[kvm-devel] Kernel debugging with KVM?

2007-01-26 Thread Jun Koi
Hi, I am investigating the possibility of debugging guest kernel with KVM. Anybody may shed some lights into how KVM handles breakpoints? Suppose that we put a breakpoint (0xCC opcode in x86) into guest kernel. When the kernel hits the breakpoint, which one will handle the event? Looks like qemu

[kvm-devel] Clock running at double speed in guest
