kaf24@firebug.cl.cam.ac.uk 37a7b1e045 [GDBSERVER] make gdbbuild exit on error
If an error occurs, such as wget failing because the site (or proxy)
is unavailable, the script will now terminate, rather than trying
to soldier on without any real hope of success.

mkbuildtree should really get the same treatment, but that
can wait for another day.

kfraser@localhost.localdomain 1df421476a Replace dom0_ops hypercall with three new hypercalls:
1. platform_op -- used by dom0 kernel to perform actions on the
    hardware platform (e.g., MTRR access, microcode update, platform
    quirks, ...)
 2. domctl -- used by management tools to control a specified domain
 3. sysctl -- used by management tools for system-wide actions

Benefits include more sensible factoring of actions to
hypercalls. Also allows tool compatibility to be tracked separately
from the dom0 kernel. The assumption is that it will be easier to
replace libxenctrl, libxenguest and Xen as a matched set if the
dom0 kernel does not need to be replaced too (e.g., because that
would require vendor revalidation).

From here on we hope to maintain dom0 kernel compatibility. This
promise is not extended to tool compatibility beyond the existing
guarantee that compatibility will not be broken within a three-level
stable release [3.0.2, 3.0.3, etc.].

kaf24@firebug.cl.cam.ac.uk 202f5a0b35 The Xen Hypervisor currently operates a bit differently when the
guest is being debugged. The differences are handling of int3 exception
and missed pit timer injections. The Xen hypervisor should get back to
the normal mode when the gdb connection is closed. With the attached
patch gdbserver properly detaches from the guest when the gdb detaches
or quits.

kaf24@firebug.cl.cam.ac.uk ba4a95bee1 In some cases, say for instance for some bizzare reason
the tree was checked out of CVS, which doens't neccessarily
store file permissions, mkbuildtree may not be executable.
So run them explicitly via bash.

kaf24@firebug.cl.cam.ac.uk e265d47bd6 Consolidate xc_ptrace and xc_ptrace_core
* xc_ptrace
  - Merge xc_ptrace_core into xc_ptrace
  - ATTACH now reads the data argument. If non-zero then
    a corefile is being debuged. Otherwise a thread has
    been attached to. This allows xc_waitdomain_core() or
    xc_waitdomain() to be called as appropriate in
    subsequent xc_ptrace() calls.
* xc_waitdomain
  - Rename xc_waitdomain (xc_ptrace.c version) __xc_waitdomain
  - Rename xc_waitdomain (xc_ptrace_core.c version) xc_waitdomain_core
  - Create xc_waitdomain (in xc_ptrace.c), a wrapper for __xc_waitdomain
    and xc_waitdomain_core.
  Consolidation seemed difficult but ctxt needs to be
  passed into xc_waitdomain_core or made global.
  Alternatively, xc_waitdomain_core could be moved into xc_ptrace.c,
  but this seems messy.
* map_domain_va
  - Rename map_domain_va (xc_ptrace_core.c version) map_domain_va_core
  - Have it accept ctxt, like xc_waitdomain_core
* myptrace and myxcwait (linux-xen-low.c)
  Removed, call the now generic xc_ptrace() and xc_waitdomain() instead

When calling xc_ptrace ATTACH, if a corefile is in use, a fd will
be passed, otherwise a pid. The fd part is important, as this
is saved internally in xc_ptrace_core.c, and passed to xc_waitdomain_core()
as neccessary. Pereviously xc_waitdomain_core() received a pid and
thus could not open the corefile.

Rationalise debugger stuff in the tree.

Within Xen itself, remove PDB references and fold into domu_debug.
When domu_debug hits a breakpoint, it pauses all vcpus of the domain
and raises VIRQ_DEBUGGER (not VIRQ_PDB). The debugger in domain0 can
either poll pause status or bind to VIRQ_DEBUGGER. Before debugging
a breakpointed domain the debugger should issue PAUSEDOMAIN itself, or
it is not guaranteed to see paused state of the domain!

Outside Xen there's a new dir tools/debugger, containing gdb, pdb and
a new library libxendebug (used by pdb). I also think the ptrace
functions in libxc also ought to be moved out: either to libxendebug
or to a new library libxenptrace.
