Sometimes dumping inside of a VM fails, is unavailable or doesn't yield the required data. For these occasions we dump the VM from the outside, writing memory and cpu data to a file. Up to now PV guests only supported dumping from the inside of the guest through dumpers like KDUMP. A PV guest can be dumped from the hypervisor but the data will be stale and / or encrypted. To get the actual state of the PV VM we need the help of the Ultravisor who safeguards the VM state. New UV calls have been added to initialize the dump, dump storage state data, dump cpu data and complete the dump process.
