>
> This set of patches is related to the reverse execution and deterministic
> replay of qemu execution This implementation of deterministic replay can
> be used for deterministic debugging of guest code through gdb remote
> interface.
>
> These patches include only core function of the replay,
> excluding the support for replaying serial, audio, network, and USB devices'
> operations. Reverse debugging and monitor commands were also excluded to
> be submitted later as separate patches.
>
> Execution recording writes non-deterministic events log, which can be later
> used for replaying the execution anywhere and for unlimited number of times.
> It also supports checkpointing for faster rewinding during reverse debugging.
> Execution replaying reads the log and replays all non-deterministic events
> including external input, hardware clocks, and interrupts.
>
> Deterministic replay has the following features:
> * Deterministically replays whole system execution and all contents of the
> memory,
> state of the hadrware devices, clocks, and screen of the VM.
> * Writes execution log into the file for latter replaying for multiple times
> on different machines.
> * Supports i386, x86_64, and ARM hardware platforms.
> * Performs deterministic replay of all operations with keyboard and mouse
> input devices.
> * Supports auto-checkpointing for convenient reverse debugging.
>
> Usage of the record/replay:
> * First, record the execution, by adding the following string to the command
> line:
> '-record fname=replay.bin -icount 7 -net none'. Block devices' images are
> not
> actually changed in the recording mode, because all of the changes are
> written to the temporary overlay file.
> * Then you can replay it for the multiple times by using another command
> line option: '-replay fname=replay.bin -icount 7 -net none'
> * '-net none' option should also be specified if network replay patches
> are not applied.
