XenAccess Equivalent?
I am trying to find a library equivalent to XenAccess for KVM. It seems that libvirt is trying to replace some of it, but doesn't have theintrospection capabilities that xenaccess does. In particular, I would like to be able, in host userspace, to access the guest's memory.
Is such a capability possible within KVM?
Thanks,

This library scares me tremendously but it should be possible to port it to KVM. The monitor provides an interface to read/write physical memory so that's probably the most natural place to interact.

Actually, something you can already do today is attach gdb to a QEMU instance and then load the guest kernel into gdb. Once you've done that, you can access all of the guest's data structures. This is precisely what XenAccess does except that it offers an API for doing it.
