Thank you very much for this - it looks super-useful!  Does this
technique only work if the guest kernel has debugging enabled, or can
it work on all systems?

I have some commetns on the code, below.

This needs a comment describing the Windows name of what it points to.

These new functions don't belong in the 'Utility functions' section.
Please move them to beside the other OS-finding code.

Here and elsewhere, please read directly into the variables, e.g.:

  uint32_t pe_hdr;
  kdd_read_virtual(s, s->cpuid, filebase + DOS_HDR_PE_OFF,
                   sizeof pe_hdr, &pe_hdr);
  pe_hdr += filebase;

That gives neater code and avoids any confusion about the sizes of
various copies and buffers.

This needs a check for very large numbers -- loading 65,535 section
headers might take a long time.

Just 'return 0' will do here, and..

return -1 here, and drop 'ret'.

At the point where you call this, s->os == unknown_os, so you are
modifying unknown_os here!

Please declare another static kdd_os to fill in here.  Then you can
set w64=1 in that without needing any TODOs or checks here.

I would also prefer if this function just returned 0/-1 - then
you don't need a 'goto fail' path.  You can just return -1
everywhere, and you can call it from the bottom of 'find_os()', as:

 if (get_os_info_64(s) != 0)
     s->os = unknown_os;

Please drop all printf() calls and just use KDD_LOG() / KDD_DEBUG

Please remove all commented-out code.

Please set some reasonable limit to how far this will search.
Presumably we expect to find the header within < 1 GB ?

KDD_DEBUG() and return false.

This needs a limit: data_size came from guest memory and we don't want
to do 500 million iterations here.

I think this code would be much cleaner if you defined a struct with the
correct fields instead of trying to parse them by hand out of a buffer.

We need a test here for whether we ran off the end of the while()
loop without finding the magic struct.

As I said above, please call get_os_info_64() from find_os() instead
of calling it from here.

Please only set this if s->os.kddl is != 0.

As I said, overall this looks like a really useful improvement and I
look forward to seing your revised patch!
