2012-09-27qmp: dump-guest-memory: don't spin if non-blocking fd would blockLuiz Capitulino
fd_write_vmcore() will indefinitely spin for a non-blocking file-descriptor that would block. However, if the fd is non-blocking, how does it make sense to spin? Change this behavior to return an error instead. Note that this can only happen with an fd provided by a management application. The fd opened internally by dump-guest-memory is blocking. While there, also fix 'writen_size' variable name.

2012-06-09w32: Fix broken build (missing include file)Stefan Weil
dump.c was recently added to the code. It unconditionally includes sys/procfs which is not available with MinGW (w32, w64). It looks like this file is not needed at all (tested on Linux), so I removed it completely. Some other include statements are also redundant because they are already included in qemu-common, therefore they were removed, too.

2012-06-07dump: remove dumping stuff from cpu-all.hPaolo Bonzini
This simplifies things, because they will only be included for softmmu targets and because the stubs are taken out-of-line in separate files, which in the future could even be compiled only once. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

So that it can use the same prototype in both cases. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
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.
