475The two required arguments are FILE and ARCH:
476FILE identifies the target file to write the guest vmcore to.
477ARCH specifies the architecture for which the core will be generated.
478
479This GDB command reimplements the dump-guest-memory QMP command in
480python, using the representation of guest memory as captured in the qemu
481coredump. The qemu process that has been dumped must have had the
482command line option "-machine dump-guest-core=on" which is the default.
483
484For simplicity, the "paging", "begin" and "end" parameters of the QMP
485command are not supported -- no attempt is made to get the guest's
486internal paging structures (ie. paging=false is hard-wired), and guest
487memory is always fully dumped.
488
489Currently aarch64-be, aarch64-le, X86_64, 386, s390, ppc64-be,
490ppc64-le guests are supported.
491
492The CORE/NT_PRSTATUS and QEMU notes (that is, the VCPUs' statuses) are
493not written to the vmcore. Preparing these would require context that is
494only present in the KVM host kernel module when the guest is alive. A
495fake ELF note is written instead, only to keep the ELF parser of "crash"
496happy.
497
498Dependent on how busted the qemu process was at the time of the
499coredump, this command might produce unpredictable results. If qemu
500deliberately called abort(), or it was dumped in response to a signal at
501a halfway fortunate point, then its coredump should be in reasonable
502shape and this command should mostly work."""
