This simplifies the CI process but also logical with the existing functionality under "guest_debug" (dumping guest memory). Fixes: #4679 Signed-off-by: Rob Bradford <robert.bradford@intel.com>

# GDB Support
|
|
|
|
This feature allows remote guest debugging using GDB. Note that this feature is only supported on x86_64/KVM.
|
|
|
|
To enable debugging with GDB, build with the `guest_debug` feature enabled:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo build --features guest_debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use the `--gdb` option, specify the Unix Domain Socket with `--path` that Cloud Hypervisor will use to communicate with the host's GDB:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./cloud-hypervisor \
|
|
--kernel hypervisor-fw \
|
|
--disk path=bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.raw \
|
|
--cpus boot=1 \
|
|
--memory size=1024M \
|
|
--net "tap=,mac=,ip=,mask=" \
|
|
--console off \
|
|
--serial tty \
|
|
--gdb path=/tmp/ch-gdb-sock
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Cloud Hypervisor will listen for GDB on the host side before starting the guest.
|
|
On the host side, connect to the GDB remote server as follows:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gdb -q
|
|
(gdb) target remote /tmp/ch-gdb-sock
|
|
Remote debugging using /tmp/ch-gdb-sock
|
|
warning: No executable has been specified, and target does not support
|
|
determining executable automatically. Try using the "file" command.
|
|
0x000000000011217e in ?? ()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can set up to four hardware breakpoints using the x86 debug register:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
(gdb) hb *0x1121b7
|
|
Hardware assisted breakpoint 1 at 0x1121b7
|
|
(gdb) c
|
|
Continuing.
|
|
|
|
Breakpoint 1, 0x00000000001121b7 in ?? ()
|
|
(gdb)
|
|
```
