Any hints on how to use bhyve's -G <port> option to debug a VM kernel? I can connect to it from gdb with "target remote :<port>" & bhyve stops the VM initially but beyond that I am not sure. Ideally this should work just like an in-circuit-emulator, not requiring anything special in the VM or kernel itself.
step only works on Intel CPUs currently (and is a bit fragile anyway due to interrupts firing while you try to step, but that happens for me in QEMU as well). Breakpoints should work fine. I tend to use 'until' to do stepping (basically stepping via temporary breakpoints) when debugging the kernel this way. -- John Baldwin
