The dump file is in ELF format and data is written in ELF notes.
Use readelf -a on the file and you'll get something like the
following at the end of the output:
...
Notes at offset 0x000001c8 with length 0x00000328:
Owner Data size Description
CORE 0x00000150 NT_PRSTATUS (prstatus structure)
QEMU 0x000001b0 Unknown note type: (0x00000000)
The registers sit in the NT_PRSTATUS note (hence somewhere offset
0x000001c8 and 0x000001c8+0x00000150+0x14 (the latter is the ELF note
header size). Be aware that intel is little endian: if RIP is 0x00012345,
you need to look for '45 23 01 00' in the file.
