This patch fixes corefile access by ensuring that the open fd to the corefile (current_domid) is passed to the underlying xc_routines as neccessary. Currently the prevailing pid is passed, which works fine when attaching to a running domain, but fails for the corefile case.
This is too gross.The correct fix is to update the xc_ptrace_core() interface to match the xc_ptrace() interface. Kip Macy made the latter SMP aware, but didn't fix up the former.
It should be easy to do -- note how xc_ptrace() takes a domid on PTRACE_ATTACH, and vcpuid at all other times. xc_ptrace_core() should take a fd on PTRACE_ATTACH, and vcpuid at all other times. Since we don't dump SMP core files right now, vcpuid should either be ignored for the time being, or fail the call if vcpuid!=0.
