[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/39] Windbg supporting

[Mikhail Abakumov]

We made the debugger module WinDbg (like GDB) for QEMU. This is the replacement
of the remote server in Windows kernel. Used for remote Windows kernel debugging
without debugging mode.

WinDbg is a multipurpose debugger for the Microsoft Windows computer operating
system, distributed by Microsoft. Recent versions of WinDbg have been
and are being distributed as part of the free Debugging Tools for Windows suite.

How to start debugging QEMU using WinDbg:
  Run QEMU with next option:
    -windbg pipe:<name>
  QEMU will start and pause for waiting WinDbg connection.
  Run WinDbg with next options:
    -b -k com:pipe,baud=115200,port=\\.\pipe\<name>,resets=0
  Wait for debugger connect to kernel.

Note: You can add Symbol Search Path in WinDbg
such as srv*c:\tmp*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols.

How it works:
The WinDbg debugger has the possibility of connecting to a remote debug server
(Kdsrv.exe) in the Windows kernel. Therefore, it is possible to connect
to the guest system running in the QEMU emulator. Kernel debugging is possible
only with the enabled debugging mode, may change at the same time.
Our module of WinDbg debugger for QEMU is an alternative of the remote debugging
service in the kernel. Thus, the debugger connects to the debugging module,
not to the kernel of the operating system. The module obtains all the necessary
information answering debugger requests from the QEMU emulator. At the same time
for debugging there is no need to enable debugging mode in the kernel.
This leads to hidden debugging. Our module supports all features of WinDbg
regarding remote debugging, besides interception of events and exceptions.
Supports i386 and x86_64 architectures.
