[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v3 3/7] kvm: support checking for single step capability

[Fabiano Rosas]

For single stepping (via KVM) of a guest vcpu to work, KVM needs not
only to support the SET_GUEST_DEBUG ioctl but to also recognize the
KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP bit in the control field of the
kvm_guest_debug struct.

This patch adds support for querying the single step capability so
that QEMU can decide what to do for the platforms that do not have
such support.
