    KVM: PPC: E500: Add userspace debug stub support · ce11e48b
    Bharat Bhushan authored
    This patch adds the debug stub support on booke/bookehv.
    Now QEMU debug stub can use hw breakpoint, watchpoint and
    software breakpoint to debug guest.
    
    This is how we save/restore debug register context when switching
    between guest, userspace and kernel user-process:
    
    When QEMU is running
     -> thread->debug_reg == QEMU debug register context.
     -> Kernel will handle switching the debug register on context switch.
     -> no vcpu_load() called
    
    QEMU makes ioctls (except RUN)
     -> This will call vcpu_load()
     -> should not change context.
     -> Some ioctls can change vcpu debug register, context saved in vcpu->debug_regs
    
    QEMU Makes RUN ioctl
     -> Save thread->debug_reg on STACK
     -> Store thread->debug_reg == vcpu->debug_reg
     -> load thread->debug_reg
     -> RUN VCPU ( So thread points to vcpu context )
    
    Context switch happens When VCPU running
     -> makes vcpu_load() should not load any context
     -> kernel loads the vcpu context as thread->debug_regs points to vcpu context.
    
    On heavyweight_exit
     -> Load the context saved on stack in thread->debug_reg
    
    Currently we do not support debug resource emulation to guest,
    On debug exception, always exit to user space irrespective of
    user space is expecting the debug exception or not. If this is
    unexpected exception (breakpoint/watchpoint event not set by
    userspace) then let us leave the action on user space. This
    is similar to what it was before, only thing is that now we
    have proper exit state available to user space.
