write_elf32_notes/wirte_elf64_notes use fd_write_vmcore to write elf notes to
vmcore. Adding argument "WriteCoreDumpFunction f" makes it available to choose
the way of writing elf notes when calling these two functions.

flatten format may be used when writing kdump-compressed format. To get more
detailed information about flatten format of kdump-compressed format, please
refer to the following URL:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/makedumpfile/
The two functions here are used to write start flat header and end flat header
to vmcore, and they will be called later if flatten format is used.
struct MakedumpfileHeader stored at the head of vmcore is used to indicate the
vmcore is in flatten format.
struct MakedumpfileHeader {
char signature[16]; /* = "makedumpfile" */
int64_t type; /* = 1 */
int64_t version; /* = 1 */
};
And struct MakedumpfileDataHeader, with offset and buf_size set to -1, is used
to indicate the end of vmcore in flatten format.
struct MakedumpfileDataHeader {
int64_t offset; /* = -1 */
int64_t buf_size; /* = -1 */
};

Why is buf[] necessary? You can write mh directly.

The size of header should be MAX_SIZE_MDF_HEADER not "sizeof(mh)". So the buf[]
is used to fill the gap between mh and the first MakedumpfileDataHeader.

Function is used to write vmcore. If flag_flatten is specified, flatten format
will be used. In flatten format, data is written block by block in vmcore.
struct MakedumpfileDataHeader is used to indicate the offset and size of a data
block.
struct MakedumpfileDataHeader {
int64_t offset;
int64_t buf_size;
};

the function can be used by write_elf32_notes/write_elf64_notes. If
fd_write_vmcore is called by write_elf32_notes/write_elf64_notes, elf notes will
be written to vmcore by fd_write_vmcore directly. Instead, buf_write_note will
write elf notes to opaque->note_buf. And the elf notes stored in
opaque->note_buf will be used later.

the functions are used to write header of kdump-compressed format to vmcore.
Header of kdump-compressed format includes:
1. common header: DiskDumpHeader32 / DiskDumpHeader64
2. sub header: KdumpSubHeader32 / KdumpSubHeader64
3. extra information: only elf notes here

These variables must be initialized to NULL so that an early goto out

functions are used to write 1st and 2nd dump_bitmap of kdump-compressed format,
which is used to indicate whether the corresponded page is existed in vmcore.
Dump level 1 is chosen, so 1st and 2nd dump_bitmap are same.

Can you reuse sync_dump_bitmap() here instead of duplicating this code?

DataCache is used to store data temporarily, then the data will be written to
vmcore. These functions will be called later when writing data of page to
vmcore.

Please also include a run-time check so QEMU can produce an error when a
user chooses a compression algorithm which is not built in. For
example, the user should get a clear error when they select Snappy but
QEMU was built without Snappy support.

Please introduce constants for these magic numbers. I don't know what
they mean.

QEMU has an optimized buffer_is_zero() function which you can use
instead.

This goto jumps over the declaration of wrkmem. The g_free(wrkmem)
below will result in undefined behavior! Please define wrkmem above and
initialize it to NULL.

The guest may be 32-bit or 64-bit, independently of the QEMU host
wordsize. Is off_t correct when running a 64-bit guest on a 32-bit
host?
I guess you are assuming off_t == uint64_t here?

The 'offset' should be 64-bit in kdump format both on 32-bit and 64-bit. And I
will avoid using off_t in structure used by kdump format. Thanks for pointing
it out.

Here's an instance where runtime introspection would come in handy -
knowing which values of an enum are actually supportable, vs. the entire
list of names but relying on decent errors for the elements that weren't
compiled in.

Make monitor command 'dump-guest-memory' be able to dump in kdump-compressed
format. The command's usage:
dump [-p] protocol [begin] [length] [format]
'format' is used to specified the format of vmcore and can be:
1. 'elf': ELF format, without compression
2. 'kdump-zlib': kdump-compressed format, with zlib-compressed
3. 'kdump-lzo': kdump-compressed format, with lzo-compressed
4. 'kdump-snappy': kdump-compressed format, with snappy-compressed
And without 'format' being set, it is same as 'elf'.
Note:
1. The kdump-compressed format is readable only with the crash utility, and
it can be smaller than the ELF format because of the compression support.
2. The kdump-compressed format is the 5th edition.

What do you think about the process of creating vmcore in kdump-compressed

I wasn't aware that you've been working on dump changes.
I'm afraid this series of yours, and my series
[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] dump-guest-memory: correct the vmcores
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-07/msg05469.html
are going to conflict violently.
Since my series is a bugfix for existing, non-compressed functionality
(--> vmcores dumped for 3.5G+ guests are corrupt), *and* you look like a
vmcore/dump expert, could you please give it a look? :)
Normally, your series *should* take priority, because it's been on the
list for much longer. However considering the 1.6 hard freeze, my
series, being a bugfix, might go in earlier. Do you think you could
rebase your work on mine (if it is accepted, that is)?
Apologies for the mess...
Thanks
Laszlo

QMP introspection didn't make it for 1.6. I'd say it's the same for this
series at this point in time, unless you have a compelling reason to
include this (but then you'd have to add this as a new command).

Never mind about your mess, for I am still waiting for introspection. And your
patches seem good to me.

Hi, all
Would you please give some advice about how to continue my series?
My patches have stuck for several months, because I was not allowed to add an
option before introspection is implemented. After observing mails about
introspection, I find it is still not confirmed its implement way. Since I got
a deadline about this feature(in three months), I have to ask for some advice
about these patches.
First, I hope to confirm whether it is impossible to add an option to 'dump-
guest-memory'. If the answer is impossible, then should I still wait for
introspection or just change to add a new command?

I can see several options:
1. Take over the introspection patches and push them through to completion
2. Come up with some alternative witness when your feature is available.
Full-blown introspection of the entire QAPI schema is a heavy hammer,
and if we can have something simpler to use for just this case, but
still discoverable, then management can use that simpler method to learn
if this feature is present. See for example how we added
'query-migrate-capabilities' as a way to add migration capabilities
without needing fullblown introspection.
3. Rebase your patches and post without waiting for any means of
discovery - maybe someone will still be interested enough in using the
patches even without management being able to programmatically determine
the availability.
This is a busy list; it doesn't mean your patch will be outright
rejected, but if you aren't actively pinging and rebasing it, the patch
gets less attention, so people assume no one wanted it. Thanks for
reviving the discussion, and good luck with what you try next.
Personally, I think that both option 1 and 2 at the same time is worth
pursuing (I'd really like introspection, but introspection is a heavy
hammer so having something lighter weight for just your feature is also
worth having).
