c8750de118 migration: Add property x-postcopy-preempt-break-huge
Add a property field that can conditionally disable the "break sending huge
page" behavior in postcopy preemption.  By default it's enabled.

It should only be used for debugging purposes, and we should never remove
the "x-" prefix.

d0edb8a173 migration: Create the postcopy preempt channel asynchronously
This patch allows the postcopy preempt channel to be created
asynchronously.  The benefit is that when the connection is slow, we won't
take the BQL (and potentially block all things like QMP) for a long time
without releasing.

A function postcopy_preempt_wait_channel() is introduced, allowing the
migration thread to be able to wait on the channel creation.  The channel
is always created by the main thread, in which we'll kick a new semaphore
to tell the migration thread that the channel has created.

We'll need to wait for the new channel in two places: (1) when there's a
new postcopy migration that is starting, or (2) when there's a postcopy
migration to resume.

For the start of migration, we don't need to wait for this channel until
when we want to start postcopy, aka, postcopy_start().  We'll fail the
migration if we found that the channel creation failed (which should
probably not happen at all in 99% of the cases, because the main channel is
using the same network topology).

For a postcopy recovery, we'll need to wait in postcopy_pause().  In that
case if the channel creation failed, we can't fail the migration or we'll
crash the VM, instead we keep in PAUSED state, waiting for yet another
recovery.

60bb3c5871 migration: Postcopy recover with preempt enabled
To allow postcopy recovery, the ram fast load (preempt-only) dest QEMU thread
needs similar handling on fault tolerance.  When ram_load_postcopy() fails,
instead of stopping the thread it halts with a semaphore, preparing to be
kicked again when recovery is detected.

A mutex is introduced to make sure there's no concurrent operation upon the
socket.  To make it simple, the fast ram load thread will take the mutex during
its whole procedure, and only release it if it's paused.  The fast-path socket
will be properly released by the main loading thread safely when there's
network failures during postcopy with that mutex held.

c01b16edf6 migration: Postcopy preemption enablement
This patch enables postcopy-preempt feature.

It contains two major changes to the migration logic:

(1) Postcopy requests are now sent via a different socket from precopy
    background migration stream, so as to be isolated from very high page
    request delays.

(2) For huge page enabled hosts: when there's postcopy requests, they can now
    intercept a partial sending of huge host pages on src QEMU.

After this patch, we'll live migrate a VM with two channels for postcopy: (1)
PRECOPY channel, which is the default channel that transfers background pages;
and (2) POSTCOPY channel, which only transfers requested pages.

There's no strict rule of which channel to use, e.g., if a requested page is
already being transferred on precopy channel, then we will keep using the same
precopy channel to transfer the page even if it's explicitly requested.  In 99%
of the cases we'll prioritize the channels so we send requested page via the
postcopy channel as long as possible.

On the source QEMU, when we found a postcopy request, we'll interrupt the
PRECOPY channel sending process and quickly switch to the POSTCOPY channel.
After we serviced all the high priority postcopy pages, we'll switch back to
PRECOPY channel so that we'll continue to send the interrupted huge page again.
There's no new thread introduced on src QEMU.

On the destination QEMU, one new thread is introduced to receive page data from
the postcopy specific socket (done in the preparation patch).

This patch has a side effect: after sending postcopy pages, previously we'll
assume the guest will access follow up pages so we'll keep sending from there.
Now it's changed.  Instead of going on with a postcopy requested page, we'll go
back and continue sending the precopy huge page (which can be intercepted by a
postcopy request so the huge page can be sent partially before).

Whether that's a problem is debatable, because "assuming the guest will
continue to access the next page" may not really suite when huge pages are
used, especially if the huge page is large (e.g. 1GB pages).  So that locality
hint is much meaningless if huge pages are used.

36f62f11e4 migration: Postcopy preemption preparation on channel creation
Create a new socket for postcopy to be prepared to send postcopy requested
pages via this specific channel, so as to not get blocked by precopy pages.

A new thread is also created on dest qemu to receive data from this new channel
based on the ram_load_postcopy() routine.

The ram_load_postcopy(POSTCOPY) branch and the thread has not started to
function, and that'll be done in follow up patches.

Cleanup the new sockets on both src/dst QEMUs, meanwhile look after the new
thread too to make sure it'll be recycled properly.

ce5b0f4afc migration: Add postcopy-preempt capability
Firstly, postcopy already preempts precopy due to the fact that we do
unqueue_page() first before looking into dirty bits.

However that's not enough, e.g., when there're host huge page enabled, when
sending a precopy huge page, a postcopy request needs to wait until the whole
huge page that is sending to finish.  That could introduce quite some delay,
the bigger the huge page is the larger delay it'll bring.

