If you are developing a debug server for qemu, after qemu hit a breakpoint, your server have to remove the breakpoint manually and re-insert it after the cpu passed that EIP, otherwise the cpu will forever stay in the EIP and can’t single-step/cont to the next instruction. If you take a look the gdbstub.c, gdb…

I just tested the qemu-kvm with QMP, when i send out the qmp command for migration, it takes 20 seconds, it is much slower than type in the command in qemu monitor.
To use qmp and send command to qemu from another process, start qemu by This will create a file /tmp/test.gmp for interchange the command. Then you can start another terminal and invoke command.txt: !!! remark, must invoke { “execute”: “qmp_capabilities” } before invoke any qmp command
When you are running vm in virtual box, and try to start any vm in openstack. The vm that are running in virtualbox will crash immediately, you need to do the follow command to shut it down. If you want to restart that VM, please rmmod the kvm module. I guess is that the kvm…

In Linux, if the system is out of memory, OOM will pick one process to kill. But someone reported the OOM can’t kill the qemu-kvm, that mean if you are running many VMs that eat up all the memory, the Linux will hang because OOM can’t kill them In tried to run 64 VMs using…

At the moment, i am facing 2 big problems of bochs, the first one is unsolvable, bochs running too slow. It is ok if you are doing a hobby OS development, but if you are trying to use bochs to run a full feature Linux kernel or a windows 7, it is just so slow.…

I use the following code to insert a breakpoint in physical address 0x1600000 qemu successfully hit the breakpoint and stop, then i try to single-step by the following code: Nothing happened, the EIP still stay in 0x1600000, but if i delete the breakpoint, the single step just work again. Am I missed something?
when you debugging qemu, it will keep firing SIGUSR1 so gdb will always catched in some breakpooints that are not defined by you, to turn off the SIGUSR1, you have to: (gdb) info signal SIGUSR1 Signal Stop Print Pass to program Description SIGUSR1 Yes Yes Yes User defined signal 1 And if deemed to not…

linker script offset seems crazy, take a look the following two pictures
if you compile grub2 , you may get “error: ‘gets’ undeclared here yum”, to fix it, run the following command: sed -i -e ‘/gets is a security/d’ grub-core/gnulib/stdio.in.h
If you compile newlib in x86-64 host and want to have 64-bits newlib, you have to add “–disable-multilib“, otherwise you will get the following error:
Add this “CATALINA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true” to catalina.sh
when you meet the following error, add “.code32” can fix it. ../../../../../../newlib-1.19.0/newlib/libc/machine/i386/memcmp.S: Assembler messages: ../../../../../../newlib-1.19.0/newlib/libc/machine/i386/memcmp.S:18: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push’ ../../../../../../newlib-1.19.0/newlib/libc/machine/i386/memcmp.S:21: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push’ ../../../../../../newlib-1.19.0/newlib/libc/machine/i386/memcmp.S:22: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push’ ../../../../../../newlib-1.19.0/newlib/libc/machine/i386/memcmp.S:23: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `push’ ../../../../../../newlib-1.19.0/newlib/libc/machine/i386/memcmp.S:72: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `pop’ ../../../../../../newlib-1.19.0/newlib/libc/machine/i386/memcmp.S:73: Error: invalid instruction suffix for…

Teens, tweens and kids are often referred to as “digital natives.” Having grown up with the Internet, smartphones and tablets, they’re often extraordinarily adept at interacting with digital technology. But Mitch Resnick, who spoke at TEDxBeaconStreet in November, is skeptical of this descriptor. Sure, young people can text and chat and play games, he says, “but that…

I have been asking for a java x86 disassembler library for a long time, i finally found “Maxine” project from oracle, it is a VM project with built-in a x86 assembler written Java. I git-ed the source and compile them in eclipse, it works!, here is the source and screenshot. source : maxine_disassembler
Font rendering is a matter of taste. However, I personally think Ubuntu’s default font rendering is the most eye-pleasing one of the whole Linux eco-system. And if a website’s CSS font stack is looking good on Ubuntu, you can be relatively sure that it also works for Mac or MS Windows as long as the used fonts are available on these…

I can do 1500 single-steps per second in qemu. But i can only do 148 in qemu-kvm. I test it by: 1) create a debug server in qemu 2) send huge amount of “s” command from a java program, every “s” command will perform one single step action in qemu.
Hi all I created a simple debug server on qemu, it receives command from tcp, but when i try to single step qemu, it fails, it will keep running rather than stop in the next instruction. I have traced the code a little bit, for gdb, when gdb do single step, the process will throw…
