[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] add -semihosting-config option

2014-11-18 Thread Liviu Ionescu
The usual semihosting behaviour is to process the system calls locally and
return; unfortuantelly the initial implementation dinamically changed the
target to GDB during debug sessions, which, for the usual arm-none-eabi-gdb,
is not implemented. The result was that during debug sessions the semihosting
calls were discarded.

This patch adds a configuration variable and an option to set it on the
command line:

-semihosting-config [enable=on|off,]target=native|gdb|auto

This option enables semihosting and defines where the semihosting calls will
be addressed, to QEMU ('native') or to GDB ('gdb'). The default is auto, which
means 'gdb' during debug sessions and 'native' otherwise.

Thanks for sending this as a standalone patch. It looks pretty good,
there are just a few nits:

The comment here ^^ is now out of date...

  int use_gdb_syscalls(void)
  {
 +if (semihosting_target == SEMIHOSTING_TARGET_NATIVE) {
 +if (gdb_syscall_mode == GDB_SYS_UNKNOWN) {
 +gdb_syscall_mode = GDB_SYS_DISABLED;

 +} else if (semihosting_target == SEMIHOSTING_TARGET_GDB) {
 +if (gdb_syscall_mode == GDB_SYS_UNKNOWN) {
 +gdb_syscall_mode = GDB_SYS_ENABLED;
 +}

...and there isn't much point in these if()s I think
since we will never look at gdb_syscall_mode if
the semihosting_target is not auto; so we needn't set it.

 +return TRUE;

Also we prefer 'true' and 'false' to TRUE and FALSE.

If you like I can just fix these minor things and put the
patch into my target-arm queue, or you could reroll the patch
yourself if you prefer that.
(The change won't hit master until after we release 2.2 in early
December, so there's no immediate hurry either way.)

(PS: if you're sending a single standalone patch you don't
need to send a cover letter mail as well; the cover letter
is really for providing an overall description of a
multi-patch email series.)

right, removed

ok, I'll resume work on the rest of the patches then.

 no need to send a cover letter mail 

ok