This patch adds a new capability to allow postcopy requests to preempt existing
precopy page during sending a huge page, so that postcopy requests can be
serviced even faster.

Meanwhile to send it even faster, bypass the precopy stream by providing a
standalone postcopy socket for sending requested pages.

Since the new behavior will not be compatible with the old behavior, this will
not be the default, it's enabled only when the new capability is set on both
src/dst QEMUs.

This patch only adds the capability itself, the logic will be added in follow
up patches.

Add a helper to cleanup the transport listener.

When do it, we should also null-ify the cleanup hook and the data, then it's
even safe to call it multiple times.

Move the socket_address_list cleanup altogether, because that's a mirror of the
listener channels and only for the purpose of query-migrate.  Hence when
someone wants to cleanup the listener transport, it should also want to cleanup
the socket list too, always.

No functional change intended.

77dadc3f83 migration: Introduce postcopy channels on dest node
Postcopy handles huge pages in a special way that currently we can only have
one "channel" to transfer the page.

It's because when we install pages using UFFDIO_COPY, we need to have the whole
huge page ready, it also means we need to have a temp huge page when trying to
receive the whole content of the page.

Currently all maintainance around this tmp page is global: firstly we'll
allocate a temp huge page, then we maintain its status mostly within
ram_load_postcopy().

To enable multiple channels for postcopy, the first thing we need to do is to
prepare N temp huge pages as caching, one for each channel.

Meanwhile we need to maintain the tmp huge page status per-channel too.

To give some example, some local variables maintained in ram_load_postcopy()
are listed; they are responsible for maintaining temp huge page status:

  - all_zero:     this keeps whether this huge page contains all zeros
  - target_pages: this counts how many target pages have been copied
  - host_page:    this keeps the host ptr for the page to install

Move all these fields to be together with the temp huge pages to form a new
structure called PostcopyTmpPage.  Then for each (future) postcopy channel, we
need one structure to keep the state around.

For vanilla postcopy, obviously there's only one channel.  It contains both
precopy and postcopy pages.

This patch teaches the dest migration node to start realize the possible number
of postcopy channels by introducing the "postcopy_channels" variable.  Its
value is calculated when setup postcopy on dest node (during POSTCOPY_LISTEN
phase).

Vanilla postcopy will have channels=1, but when postcopy-preempt capability is
enabled (in the future), we will boost it to 2 because even during partial
sending of a precopy huge page we still want to preempt it and start sending
the postcopy requested page right away (so we start to keep two temp huge
pages; more if we want to enable multifd).  In this patch there's a TODO marked
for that; so far the channels is always set to 1.

We need to send one "host huge page" on one channel only and we cannot split
them, because otherwise the data upon the same huge page can locate on more
than one channel so we need more complicated logic to manage.  One temp host
huge page for each channel will be enough for us for now.

Postcopy will still always use the index=0 huge page even after this patch.
However it prepares for the latter patches where it can start to use multiple
channels (which needs src intervention, because only src knows which channel we
should use).

53021ea165 migration: Fix missing join() of rp_thread
It's possible that the migration thread skip the join() of the rp_thread in
below race and crash on src right at finishing migration:

       migration_thread                     rp_thread
       ----------------                     ---------
    migration_completion()
                                        (before rp_thread quits)
                                        from_dst_file=NULL
                                        [thread got scheduled out]
      s->rp_state.from_dst_file==NULL
        (skip join() of rp_thread)
    migrate_fd_cleanup()
      qemu_fclose(s->to_dst_file)
      yank_unregister_instance()
        assert(yank_find_entry())  <------- crash

It could mostly happen with postcopy, but that shouldn't be required, e.g., I
think it could also trigger with MIGRATION_CAPABILITY_RETURN_PATH set.

It's suspected that above race could be the root cause of a recent (but rare)
migration-test break reported by either Dave or PMM:

https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/YPamXAHwan%2FPPXLf@work-vm/

The issue is: from_dst_file is reset in the rp_thread, so if the thread reset
it to NULL fast enough then the migration thread will assume there's no
rp_thread at all.

This could potentially cause more severe issue (e.g. crash) after the yank code.

Fix it by using a boolean to keep "whether we've created rp_thread".

c7c0e72408 migration/ram: Handle RAM block resizes during precopy
Resizing while migrating is dangerous and does not work as expected.
The whole migration code works on the usable_length of ram blocks and does
not expect this to change at random points in time.

In the case of precopy, the ram block size must not change on the source,
after syncing the RAM block list in ram_save_setup(), so as long as the
guest is still running on the source.

Resizing can be trigger *after* (but not during) a reset in
ACPI code by the guest
- hw/arm/virt-acpi-build.c:acpi_ram_update()
- hw/i386/acpi-build.c:acpi_ram_update()

Use the ram block notifier to get notified about resizes. Let's simply
cancel migration and indicate the reason. We'll continue running on the
source. No harm done.

