[PATCH for-5.0] dump: Fix writing of ELF section


From: Peter Maydell
Subject: [PATCH for-5.0] dump: Fix writing of ELF section
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2020 17:36:30 +0000

In write_elf_section() we set the 'shdr' pointer to point to local
structures shdr32 or shdr64, which we fill in to be written out to
the ELF dump.  Unfortunately the address we pass to fd_write_vmcore()
has a spurious '&' operator, so instead of writing out the section
header we write out the literal pointer value followed by whatever is
on the stack after the 'shdr' local variable.

Pass the correct address into fd_write_vmcore().

I have not tested this because I can't reproduce the conditions
under which we try to actually use write_elf_section() (they
must be rare, because currently we produce a bogus ELF file
for this code path). In dump_init() s->list.num must be
at least UINT16_MAX-1, which I think means it has to be a
paging-enabled dump and the guest's page table must be
extremely fragmented ?
