[PATCH v1 0/4] HyperV: Synthetic Debugging device


From: Jon Doron
Subject: [PATCH v1 0/4] HyperV: Synthetic Debugging device
Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2022 12:07:19 +0200

This patchset adds support for the synthetic debugging device.

HyperV supports a special transport layer for the kernel debugger when
running in HyperV.

This patchset add supports for this device so you could have a setup
fast windows kernel debugging.

At this point of time, DHCP is not implmeneted so to set this up few
things need to be noted.

The scenario I used to test is having 2 VMs in the same virtual network
i.e a Debugger VM with the NIC:
-nic tap,model=virtio,mac=02:ca:01:01:01:01,script=/etc/qemu-ifup
And it's IP is going to be static 192.168.53.12
And the VM we want to debug, to which we need to have the englightments
and vmbus configured:
 -cpu 
host,hv-relaxed,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_time,+vmx,invtsc,hv-vapic,hv-vpindex,hv-synic,hv-syndbg
 \
 -device vmbus-bridge \
 -device hv-syndbg,host_ip=192.168.53.12,host_port=50000,use_hcalls=false \
 -nic tap,model=virtio,mac=02:ca:01:01:01:02,script=/etc/qemu-ifup \

Then in the debuggee VM we would setup the kernel debugging in the
following way:

If the VM is older than Win8:
* Copy the proper platform kdvm.dll (make sure it's called kdvm.dll even if 
platform is 32bit)
bcdedit /set {GUID} dbgtransport kdvm.dll
bcdedit /set {GUID} loadoptions host_ip="1.2.3.4",host_port="50000",nodhcp
bcdedit /set {GUID} debug on
bcdedit /set {GUID} halbreakpoint on

Win8 and late:
bcdedit /dbgsettings net hostip:7.7.7.7 port:50000 nodhcp

This is all the setup that is required to get the synthetic debugger
configured correctly.
