[Xen-devel] Xen gdb -- unable to set breakpoints on x86-64 PV linux domU



Hi,

Does gdb on x86_64 work on a recent xen-3.1-testing branch??

I followed the instructions in tools/debugger/gdb/README, to setup a gdb session on a x84-64 PV Linux domU. I'm unable to set any breakpoints. Similar errors were reported earlier in two e-mail threads:

1. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-10/msg00205.html
   - This was in PAE mode. Keir found the problem:
      "Ah, the lookup function is mapping the PTE page with write permissions.
       That won't work. I'll check in a fix."
       I want to verify if my sources includes it. But, I've not been able
       to trace the fix.

2. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-tools/2007-05/msg00001.html
   - This was a more recent error report on x86_64. But, no response.

Any tips? More details on the error below.

Thanks,
Shanth
