[PATCH] qemu: drop unused arguments for dump-guest-memory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Upstream qemu has raised a concern about whether dumping guest
memory by reading guest paging tables is a security hole:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-09/msg02607.html

While auditing libvirt to see if we would be impacted, I noticed
that we had some dead code.  It is simpler to nuke the dead code
and limit our monitor code to just the subset we make use of.

* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h (QEMU_MONITOR_DUMP): Drop poorly named
and mostly-unused enum.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c (qemuMonitorDumpToFd): Drop arguments.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h (qemuMonitorJSONDump): Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c (qemuMonitorJSONDump): Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDumpToFd): Update caller.
