474The two required arguments are FILE and ARCH:
475FILE identifies the target file to write the guest vmcore to.
476ARCH specifies the architecture for which the core will be generated.
477
478This GDB command reimplements the dump-guest-memory QMP command in
479python, using the representation of guest memory as captured in the qemu
480coredump. The qemu process that has been dumped must have had the
481command line option "-machine dump-guest-core=on" which is the default.
482
483For simplicity, the "paging", "begin" and "end" parameters of the QMP
484command are not supported -- no attempt is made to get the guest's
485internal paging structures (ie. paging=false is hard-wired), and guest
486memory is always fully dumped.
487
488Currently aarch64-be, aarch64-le, X86_64, 386, s390, ppc64-be,
489ppc64-le guests are supported.
490
491The CORE/NT_PRSTATUS and QEMU notes (that is, the VCPUs' statuses) are
492not written to the vmcore. Preparing these would require context that is
493only present in the KVM host kernel module when the guest is alive. A
494fake ELF note is written instead, only to keep the ELF parser of "crash"
495happy.
496
497Dependent on how busted the qemu process was at the time of the
498coredump, this command might produce unpredictable results. If qemu
499deliberately called abort(), or it was dumped in response to a signal at
500a halfway fortunate point, then its coredump should be in reasonable
501shape and this command should mostly work."""
