Has anyone tried to remote-debugging of a system running on Qemu?
I thought if I could attach kgdb from Qemu host to a guest FreeBSD running
on Qemu, it would be very helpful for many reasons, i.e. no hardware
requirements, avoid fscking all disks, and so on.
Has anyone ever attempted? I spent a half day but due to lack of remote
debugging experience and some other knowledge, it wasn't successful.
I don't use Qemu, but if it has an option to expose a host serial port as a
guest serial port and FreeBSD works with the guest serial port emulation, you
might take a look at nmdm(4), which creates two ttys set up as a "null modem".
You can then attach kgdb to one end, and qemu to the other, which is a tricky
used by our VMware users to do much the same thing.
