H A DBaseKvmCPU.py11399:3f805b5c48ae Wed Mar 30 05:52:00 EDT 2016 Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> kvm: Add an option to force context sync on kvm entry/exit

This changeset adds an option to force the kvm-based CPUs to always
synchronize the gem5 thread context representation on entry/exit into
the kernel. This is very useful for debugging. Unfortunately, it is
also the only way to get reliable register contents when using remote
gdb functionality. The long-term solution for the latter would be to
implement a kvm-specific thread context.
