gdbsx, hypervisor part

From upstream revisions r18592, r18593, r20321 and r21288.

Makes TRAP_debug and TRAP_int3 useful.
Creates arch/x86/debug.c with debugging routines.
Adds four new XEN_DOMCTLs. (1000 gdbsx_guestmemio, 1001 gdbsx_pausevcpu, 1002 gdbsx_unpausevcpu and 1003 gdbsx_domstatus)

gdbsx, tool in hypervisor repo

Moved the tool from userspace to hypervisor repo and added required headers from linux/xen.

Backported r20319.

Located in tools/gdbsx, compiled by default to avoid silent breakage, but not
included in any package, because only devs are going to use it. (might be in a
separate internal-only package in the future)
New rule "gdbsx" in / copying binary from /tools/gdbsx into /.

Notable changes:
gdbsx makefiles were significantly modified.
Fixed to compile on ia64.
Added example to readme.

Comment 2 Radim Krčmář 2011-02-22 16:15:03 UTC

gdbsx, tool in hypervisor repo v2

Moved includes from include/linux to tools/gdbsx/xg/linux, as ia64 already used that directory. Modified makefile to reflect that.

Comment 3 Radim Krčmář 2011-02-22 16:40:28 UTC
Created attachment 480174 [details]
gdbsx, tool in hypervisor repo v2.1

The last patch was adding even the hypervisor part by mistake, fixed.
