* debugcon: support for debugging consoles (e.g. Bochs port 0xe9)H. Peter Anvin2010-01-081-0/+107
Add generic support for debugging consoles (simple I/O ports which when written to cause debugging output to be written to a target.) The current implementation matches Bochs' port 0xe9, allowing the same debugging code to be used for both Bochs and Qemu. There is no vm state associated with the debugging port, simply because it has none -- the entire interface is a single, stateless, write-only port. Most of the code was cribbed from the serial port driver. v2: removed non-ISA variants (they can be introduced when/if someone wants them, using code from the serial port); added configurable readback (Bochs returns 0xe9 on a read from this register, mimic that by default) This retains the apparently somewhat controversial user friendly option, however. v3: reimplemented the user friendly option as a synthetic option ("-debugcon foo" basically ends up being a parser-level shorthand for "-chardev stdio,id=debugcon -device isa-debugcon,chardev=debugcon") -- this dramatically reduced the complexity while keeping the same level of user friendliness. v4: spaces, not tabs. v5: update to match current top of tree. Calling qemu_chr_open() already during parsing no longer works; defer until we are parsing the other console-like devices. Signed-off-by: H.
