QEMU With E2K User Support
3e16d14fd9
When qemu dies unexpectedly, for example in response to an explicit abort() call, or (more importantly) when an external signal is delivered to it that results in a coredump, sometimes it is useful to extract the guest vmcore from the qemu process' memory image. The guest vmcore might help understand an emulation problem in qemu, or help debug the guest. This script reimplements (and cuts many features of) the qmp_dump_guest_memory() command in gdb/Python, https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Python-API.html working off the saved memory image of the qemu process. The docstring in the patch (serving as gdb help text) describes the limitations relative to the QMP command. Dependencies of qmp_dump_guest_memory() have been reimplemented as needed. I sought to follow the general structure, sticking to original function names where possible. However, keeping it simple prevailed in some places. The patch has been tested with a 4 VCPU, 768 MB, RHEL-6.4 (2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64) guest: - The script printed > guest RAM blocks: > target_start target_end host_addr message count > ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------- ----- > 0000000000000000 00000000000a0000 00007f95d0000000 added 1 > 00000000000a0000 00000000000b0000 00007f960ac00000 added 2 > 00000000000c0000 00000000000ca000 00007f95d00c0000 added 3 > 00000000000ca000 00000000000cd000 00007f95d00ca000 joined 3 > 00000000000cd000 00000000000d0000 00007f95d00cd000 joined 3 > 00000000000d0000 00000000000f0000 00007f95d00d0000 joined 3 > 00000000000f0000 0000000000100000 00007f95d00f0000 joined 3 > 0000000000100000 0000000030000000 00007f95d0100000 joined 3 > 00000000fc000000 00000000fc800000 00007f960ac00000 added 4 > 00000000fffe0000 0000000100000000 00007f9618800000 added 5 > dumping range at 00007f95d0000000 for length 00000000000a0000 > dumping range at 00007f960ac00000 for length 0000000000010000 > dumping range at 00007f95d00c0000 for length 000000002ff40000 > dumping range at 00007f960ac00000 for length 0000000000800000 > dumping range at 00007f9618800000 for length 0000000000020000 -
