From 60897d369f10b464720d8a6de4553c47943ea927 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: edgar_igl Date: Fri, 9 May 2008 08:25:14 +0000 Subject: Debugger single step without interrupts (Jason Wessel). This patch allows the qemu backend debugger to single step an instruction without running the hardware interrupts. git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@4391 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162 --- cpu-all.h | 5 +++++ cpu-exec.c | 2 +- gdbstub.c | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- qemu-doc.texi | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 70 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/cpu-all.h b/cpu-all.h index 2740da9b7f..f1454d5979 100644 --- a/cpu-all.h +++ b/cpu-all.h @@ -762,6 +762,11 @@ int cpu_watchpoint_insert(CPUState *env, target_ulong addr); int cpu_watchpoint_remove(CPUState *env, target_ulong addr); int cpu_breakpoint_insert(CPUState *env, target_ulong pc); int cpu_breakpoint_remove(CPUState *env, target_ulong pc); + +#define SSTEP_ENABLE 0x1 /* Enable simulated HW single stepping */ +#define SSTEP_NOIRQ 0x2 /* Do not use IRQ while single stepping */ +#define SSTEP_NOTIMER 0x4 /* Do not Timers while single stepping */ + void cpu_single_step(CPUState *env, int enabled); void cpu_reset(CPUState *s); diff --git a/cpu-exec.c b/cpu-exec.c index fb31b43861..5c64856586 100644 --- a/cpu-exec.c +++ b/cpu-exec.c @@ -421,7 +421,7 @@ int cpu_exec(CPUState *env1) #if defined(TARGET_I386) && env->hflags & HF_GIF_MASK #endif - ) { + && !(env->singlestep_enabled & SSTEP_NOIRQ)) { if (interrupt_request & CPU_INTERRUPT_DEBUG) { env->interrupt_request &= ~CPU_INTERRUPT_DEBUG; env->exception_index = EXCP_DEBUG; diff --git a/gdbstub.c b/gdbstub.c index cd42a9923a..64709e2e1a 100644 --- a/gdbstub.c +++ b/gdbstub.c @@ -73,6 +73,11 @@ typedef struct GDBState { #endif } GDBState; +/* By default use no IRQs and no timers while single stepping so as to + * make single stepping like an ICE HW step. + */ +static int sstep_flags = SSTEP_ENABLE|SSTEP_NOIRQ|SSTEP_NOTIMER; + #ifdef CONFIG_USER_ONLY /* XXX: This is not thread safe.

It is set this way because when gdb executes a single step it expects to advance beyond the current instruction. With the IRQs and and timer service routines on, a single step might jump into the one of the interrupt or exception vectors instead of executing the current instruction. This means you may hit the same breakpoint a number of times before executing the instruction gdb wants to have executed. Because there are rare circumstances where you want to single step into an interrupt vector the behavior can be controlled from GDB.
