Subject: [RFC v3 12/24] target/arm/cpu: Set number of breakpoints and watchpoints in KVM
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:00:49 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825220101.3443954-13-mathieu.poirier@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825220101.3443954-1-mathieu.poirier@linaro.org>
From: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@linaro.org>
Add "num-breakpoints" and "num-watchpoints" CPU parameters to configure
the debug features that KVM presents to the guest. The KVM vCPU
configuration is modified by calling SET_ONE_REG on the ID register.
This is needed for Realm VMs, whose parameters include breakpoints and
watchpoints, and influence the Realm Initial Measurement.
