Hi,
This patch series builds on top of the discussion from the thread at
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/[email protected]/
and adds a plugin API function to set the program counter of the guest,
as just writing to it via qemu_plugin_write_register() has no direct
effect.
This version v6 of the patch series addresses the requested changes from
the previous v4 submission and an incorrect commit message from v5
(details below).
Note: checkpatch.pl still reports a warning about line length violations
in patch nr. 6/7 but I did not fix this, as the line was already > 80
characters long previously, the change added only a single character,
and I think the readability of the code is better as it is now. Please
let me know if you disagree and would like me to fix this!
Best regards,
Florian
Changes:
v6:
- update commit message for patch 4/7
v5:
- make QEMU abort via asserts instead of just returning an error from
the plugin API if preconditions are violated
- extend tests for qemu_plugin_set_pc() to different contexts
- fix issues highlighted by checkpatch.pl
v4:
- switch strcmp out in favor of g_strcmp0
- split the patch introducing the qemu_plugin_set_pc() API into three
patches, two for preparing the plugin infrastructure and the syscall
handling code and a third introducing the actual plugin API
v3:
- make PC registers read-only across architectures
- add tests for read-only registers
- adjust test structure for qemu_plugin_set_pc() by moving
architecture-specific tests into corresponding directories
v2:
- add setjmp() in syscall handling path to allow PC redirection from
syscall callbacks (via longjmp(), the cpu_loop()'s setjmp() for
exiting a TB would not be live anymore in syscall handlers)
- add flags to ensure the qemu_plugin_set_pc() API is only called from
contexts where the CPU is live
- add test for qemu_plugin_set_pc() API
v1:
- initial version
