Tutorial 13 - Debugger ====================== Let's rock by implementing an interactive debugger in our exception handler! :-) Now that we have printf(), it shouldn't be hard. ```sh $ qemu-system-aarch64 -M raspi3 -kernel kernel8.img -serial stdio Synchronous: Breakpoint instruction > x 0007FFF0: 13 60 09 00 00 00 00 00 24 10 20 3F 00 00 00 00 .`......$. ?.... > i x30 x30+64 00080804: D2800000 movz x0, #0x0 00080808: 94003D1C bl 0x8FC78 0008080C: 94003ECF bl 0x90348 00080810: D69F03E0 eret 00080814: D503201F 27 x nop > ``` Dbg.h, dbg.c ------------ A very minimal and simple debugger (~300 lines in C). `breakpoint` a newly defined keyword. We can use this anywhere in our code where we want to invoke the debugger `dbg_decodeexc()` similar to exc_handler in tutorial 11, decodes the cause of the exception and prints it `dbg_getline()` yep, another low level library we're missing. We need a way to allow the user to edit command line and return it as a string when he/she presses Enter. A minimal implementation, as usual `dbg_getoffs()` this function parses the command line for arguments. Accepts hex, decimal number in "register+/-offset" format `dbg_main()` the main loop of the debugger. Disasm.h -------- Because it's small (~72k), extremely easy to integrate, yet it supports all ARMv8.2 instructions, I decided to use the [Universal Disassembler](https://github.com/bztsrc/udisasm) for this tutorial. If you don't want to compile a disassembler into your debugger, simply set the DISASSEMBLER define 0 in top of dbg.c. Start ----- Our `_vector` table looks different. We have to save registers in memory with `dbg_saveregs`, print out the cause of the exception, and call our mini-debugger's main loop. Main ---- We'll test our shiny new `breakpoint` keyword in C.
