Hi, all
The last version is here:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-01/msg00209.html
Command 'dump-guest-memory' was introduced to dump guest's memory. But the
vmcore's format is only elf32 or elf64. The message is here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-04/msg03379.html
Compared with migration, the missing of compression feature means regression
to 'dump-guest-memory'. So we post these patches to make 'dump-guest-memory' be
able to dump guest's in kdump-compressed format. Then vmcore can be much
smaller, and easily to be delivered.
The kdump-compressed format is *linux specific* *linux standard* crash dump
format used in kdump framework. 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. To get more detailed information about
kdump-compressed format, please refer to the following URL:

I did what was requested by Paolo. I applied patches 1 to 12 and will wait
for the rework on patch 13.
Unfortunately this series doesn't build on 32-bit hosts, so I had to drop it
from my queue (see error below). Can you please do the following:
1. Fix the build
2. Add new patch 13/13 to the series
3. Add Ekaterina's patch to your series
Thanks. Here's the error message:
