 437
 438The two required arguments are FILE and ARCH:
 439FILE identifies the target file to write the guest vmcore to.
 440ARCH specifies the architecture for which the core will be generated.
 441
 442This GDB command reimplements the dump-guest-memory QMP command in
 443python, using the representation of guest memory as captured in the qemu
 444coredump. The qemu process that has been dumped must have had the
 445command line option "-machine dump-guest-core=on" which is the default.
 446
 447For simplicity, the "paging", "begin" and "end" parameters of the QMP
 448command are not supported -- no attempt is made to get the guest's
 449internal paging structures (ie. paging=false is hard-wired), and guest
 450memory is always fully dumped.
 451
 452Currently aarch64-be, aarch64-le, X86_64, 386, s390, ppc64-be,
 453ppc64-le guests are supported.
 454
 455The CORE/NT_PRSTATUS and QEMU notes (that is, the VCPUs' statuses) are
 456not written to the vmcore. Preparing these would require context that is
 457only present in the KVM host kernel module when the guest is alive. A
 458fake ELF note is written instead, only to keep the ELF parser of "crash"
 459happy.
 460
 461Dependent on how busted the qemu process was at the time of the
 462coredump, this command might produce unpredictable results. If qemu
 463deliberately called abort(), or it was dumped in response to a signal at
 464a halfway fortunate point, then its coredump should be in reasonable
 465shape and this command should mostly work."""
