The command line option '-singlestep' and its HMP equivalent the 'singlestep' command are very confusingly named, because they have nothing to do with single-stepping the guest (either via the gdb stub or by emulation of guest CPU architectural debug facilities). What they actually do is put TCG into a mode where it puts only one guest instruction into each translation block. This is useful for some circumstances such as when you want the -d debug logging to be easier to interpret, or if you have a finicky guest binary that wants to see interrupts delivered at something other than the end of a basic block.
I'm going to take this series via target-arm.next since I'm doing a pullreq anyway.
Yes, please!
