880a7578381d1c7ed4d41c7599ae3cc06567a824 gdbstub: manage CPUs as threads (Jan Kiszka)
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.
