stored as u64
v6
   - mv far comment from later patch
   - KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_HW_BP -> KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_HW
   - revert control regs to u64 (parity with GET/SET_ONE_REG)
