    KVM: PPC: BOOKE: Emulate debug registers and exception · 2f699a59
    Bharat Bhushan 提交于
    This patch emulates debug registers and debug exception
    to support guest using debug resource. This enables running
    gdb/kgdb etc in guest.
    
    On BOOKE architecture we cannot share debug resources between QEMU and
    guest because:
        When QEMU is using debug resources then debug exception must
        be always enabled. To achieve this we set MSR_DE and also set
        MSRP_DEP so guest cannot change MSR_DE.
    
        When emulating debug resource for guest we want guest
        to control MSR_DE (enable/disable debug interrupt on need).
    
        So above mentioned two configuration cannot be supported
        at the same time. So the result is that we cannot share
        debug resources between QEMU and Guest on BOOKE architecture.
    
    In the current design QEMU gets priority over guest, this means that if
    QEMU is using debug resources then guest cannot use them and if guest is
    using debug resource then QEMU can overwrite them.
