Never mind. I wasn't setting the current_inferior to the VCPU that hit the breakpoint, thus causing the eip to not be decremented. At least on a uniprocessor, debugging an MP guest works correctly now.

Sorry for the noise.

If the comment in domain_pause_for_debugger is correct (below), this function is completely inappropriate for breakpoint debugging.

   NOTE: Thise does not synchronously pause the domain. The debugger
   must issue a PAUSEDOMAIN command to ensure that all execution
   has ceased and guest state is committed to memory.

What is the correct way to synchronously deschedule a domain? Replacing vcpu_sleep_nosync with vcpu_sleep_sync causes dom0 to lock up when hitting a breakpoint.


Thanks.
