It is a synchronous operation that can take # very long depending on the amount of guest memory. # # @paging: if true, do paging to get guest's memory mapping. This allows # using gdb to process the core file. # # IMPORTANT: this option can make QEMU allocate several gigabytes # of RAM. This can happen for a large guest, or a # malicious guest pretending to be large. # # Also, paging=true has the following limitations: # # 1. The guest may be in a catastrophic state or can have corrupted # memory, which cannot be trusted # 2. The guest can be in real-mode even if paging is enabled. For # example, the guest uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep state # goes in real-mode # 3. Currently only supported on i386 and x86_64. # # @protocol: the filename or file descriptor of the vmcore. The supported # protocols are: # # 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. # # @detach: if true, QMP will return immediately rather than # waiting for the dump to finish. The user can track progress # using "query-dump". (since 2.6). # # @begin: if specified, the starting physical address. # # @length: if specified, the memory size, in bytes. If you don't # want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start @begin # and @length # # @format: if specified, the format of guest memory dump. But non-elf # format is conflict with paging and filter, ie. @paging, @begin and # @length is not allowed to be specified with non-elf @format at the # same time (since 2.0) # # Note: All boolean arguments default to false # # Returns: nothing on success # # Since: 1.2 # # Example: # # -> { "execute": "dump-guest-memory", # "arguments": { "protocol": "fd:dump" } } # <- { "return": {} } # ## { 'command': 'dump-guest-memory', 'data': { 'paging': 'bool', 'protocol': 'str', '*detach': 'bool', '*begin': 'int', '*length': 'int', '*format': 'DumpGuestMemoryFormat'} } ## # @DumpStatus: # # Describe the status of a long-running background guest memory dump. # # @none: no dump-guest-memory has started yet. # # @active: there is one dump running in background. # # @completed: the last dump has finished successfully. # # @failed: the last dump has failed. # # Since: 2.6 ## { 'enum': 'DumpStatus', 'data': [ 'none', 'active', 'completed', 'failed' ] } ## # @DumpQueryResult: # # The result format for 'query-dump'. # # @status: enum of @DumpStatus, which shows current dump status # # @completed: bytes written in latest dump (uncompressed) # # @total: total bytes to be written in latest dump (uncompressed) # # Since: 2.6 ## { 'struct': 'DumpQueryResult', 'data': { 'status': 'DumpStatus', 'completed': 'int', 'total': 'int' } } ## # @query-dump: # # Query latest dump status. # # Returns: A @DumpStatus object showing the dump status. # # Since: 2.6 # # Example: # # -> { "execute": "query-dump" } # <- { "return": { "status": "active", "completed": 1024000, # "total": 2048000 } } # ## { 'command': 'query-dump', 'returns': 'DumpQueryResult' } ## # @DUMP_COMPLETED: # # Emitted when background dump has completed # # @result: final dump status # # @error: human-readable error string that provides # hint on why dump failed.
