[Xen-devel] [PATCH 00/11] Fixes to debugging facilities

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So this started as a small fix for the vmentry failure (penultimate patch),
and has snowballed...

I'm fairly confident that everything involving DEBUGCTL.BTF is broken, and
there are definitely bugs with configuring DEBUGCTL.RTM (which really isn't
helped by the fact that the GCC TSX intrinsics render the resulting code
un-debuggable.)  I'll defer fixing these swamps for now.

The first 4 patches probably want backporting to the stable trees, so I've
taken care to move them ahead of patch 6 for backport reasons.  While all
fixes would ideally be backported, I can't find a way of fixing %dr6 merging
(as it needs to be done precicely once) without a behavioural change in the
monitor subsystem.

Patch 8 probably breaks introspection, so can't be taken at this point.  See
that patch for discussion of the problem and my best guess at a solution.
