debugging guest domains

debugging guest domains

[Brendan Cully]

Hi,

I'm new to Xen, so I apologize in advance if this is a FAQ. I'd like
to attach gdb to a kernel running in a guest domain. I figure this has
got to be a lot more convenient than trying to find another machine to
connect to it with a null modem. And browsing the list I see
tantalizing hints that patches exist to do this, but I can't seem to
put two and two together. So, I'd appreciate any hints... does this
feature exist? and if so, is there a guide to setting it up?

Thanks,

Brendan

Yes - but only for the people at my work ;-). However, it wasn't for
lack of trying. I have a patch you can try against the -testing
branch. Otherwise you can wait a couple of days for me to submit a
patch against -unstable which should actually get committed.
