docs/system: convert Texinfo documentation to rST
Apart from targets.rst, which was written by hand, this is an automated conversion obtained with the following command: makeinfo --force -o - --docbook \ -D 'qemu_system_x86 QEMU_SYSTEM_X86_MACRO' \ -D 'qemu_system QEMU_SYSTEM_MACRO' \ $texi | pandoc -f docbook -t rst+smart | perl -e ' $/=undef; $_ = <>; s/^- − /- /gm; s/QEMU_SYSTEM_MACRO/|qemu_system|/g; s/QEMU_SYSTEM_X86_MACRO/|qemu_system_x86|/g; s/(?=::\n\n +\|qemu)/.. parsed-literal/g; s/:\n\n::$/::/gm; print' > $rst In addition, the following changes were made manually: - target-i386.rst and target-mips.rst: replace CPU model documentation with an include directive - monitor.rst: replace the command section with a comment - images.rst: add toctree - target-arm.rst: Replace use of :math: (which Sphinx complains about) with :sup:, and hide it behind |I2C| and |I2C| substitutions. Content that is not @included remains exclusive to qemu-doc.texi.

GDB usage
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
QEMU has a primitive support to work with gdb, so that you can do
|
||||
'Ctrl-C' while the virtual machine is running and inspect its state.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to use gdb, launch QEMU with the '-s' option. It will wait for
|
||||
a gdb connection:
|
||||
|
||||
.. parsed-literal::
|
||||
|
||||
|qemu_system| -s -kernel bzImage -hda rootdisk.img -append "root=/dev/hda"
|
||||
Connected to host network interface: tun0
|
||||
Waiting gdb connection on port 1234
|
||||
|
||||
Then launch gdb on the 'vmlinux' executable::
|
||||
|
||||
> gdb vmlinux
|
||||
|
||||
In gdb, connect to QEMU::
|
||||
|
||||
(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
|
||||
|
||||
Then you can use gdb normally. For example, type 'c' to launch the
|
||||
kernel::
|
||||
|
||||
(gdb) c
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some useful tips in order to use gdb on system code:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use ``info reg`` to display all the CPU registers.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Use ``x/10i $eip`` to display the code at the PC position.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Use ``set architecture i8086`` to dump 16 bit code. Then use
|
||||
``x/10i $cs*16+$eip`` to dump the code at the PC position.
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced debugging options:
|
||||
|
||||
The default single stepping behavior is step with the IRQs and timer
|
||||
service routines off. It is set this way because when gdb executes a
|
||||
single step it expects to advance beyond the current instruction. With
|
||||
the IRQs and timer service routines on, a single step might jump into
|
||||
the one of the interrupt or exception vectors instead of executing the
|
||||
current instruction. This means you may hit the same breakpoint a number
|
||||
of times before executing the instruction gdb wants to have executed.
|
||||
Because there are rare circumstances where you want to single step into
|
||||
an interrupt vector the behavior can be controlled from GDB. There are
|
||||
three commands you can query and set the single step behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
``maintenance packet qqemu.sstepbits``
|
||||
This will display the MASK bits used to control the single stepping
|
||||
IE:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
(gdb) maintenance packet qqemu.sstepbits
|
||||
sending: "qqemu.sstepbits"
|
||||
received: "ENABLE=1,NOIRQ=2,NOTIMER=4"
|
||||
|
||||
``maintenance packet qqemu.sstep``
|
||||
This will display the current value of the mask used when single
|
||||
stepping IE:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
(gdb) maintenance packet qqemu.sstep
|
||||
sending: "qqemu.sstep"
|
||||
received: "0x7"
|
||||
|
||||
``maintenance packet Qqemu.sstep=HEX_VALUE``
|
||||
This will change the single step mask, so if wanted to enable IRQs on
|
||||
the single step, but not timers, you would use:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
(gdb) maintenance packet Qqemu.sstep=0x5
|
||||
sending: "qemu.sstep=0x5"
|
||||
received: "OK"
