[PATCH 1/2] KVM: document KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG api

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

In preparation for working on the ARM implementation I noticed the debug
interface was missing from the API document. I've pieced together the
expected behaviour from the code and commit messages written it up as
best I can.

+4.87 KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG
+Architectures: x86, s390, ppc
+Type: vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_guest_debug (in)
+Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error
+
+struct kvm_guest_debug {
+       __u32 control;
+       __u32 pad;
+       struct kvm_guest_debug_arch arch;
+};
+
+Set up the processor specific debug registers and configure vcpu for
+handling guest debug events. There are two parts to the structure, the
+first a control bitfield indicates the type of debug events to handle
+when running. Common control bits are:
+
+  - KVM_GUESTDBG_ENABLE:        guest debugging is enabled
+  - KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP:    the next run should single-step
+
+The top 16 bits of the control field are architecture specific control
+flags which can include the following:
+
+  - KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_SW_BP:     using software breakpoints [x86]
+  - KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_HW_BP:     using hardware breakpoints [x86, s390]
+  - KVM_GUESTDBG_INJECT_DB:     inject DB type exception [x86]
+  - KVM_GUESTDBG_INJECT_BP:     inject BP type exception [x86]
+  - KVM_GUESTDBG_EXIT_PENDING:  trigger an immediate guest exit [s390]
+
+For example KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_SW_BP indicates that software breakpoints
+are enabled in memory so we need to ensure breakpoint exceptions are
+correctly trapped and the KVM run loop exits at the breakpoint and not
+running off into the normal guest vector. For KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_HW_BP
+we need to ensure the guest vCPUs architecture specific registers are
+updated to the correct (supplied) values.
+
+The second part of the structure is architecture specific and
+typically contains a set of debug registers.
+
+When debug events exit the main run loop with the reason
+KVM_EXIT_DEBUG with the kvm_debug_exit_arch part of the kvm_run
+structure containing architecture specific debug information.
