This patchset adds support for the synthetic debugging device. HyperV supports a special transport layer for the kernel debugger when running in HyperV.
This patchset add supports for this device so you could have a setup fast windows kernel debugging. At this point of time, DHCP is not implmeneted so to set this up few things need to be noted. The scenario I used to test is having 2 VMs in the same virtual network i.e a Debugger VM with the NIC: -nic tap,model=virtio,mac=02:ca:01:01:01:01,script=/etc/qemu-ifup And it's IP is going to be static 192.168.53.12 And the VM we want to debug, to which we need to have the englightments and vmbus configured: -cpu host,hv-relaxed,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_time,+vmx,invtsc,hv-vapic,hv-vpindex,hv-synic,hv-syndbg \ -device vmbus-bridge \ -device hv-syndbg,host_ip=192.168.53.12,host_port=50000,use_hcalls=false \ -nic tap,model=virtio,mac=02:ca:01:01:01:02,script=/etc/qemu-ifup \ Then in the debuggee VM we would setup the kernel debugging in the following way: If the VM is older than Win8: * Copy the proper platform kdvm.dll (make sure it's called kdvm.dll even if platform is 32bit) bcdedit /set {GUID} dbgtransport kdvm.dll bcdedit /set {GUID} loadoptions host_ip="1.2.3.4",host_port="50000",nodhcp bcdedit /set {GUID} debug on bcdedit /set {GUID} halbreakpoint on Win8 and late: bcdedit /dbgsettings net hostip:7.7.7.7 port:50000 nodhcp This is all the setup that is required to get the synthetic debugger configured correctly.
