[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 00/19] reverse debugging
Posted by Pavel Dovgalyuk 7 years, 5 months ago
GDB remote protocol supports reverse debugging of the targets.
It includes 'reverse step' and 'reverse continue' operations.
The first one finds the previous step of the execution,
and the second one is intended to stop at the last breakpoint that
would happen when the program is executed normally.

Reverse debugging is possible in the replay mode, when at least
one snapshot was created at the record or replay phase.
QEMU can use these snapshots for travelling back in time with GDB.

Running the execution in replay mode allows using GDB reverse debugging
commands:
 - reverse-stepi (or rsi): Steps one instruction to the past.
   QEMU loads on of the prior snapshots and proceeds to the desired
   instruction forward. When that step is reaches, execution stops.
 - reverse-continue (or rc): Runs execution "backwards".
   QEMU tries to find breakpoint or watchpoint by loaded prior snapshot
   and replaying the execution. Then QEMU loads snapshots again and
   replays to the latest breakpoint. When there are no breakpoints in
   the examined section of the execution, QEMU finds one more snapshot
   and tries again. After the first snapshot is processed, execution
   stops at this snapshot.

The set of patches include the following modifications:
 - gdbstub update for reverse debugging support
 - functions that automatically perform reverse step and reverse
   continue operations
 - hmp/qmp commands for manipulating the replay process
 - improvement of the snapshotting for saving the execution step
   in the snapshot parameters
 - other record/replay fixes

The patches are available in the repository:
https://github.com/ispras/qemu/tree/rr-180524

v4 changes:
 - changed 'since 2.13' to 'since 3.0' in json (as suggested by Eric Blake)

v3 changes:
 - Fixed PS/2 bug with save/load vm, which caused failures of the replay.
   The patch was sent separately.
 - Rebased to the new code base.
 - Minor fixes.

v2 changes:
 - documented reverse debugging
 - fixed start vmstate loading in record mode
 - documented qcow2 changes (as suggested by Eric Blake)
 - made icount SnapshotInfo field optional (as suggested by Eric Blake)
 - renamed qmp commands (as suggested by Eric Blake)
 - minor changes

I started having a look but I ran into this straight away. First I
recorded a boot of the kernel:

  ./aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt,graphics=on,gic-version=3,virtualization=on -cpu cortex-a53 --serial mon:stdio -display none -kernel ../images/aarch64-current-linux-initrd-guest.img -icount shift=7,rr=record,rrfile=replay.bin

Then played back:

  ./aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt,graphics=on,gic-version=3,virtualization=on -cpu cortex-a53 --serial mon:stdio -display none -kernel ../images/aarch64-current-linux-initrd-guest.img -icount shift=7,rr=replay,rrfile=replay.bin -s -S

And did the following on gdb:

(gdb) i
0x0000000040000004 in ?? ()
=> 0x40000004:  mov     x1, xzr
   0x40000008:  mov     x2, xzr
   0x4000000c:  mov     x3, xzr
(gdb)
0x0000000040000008 in ?? ()

   0x4000000c:  mov     x3, xzr
   0x40000010:  ldr     x4, 0x40000020
(gdb)
0x000000004000000c in ?? ()

   0x4000001c:  .inst   0x00000000 ; undefined
(gdb) p/x $x4
$1 = 0x40080000
(gdb) reverse-stepi
warning: Remote failure reply: E14

Surely this is the simple case and doesn't require any snapshots for
block devices as there are none. Am I missing something?

This looks ok, but...

Reverse debugging requires the snapshotting. QEMU can't revert the VM state without the snapshots.
You can try adding an empty qcow2 image to allow snapshotting there.

I got confused with block device snapshots and rr snapshots. Let me try
again ;-)

I suspect a recent patch has broken locking again:

Once I have the linux-user TCG tests merged I'm planning on focusing on
the system emulation tests and we should be able to add some
record/replay tests to defend the behaviour.

Have you recorded it with the attached disk before replaying?
Are you using the latest version?
If the both answers are 'yes', then can you share the kernel? My i386 runs work normally.

That will be great.
There are some Ciro's attempts on that: https://github.com/cirosantilli/qemu-test/blob/master/arm/rr

Yes. I assume the -drive doesn't actually have to be visible to the
guest, it's just the mechanism rr needs for saving snapshots?

I'll have a go with x86 first as aarch64 hasn't been proven yet.

Just noticed. If you are using VM snapshots, then you should disable "snapshot" option

BTW, similar command line for aarch64 worked for me.
I just removed "-display=none" for convenience.
