* tools/misc: xen-hvmcrash: New tool to attempt to crash HVM guestsPaul Durrant2010-07-291-0/+143
This tool reads the CPU save records, overwrites RIP with a bogus value, and then restores them. This is, of course, not guaranteed to crash the guest (since the CPUs may not be executing in kernel at the time) but it's good for breaking into some tight loops that would be hard to debug otherwise.
