index ``msr_index`` (in hexadecimal) for CPU ID ``pcpu_id``
Command examples
****************
The following sections provide further details and examples for some of these commands.
vm_list
=======
``vm_list`` provides the name of each virtual machine and its corresponding ID and
state.
.. figure:: images/shell_image8.png
:align: center
vm_list information
vcpu_list
=========
``vcpu_list`` provides information about virtual CPUs (vCPU), including
the VM ID, PCPU ID, VCPU ID, VCPU ROLE (primary or secondary), and VCPU
STATE (init, paused, running, zombie or unknown).
.. figure:: images/shell_image7.png
:align: center
vcpu_list information
vcpu_dumpreg
============
``vcpu_dumpreg vmid cpuid`` provides vCPU related information such as
registers values, etc.
In the following example, we dump vCPU0 RIP register value and get into
the Service VM to search for the currently running function, using these
commands::
cat /proc/kallsyms | grep RIP_value
As you can see, vCPU0 is running in
function ``acpi_idle_do_entry``.
.. figure:: images/shell_image10.png
:align: center
vcpu_dumpreg information
.. figure:: images/shell_image9.png
:align: center
system map information
dump_host_mem
=============
``dump_host_mem hva length`` provides the specified memory target data such as
the physical CPU (pCPU) number, etc.
In this example, we know the pCPU active bitmap and physical CPU number
physical memory address through
``build/hypervisor/acrn.map``. (Note that the path for
``acrn.map`` depends on how we build the hypervisor.)
Then we can dump the memory address of the pCPU active bitmap and CPU
number, we will know that pCPU active bitmap is 0x000000000000000f and
pCPU number is 0x0000000000000004.
.. figure:: images/shell_image12.png
:align: center
dumpmem information
.. figure:: images/shell_image11.png
:align: center
acrn map information
dump_guest_mem
==============
The ``dump_guest_mem`` command can dump guest memory according to the given
VM ID and guest virtual address (``gva``).
In this example, we know the starting address of kernel text segment
in guest console or through the ``system.map`` (Note that the path for
``system.map`` depends on how we build the kernel)
.. figure:: images/shell_image19.png
:align: center
guest virtual address
.. figure:: images/shell_image20.png
:align: center
guest memory information
vm_console
===========
The ``vm_console`` command switches the ACRN's console to become the VM's console.
Use a :kbd:`Ctrl-Spacebar` to return to the ACRN shell console.
vioapic
=======
``vioapic <vm_id>`` shows the virtual IOAPIC information for a specific
VM. In the following figure, we show the virtual IOPIC information for
VM1:
.. figure:: images/shell_image6.png
:align: center
vioapic information
dump_ioapic
===========
``dump_ioapic`` provides IOAPIC information and we can get IRQ number,
IRQ vector number, etc.
.. figure:: images/shell_image14.png
:align: center
dump_ioapic information
pt
==
``pt`` provides pass-through detailed information, such as the virtual
machine number, interrupt type, interrupt request, interrupt vector,
trigger mode, etc.
.. figure:: images/shell_image13.png
:align: center
pt information
int
===
``int`` provides interrupt information on all CPUs and their corresponding
interrupt vector.
.. figure:: images/shell_image17.png
:align: center
int information
cpuid
=====
``cpuid <leaf> [subleaf]`` provides the CPUID leaf [subleaf] in
hexadecimal.
.. figure:: images/shell_image15.png
:align: center
cpuid information
rdmsr
=====
We can read model specific register (MSR) to get register
values through ``rdmsr [-p<pcpu_id>] <msr_index>``.
In the following example, we can get IA32_APIC_BASE value of pCPU 0 through
the command::
rdmsr -p0 1b
and see that 1B (Hexadecimal) is the IA32_APIC_BASE MSR address.
.. figure:: images/shell_image16.png
:align: center
IA32_APIC_BASE register information
.. figure:: images/shell_image18.png
:align: center
rdmsr information
wrmsr
=====
We can write model specific register (MSR) to set register
values through ``wrmsr [-p<pcpu_id>] <msr_index> <value>``.
In the following example, we can set IA32_APIC_BASE value of pCPU 1 through
the command::
wrmsr -p1 1b 0xfee00c00
