472The two required arguments are FILE and ARCH:
473FILE identifies the target file to write the guest vmcore to.
474ARCH specifies the architecture for which the core will be generated.
475
476This GDB command reimplements the dump-guest-memory QMP command in
477python, using the representation of guest memory as captured in the qemu
478coredump. The qemu process that has been dumped must have had the
479command line option "-machine dump-guest-core=on" which is the default.
480
481For simplicity, the "paging", "begin" and "end" parameters of the QMP
482command are not supported -- no attempt is made to get the guest's
483internal paging structures (ie. paging=false is hard-wired), and guest
484memory is always fully dumped.
485
486Currently aarch64-be, aarch64-le, X86_64, 386, s390, ppc64-be,
487ppc64-le guests are supported.
488
489The CORE/NT_PRSTATUS and QEMU notes (that is, the VCPUs' statuses) are
490not written to the vmcore. Preparing these would require context that is
491only present in the KVM host kernel module when the guest is alive. A
492fake ELF note is written instead, only to keep the ELF parser of "crash"
493happy.
494
495Dependent on how busted the qemu process was at the time of the
496coredump, this command might produce unpredictable results. If qemu
497deliberately called abort(), or it was dumped in response to a signal at
498a halfway fortunate point, then its coredump should be in reasonable
499shape and this command should mostly work."""
