dump_iterate() dumps blocks in a loop. Eventually, get_next_block()
returns "no more". We then call dump_completed(). But we neglect to
break the loop! Broken in commit 4c7e251a.
Because of that, we dump the last block again. This attempts to write
to s->fd, which fails if we're lucky. The error makes dump_iterate()
return failure. It's the only way it can ever return.
Theoretical: if we're not so lucky, something else has opened something
for writing and got the same fd. dump_iterate() then keeps looping,
messing up the something else's output, until a write fails, or the
process mercifully terminates.
The obvious fix is to restore the return lost in commit 4c7e251a. But
the root cause of the bug is needlessly opaque loop control. Replace it
by a clean do ... while loop.
This makes the badly chosen return values of get_next_block() more
visible. Cleaning that up is outside the scope of this bug fix.

The specific ELF architecture (d_machine) carries Too Much Information

"d_class" instead (ELFCLASS32 vs. ELFCLASS64).
This change adapts write_dump_header() to write_elf_loads(), dump_begin()
etc. that also rely on the ELF class of the target for bitness selection.
Considering the current targets that support dumping, cpu_get_dump_info()
works as follows:
- target-s390x/arch_dump.c: (EM_S390, ELFCLASS64) only
- target-ppc/arch_dump.c (EM_PPC64, ELFCLASS64) only
- target-i386/arch_dump.c: sets (EM_X86_64, ELFCLASS64) vs. (EM_386,
ELFCLASS32) keying off the same Long Mode Active flag.

Use TARGET_PAGE_SIZE and ~TARGET_PAGE_MASK instead.
"DumpState.page_size" has type "size_t", whereas TARGET_PAGE_SIZE has type
"int". TARGET_PAGE_MASK is of type "int" and has negative value. The patch
affects the implicit type conversions as follows:
- create_header32() and create_header64(): assigned to "block_size", which
has type "uint32_t". No change.
- get_next_page(): "block->target_start", "block->target_end" and "addr"
have type "hwaddr" (uint64_t).
Before the patch,
- if "size_t" was "uint64_t", then no additional conversion was done as
part of the usual arithmetic conversions,
- If "size_t" was "uint32_t", then it was widened to uint64_t as part of
the usual arithmetic conversions,
for the remainder and addition operators.
After the patch,
- "~TARGET_PAGE_MASK" expands to ~~((1 << TARGET_PAGE_BITS) - 1). It
has type "int" and positive value (only least significant bits set).
That's converted (widened) to "uint64_t" for the bit-ands. No visible
change.
- The same holds for the (addr + TARGET_PAGE_SIZE) addition.
- write_dump_pages():
- TARGET_PAGE_SIZE passed as argument to a bunch of functions that all
have prototypes. No change.
- When incrementing "offset_data" (of type "off_t"): given that we never
build for ILP32_OFF32 (see "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" in configure),
"off_t" is always "int64_t", and we only need to consider:
- ILP32_OFFBIG: "size_t" is "uint32_t".
- before: int64_t += uint32_t. Page size converted to int64_t for
the addition.
- after: int64_t += int32_t. No change.
- LP64_OFF64: "size_t" is "uint64_t".
- before: int64_t += uint64_t. Offset converted to uint64_t for the
addition, then the uint64_t result is converted to int64_t for
storage.
- after: int64_t += int32_t. Same as the ILP32_OFFBIG/after case.
No visible change.
- (size_out < s->page_size) comparisons, and (size_out = s->page_size)
assignment:
- before: "size_out" is of type "size_t", no implicit conversion for
either operator.
- after: TARGET_PAGE_SIZE (of type "int" and positive value) is
converted to "size_t" (for the relop because the latter is
one of "uint32_t" and "uint64_t"). No visible change.
- dump_init():
- DIV_ROUND_UP(DIV_ROUND_UP(s->max_mapnr, CHAR_BIT), s->page_size): The
innermost "DumpState.max_mapnr" field has type uint64_t, which
propagates through all implicit conversions at hand:
#define DIV_ROUND_UP(n,d) (((n) + (d) - 1) / (d))
regardless of the page size macro argument's type. In the outer macro
replacement, the page size is converted from uint32_t and int32_t
alike to uint64_t.
- (tmp * s->page_size) multiplication: "tmp" has size "uint64_t"; the
RHS is converted to that type from uint32_t and int32_t just the same
if it's not uint64_t to begin with.
