2014-06-16dump: Make DumpState and endian conversion routines available for ↵Bharata B Rao
arch-specific dump code Make DumpState and endian conversion routines available for arch-specific dump code by moving into dump.h. DumpState will be needed by arch-specific dump code to access target endian information from DumpState->ArchDumpInfo. Also break the dependency of dump.h from stubs/dump.c by creating a separate dump-arch.h. This patch doesn't change any functionality. Signed-off-by: Bharata B Rao <bharata@linux.ibm.com> [ rebased on top of current master branch, renamed endian helpers to cpu_to_dump{16,32,64}, pass a DumpState * argument to endian helpers, Greg Kurz <gkurz@linux.vnet.ibm.com> ] Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz <gkurz@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [agraf: fix to apply] Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

We can (and should) rely on the fact that s->flag_compress is exactly one of DUMP_DH_COMPRESSED_ZLIB, DUMP_DH_COMPRESSED_LZO, and DUMP_DH_COMPRESSED_SNAPPY.

2014-06-11dump: select header bitness based on ELF class, not ELF architectureLaszlo Ersek
The specific ELF architecture (d_machine) carries Too Much Information (TM) for deciding between create_header32() and create_header64(), use "d_class" instead (ELFCLASS32 vs. ELFCLASS64). This change adapts write_dump_header() to write_elf_loads(), dump_begin() etc. that also rely on the ELF class of the target for bitness selection. Considering the current targets that support dumping, cpu_get_dump_info() works as follows: - target-s390x/arch_dump.c: (EM_S390, ELFCLASS64) only - target-ppc/arch_dump.c (EM_PPC64, ELFCLASS64) only - target-i386/arch_dump.c: sets (EM_X86_64, ELFCLASS64) vs. (EM_386, ELFCLASS32) keying off the same Long Mode Active flag. Hence no observable change.

2014-06-11dump: eliminate DumpState.page_size ("guest's page size")Laszlo Ersek
Use TARGET_PAGE_SIZE and ~TARGET_PAGE_MASK instead. "DumpState.page_size" has type "size_t", whereas TARGET_PAGE_SIZE has type "int". TARGET_PAGE_MASK is of type "int" and has negative value. The patch affects the implicit type conversions as follows: - create_header32() and create_header64(): assigned to "block_size", which has type "uint32_t". No change. - get_next_page(): "block->target_start", "block->target_end" and "addr" have type "hwaddr" (uint64_t). Before the patch, - if "size_t" was "uint64_t", then no additional conversion was done as part of the usual arithmetic conversions, - If "size_t" was "uint32_t", then it was widened to uint64_t as part of the usual arithmetic conversions, for the remainder and addition operators. After the patch, - "~TARGET_PAGE_MASK" expands to ~~((1 << TARGET_PAGE_BITS) - 1). It has type "int" and positive value (only least significant bits set). That's converted (widened) to "uint64_t" for the bit-ands. No visible change. - The same holds for the (addr + TARGET_PAGE_SIZE) addition. - write_dump_pages(): - TARGET_PAGE_SIZE passed as argument to a bunch of functions that all have prototypes. No change. - When incrementing "offset_data" (of type "off_t"): given that we never build for ILP32_OFF32 (see "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" in configure), "off_t" is always "int64_t", and we only need to consider: - ILP32_OFFBIG: "size_t" is "uint32_t". - before: int64_t += uint32_t. Page size converted to int64_t for the addition. - after: int64_t += int32_t. No change. - LP64_OFF64: "size_t" is "uint64_t". - before: int64_t += uint64_t. Offset converted to uint64_t for the addition, then the uint64_t result is converted to int64_t for storage. - after: int64_t += int32_t. Same as the ILP32_OFFBIG/after case. No visible change. - (size_out < s->page_size) comparisons, and (size_out = s->page_size) assignment: - before: "size_out" is of type "size_t", no implicit conversion for either operator. - after: TARGET_PAGE_SIZE (of type "int" and positive value) is converted to "size_t" (for the relop because the latter is one of "uint32_t" and "uint64_t"). No visible change. - dump_init(): - DIV_ROUND_UP(DIV_ROUND_UP(s->max_mapnr, CHAR_BIT), s->page_size): The innermost "DumpState.max_mapnr" field has type uint64_t, which propagates through all implicit conversions at hand: #define DIV_ROUND_UP(n,d) (((n) + (d) - 1) / (d)) regardless of the page size macro argument's type. In the outer macro replacement, the page size is converted from uint32_t and int32_t alike to uint64_t. - (tmp * s->page_size) multiplication: "tmp" has size "uint64_t"; the RHS is converted to that type from uint32_t and int32_t just the same if it's not uint64_t to begin with.

Just use TARGET_PAGE_BITS. "DumpState.page_shift" used to have type "uint32_t", while the replacement TARGET_PAGE_BITS has type "int".

There's no need to measure the length of MAKEDUMPFILE_SIGNATURE at runtime, nor for the extra zero-filling of "mh.signature" with strncpy().

2012-06-04introduce a new monitor command 'dump-guest-memory' to dump guest's memoryWen Congyang
The command's usage: dump-guest-memory [-p] protocol [begin] [length] The supported protocol can be file or fd: 1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following string is the file's path. 2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following string is the fd's name. Note: 1. If you want to use gdb to process the core, please specify -p option. The reason why the -p option is not default is: a. guest machine in a catastrophic state can have corrupted memory, which we cannot trust. b. The guest machine can be in read-mode even if paging is enabled. For example: the guest machine uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep state goes in real-mode. 2. If you don't want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start physical address and the length.
