[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/1] possible fix for hw breakpoint crash on x86 32bit host |

The aim of this patch is to either fix the problem or at least
describe the circumstances around the crash using a 32 bit x86 linux
host with a 32 bit linux guest making use of hw breakpoints.
I had also seen the same problem reported here:

---- running qemu in gdb with a linux kernel as the guest ----

I concluded that env points to the ebp register and it only has a
valid value while executing from the generated code context. I
created another function to pass in the valid version of env in order
to set ebp in preparation to eventually execute a longjmp() via the
raise_exception().
It is not clear that this is the right way to fix the problem, but it
does allow the guest hw breakpoint tests to work correctly on a 32 bit
and 64 bit x86 linux host.
If there is a better way to solve this, please let me know.
Thanks,
Jason.
