See this commit in the Linux sources: 108fc82596e3b66b819df9d28c1ebbc9ab5de14c that adds a way to send guest trace data over to the host. I think that's the most relevant to your use-case. However, you'll have to add an in-kernel user of virtio-serial (like the virtio-console code -- the code that deals with tty and hvc currently). There's no other non-tty user right now, and this is the right kind of use-case to add one for! For many other (userspace) use-cases, see the qemu-guest-agent in the qemu sources. The API is documented in the wiki: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Virtio-serial_API and the feature pages have some information that may help as well: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtioSerial There are some links in here too: http://log.amitshah.net/2010/09/communication-between-guests-and-hosts/ Hope this helps.
