This small patchset fixes the incorrect behaviour of the vCont command in the gdb stub.
The first patch, as suggested be Paolo, refactors some code. The most visible change is that it moves vm_start to cpus.c The second one fixes the incorrect behaviour of the vCont command. Previously, continuing or stepping a single thread (CPU) caused all other CPUs to be started too, whereas the GDB specification clearly states that without a default action all threads not explicitly mentioned in the command should stay stopped. So if the Qemu gdbstub receives a vCont;c:1 packet, no other CPU should be restarted except the first, and when a vCont;s:1 is received, the first CPU should be stepped without restarting the others. With this patchset Qemu now behaves as expected. See here for reference material about the packets: https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Packets.html https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Packets.html v7 -> v8 * fixed and added some comments * fixed vCont a little bit for user mode * use cpu->cpu_index directly when possible v6 -> v7 * fixed description of patch 1 to reflect what is actually happening and improved description of patch 2 * removed leftover header declaration of resume_some_vcpus which had been removed a few versions ago * fixed a compilation issue when compiling userspace-mode only (global variable max_cpus is not defined when not in system-mode) v4 -> v6 * rebased on master after target-s390x was moved * put qemu_clock_enable back into resume_all_vcpus * improved the parsing function of the vCont packet * added qemu_clock_enable to gdb_continue_partial v3 -> v4 * rebased on v2.8.0-rc2, no changes needed v2 -> v3 * removed resume_some_vcpus * cleared up the code and simplified the implementation in light of the clarification in the specification of the vCont packet Claudio Imbrenda (2): move vm_start to cpus.c gdbstub: Fix vCont behaviour cpus.c | 42 ++++++++++ gdbstub.c | 209 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- include/sysemu/sysemu.h | 2 + vl.c | 30 +------ 4 files changed, 207 insertions(+), 76 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4
