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