[Xen-users] Can't debug Win32 app under Xen, but can under qemu (gdb)
Hi everyone,
This is related to my earlier thread which listed some of the issues I
was having running WinXP under Xen on an AMD X2 3800+ processor, but now
focuses on my one remaining issue: being unable to debug MingW
applications in Xen.
My main OS is Ubuntu 6.06 (32-bit) and I have been using WinXP under Xen
for Win32 application development. A few days ago I came across a C
application that was segfaulting; under Xen 3.0.2 this would crash the
entire dom and cause it to reboot. Taking advice from this list, I
downloaded and compiled the xen-3.0.3-testing.hg repository at
http://xenbits.xensource.com/ and attempted to debug the application
again.
After this upgrade, the segfault in the application did not crash the
dom anymore, but the debugger was unable to attach to the process. Here
is the output from a session debugging my segfaulting program using
MingW's gdb for Win32:

Notice that the signal caught is a SIGTRAP and repeatedly pressing "c"
to attempt to get the application to continue causes gdb to remain in
"ntdll!DbgUiConnectToDbg" indefinitely.
Out of curiosity, I then loaded the same drive image into qemu 0.8.2 to
see if qemu would allow me to debug the application. Here is the output
of the qemu gdb session:

Compared to the Xen session above, the signal is now SIGSEGV and gdb can
connect to the application and debug it without any problems.
Unfortunately swapping between qemu/Xen is not really an option, as
everytime I switch I need to ring MS to get my copy of XP reactivated as
it detects too many hardware changes!!!
Hopefully people are still with me at this point :) So my questions are:
1) Why is the behaviour of gdb under Xen different from that
under qemu? Is it to do with the way gdb interacts with the
processor?
2) Can this behaviour be fixed? This is the only barrier
preventing me from doing all of my development work under Xen.
Many thanks,
Mark.
