Changeset 11374:74c2b67b2684 --------------------------- kvm: Add an option to force context sync on kvm entry/exit This changeset adds an option to force the kvm-based CPUs to always synchronize the gem5 thread context representation on entry/exit into the kernel. This is very useful for debugging. Unfortunately, it is also the only way to get reliable register contents when using remote gdb functionality. The long-term solution for the latter would be to implement a kvm-specific thread context. Signed-off-by: Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com>
Used extensively for debugging.
