When debugging multi-threaded programs, QEMU's gdb stub would report the
correct number of threads (the qfThreadInfo and qsThreadInfo packets).
However, the stub was unable to actually switch between threads (the T
packet), since it would report every thread except the first as being
dead. Furthermore, the stub relied upon cpu_index as a reliable means
of assigning IDs to the threads. This was a bad idea; if you have this
sequence of events:
initial thread created
new thread #1
new thread #2
thread #1 exits
new thread #3
thread #3 will have the same cpu_index as thread #1, which would confuse
GDB. (This problem is partly due to the remote protocol not having a
good way to send thread creation/destruction events.)
We fix this by using the host thread ID for the identifier passed to GDB
when debugging a multi-threaded userspace program. The thread ID might
wrap, but the same sort of problems with wrapping thread IDs would come
up with debugging programs natively, so this doesn't represent a
problem.

Introduce a more canonical gdbstub configuration (system emulation only)
via the new switch '-gdb dev'. Keep '-s' as shorthand for
'-gdb tcp::1234'. Use the same syntax also for the corresponding monitor
command 'gdbserver'. Its default remains to listen on TCP port 1234.
Changes in v4:
- Rebased over new command line switches meta file
Changes in v3:
- Fix documentation
Changes in v2:
- Support for pipe-based like to gdb (target remote | qemu -gdb stdio)

This is a backport of the guest debugging support for the KVM
accelerator that is now part of the KVM tree. It implements the reworked
KVM kernel API for guest debugging (KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG) which is
not yet part of any mainline kernel but will probably be 2.6.30 stuff.
So far supported is x86, but PPC is expected to catch up soon.
Core features are:
- unlimited soft-breakpoints via code patching
- hardware-assisted x86 breakpoints and watchpoints
Changes in this version:
- use generic hook cpu_synchronize_state to transfer registers between
user space and kvm
- push kvm_sw_breakpoints into KVMState

Define GDB_CORE_XML and hack things similarly to ARM so that despite the
FP registers coming in between the GPRs and some status registers,
everything works out OK no matter which kind of GDB we're communicating
with.
It matters whether we're built to target 64-bit or 32-bit cores. I
think there are still problems if we are debugging 32-bit programs on a
built-for-64-bit QEMU (QEMU will always send 64-bit registers), but I
don't know if there's a good way around that at the time being.

This patch enhances QEMU's built-in debugger for SMP guest debugging.
Using the thread support of the gdb remote protocol, each VCPU is mapped
on a pseudo thread and exposed to the gdb frontend. This way you can
easy switch the focus of gdb between the VCPUs and observe their states.
On breakpoint hit, the focus is automatically adjusted just as for
normal multi-threaded application under gdb control.
Furthermore, the patch propagates breakpoint and watchpoint insertions
or removals to all CPUs, not just the current one as it was the case so
far. Without this, SMP guest debugging was practically unfeasible.

This patch prepares the QEMU cpu_watchpoint/breakpoint API to allow the
succeeding enhancements this series comes with.
First of all, it overcomes MAX_BREAKPOINTS/MAX_WATCHPOINTS by switching
to dynamically allocated data structures that are kept in linked lists.
This also allows to return a stable reference to the related objects,
required for later introduced x86 debug register support.
Breakpoints and watchpoints are stored with their full information set
and an additional flag field that makes them easily extensible for use
beyond pure guest debugging.

This patch makes qemu keep track of the character devices in use and
implements a "info chardev" monitor command to print a list.
qemu_chr_open() sticks the devices into a linked list now. It got a new
argument (label), so there is a name for each device. It also assigns a
filename to each character device. By default it just copyes the
filename passed in. Individual drivers can fill in something else
though. qemu_chr_open_pty() sets the filename to name of the pseudo tty
allocated.
Output looks like this:
(qemu) info chardev
monitor: filename=unix:/tmp/run.sh-26827/monitor,server,nowait
serial0: filename=unix:/tmp/run.sh-26827/console,server
serial1: filename=pty:/dev/pts/5

The IO index is now stored in its own field, instead of being wedged
into the vaddr field. This eliminates the ROMD and watchpoint host
pointer weirdness. The IO index space is expanded by 1 bit, and
several additional bits are made available in the TLB vaddr field.

Implement the 'k' gdbserial packet which kills the qemu instance via
the debugger stub.
Implement the 'D' detach packet for the gdb stub such that you can
disconnect gdb with the "detach" command. This required implementing
a cpu_breakpoint_remove_all() and a cpu_watchpoint_remove_all()
function to cleanup all the breakpoints and watchpoints prior to
leaving the gdb stub else simulation can stop with no debugger
attached.
On a '?' packet remove all the breakpoints and watchpoints. This is
considered more of a safety net in case you force killed gdb or it
crashed and you are reconnecting. The identical behavior exists for
kgdb in the linux kernel.
