434
435The two required arguments are FILE and ARCH:
436FILE identifies the target file to write the guest vmcore to.
437ARCH specifies the architecture for which the core will be generated.
438
439This GDB command reimplements the dump-guest-memory QMP command in
440python, using the representation of guest memory as captured in the qemu
441coredump. The qemu process that has been dumped must have had the
442command line option "-machine dump-guest-core=on" which is the default.
443
444For simplicity, the "paging", "begin" and "end" parameters of the QMP
445command are not supported -- no attempt is made to get the guest's
446internal paging structures (ie. paging=false is hard-wired), and guest
447memory is always fully dumped.
448
449Currently aarch64-be, aarch64-le, X86_64, 386, s390, ppc64-be,
450ppc64-le guests are supported.
451
452The CORE/NT_PRSTATUS and QEMU notes (that is, the VCPUs' statuses) are
453not written to the vmcore. Preparing these would require context that is
454only present in the KVM host kernel module when the guest is alive. A
455fake ELF note is written instead, only to keep the ELF parser of "crash"
456happy.
457
458Dependent on how busted the qemu process was at the time of the
459coredump, this command might produce unpredictable results. If qemu
460deliberately called abort(), or it was dumped in response to a signal at
461a halfway fortunate point, then its coredump should be in reasonable
462shape and this command should mostly work."""
