Hi,I agree that the feature is useful, but I am not sure yet if I will apply as is. I am adding support in QEMU for deterministic execution and your patch won't be needed once this new feature is released.
BTW, why do you stop real time timers ? These timers are only used for things which do not interfere with the VM (such as VGA refresh).

This patch adds the functionality to the gdb-stub to single step with the IRQs and timers disabled. It greatly improves gdb's ability to perform run control while running a linux kernel and stepping off of breakpoints or stepping into certain types of functions. I have also included individual controls for IRQs and timers to restore the original behavior, since it is useful as well.signed-off-by: address@hidden Jason.
