[PATCH 0/2] KVM: x86: Emulated I/O and data breakpoints support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch-set adds data and I/O breakpoints support on emulated instructions
to KVM. The first patch just adds a missing definition and all the logic is in
the second one.

These patches were implemented as part of a university project, and then
cleaned and rebased on the latest KVM by me. I have some concerns about their
impact on performance, so it is possible to add a fast-patch for the case all
breakpoints are disabled. In addition, these patches do not handle watchpoints
that are set by the host debugger.
