So there is no register that says "this breakpoint has triggered" or "this watchpoint has triggered"?Nope. You take a debug exception; the syndrome register tells you if it was a bp or a wp, and if it was a wp the fault address register tells you the address being accessed (if it was a bp you know the program counter, obviously). The debugger is expected to be able to figure it out from there, if it cares.That's already good enough---do the KVM_DEBUG_EXIT_* constants match the syndrome register, or if not why?No they don't. I did consider it at the time but I was wary of pulling too much over into the uapi headers wholesale. If your happy to do that I'll include the change in my next version. I could also rationalise the exit handlers as they all pretty much do the same thing (save for the exit/syndrome related info). Again I was keeping things nicely separated in case any particular exception needed excessive special case handling. Would you like those changes?
Yes, please. Paolo
