Paul, I am still trying to understand the current status. You mentioned "without having to enable debugging within the guest". Does that mean we will need to monitor all the debug exceptions, and see if one of these was because of us or them? Also, wouldn't setting breakpoints require us to modify

Hi Paul, Thanks for getting back to us in regards to the KDD project. I am trying to understand the current status of the project. Could you provide a bit more information on the current status and what would need to be done. Julian On Mon, Sep 16, 2019 at 5:53 AM Paul Durrant wrote: > I think

Hi Julian For the KDD related project I have CC'ed Paul. I have gathered some ideas for cleaning up hypervisor code but they are of lower difficulty compared to other projects. They are definitively not as fun as the others. ;-) Wei. On Mon, Sep 09, 2019 at 08:58:51AM +0100, Julien Grall wrote:

Hi, We (a group of 2 students) are interested in doing a hypervisor related project for the next 10-12 weeks as part of one of our courses this semester. We have taken a look at this year's GSoC project list ( https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_Projects). We were interested in learn