Update the documentation. Postcopy will be handled separately.

'size', uint64_t in C).  It neglected to update existing code, which
continues to use int64_t.

migrate_xbzrle_cache_size() returns the new parameter.  Adjust its
return type.

QMP query-migrate-cache-size returns migrate_xbzrle_cache_size().

8f8bfffcf1 migration: Maintain postcopy faulted addresses
Maintain a list of faulted addresses on the destination host for which we're
waiting on.  This is implemented using a GTree rather than a real list to make
sure even there're plenty of vCPUs/threads that are faulting, the lookup will
still be fast with O(log(N)) (because we'll do that after placing each page).
It should bring a slight overhead, but ideally that shouldn't be a big problem
simply because in most cases the requested page list will be short.

Actually we did similar things for postcopy blocktime measurements.  This patch
didn't use that simply because:

  (1) blocktime measurement is towards vcpu threads only, but here we need to
      record all faulted addresses, including main thread and external
      thread (like, DPDK via vhost-user).

  (2) blocktime measurement will require UFFD_FEATURE_THREAD_ID, but here we
      don't want to add that extra dependency on the kernel version since not
      necessary.  E.g., we don't need to know which thread faulted on which
      page, we also don't care about multiple threads faulting on the same
      page.  But we only care about what addresses are faulted so waiting for a
      page copying from src.

  (3) blocktime measurement is not enabled by default.  However we need this by
      default especially for postcopy recover.

Another thing to mention is that this patch introduced a new mutex to serialize
the receivedmap and the page_requested tree, however that serialization does
not cover other procedures like UFFDIO_COPY.

This way, management tools can use different node and bitmap names on
the source and destination and pass the mapping of how bitmaps are to be
transferred to qemu (on the source, the destination, or even both with
arbitrary aliases in the migration stream).

While touching this code, fix a bug where bitmap names longer than 255
bytes would fail an assertion in qemu_put_counted_string().

1499ab0969 migration/block-dirty-bitmap: cancel migration on shutdown
If target is turned off prior to postcopy finished, target crashes
because busy bitmaps are found at shutdown.
Canceling incoming migration helps, as it removes all unfinished (and
therefore busy) bitmaps.

Similarly on source we crash in bdrv_close_all which asserts that all
bdrv states are removed, because bdrv states involved into dirty bitmap
migration are referenced by it. So, we need to cancel outgoing
migration as well.

c7e0acd5a3 migration: add new migration state wait-unplug
This patch adds a new migration state called wait-unplug.  It is entered
after the SETUP state if failover devices are present. It will transition
into ACTIVE once all devices were succesfully unplugged from the guest.

So if a guest doesn't respond or takes long to honor the unplug request
the user will see the migration state 'wait-unplug'.

In the migration thread we query failover devices if they're are still
pending the guest unplug. When all are unplugged the migration
continues. If one device won't unplug migration will stay in wait_unplug
state.

a27bd6c779 Include hw/qdev-properties.h less
In my "build everything" tree, changing hw/qdev-properties.h triggers
a recompile of some 2700 out of 6600 objects (not counting tests and
objects that don't depend on qemu/osdep.h).

Many places including hw/qdev-properties.h (directly or via hw/qdev.h)
actually need only hw/qdev-core.h.  Include hw/qdev-core.h there
instead.

hw/qdev.h is actually pointless: all it does is include hw/qdev-core.h
and hw/qdev-properties.h, which in turn includes hw/qdev-core.h.
Replace the remaining uses of hw/qdev.h by hw/qdev-properties.h.

While there, delete a few superfluous inclusions of hw/qdev-core.h.

Touching hw/qdev-properties.h now recompiles some 1200 objects.

002cad6b16 migration: Split log_clear() into smaller chunks
Currently we are doing log_clear() right after log_sync() which mostly
keeps the old behavior when log_clear() was still part of log_sync().

This patch tries to further optimize the migration log_clear() code
path to split huge log_clear()s into smaller chunks.

We do this by spliting the whole guest memory region into memory
chunks, whose size is decided by MigrationState.clear_bitmap_shift (an
example will be given below).  With that, we don't do the dirty bitmap
clear operation on the remote node (e.g., KVM) when we fetch the dirty
bitmap, instead we explicitly clear the dirty bitmap for the memory
chunk for each of the first time we send a page in that chunk.

Here comes an example.

Assuming the guest has 64G memory, then before this patch the KVM
ioctl KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG will be a single one covering 64G memory.
If after the patch, let's assume when the clear bitmap shift is 18,
then the memory chunk size on x86_64 will be 1UL<<18 * 4K = 1GB.  Then
instead of sending a big 64G ioctl, we'll send 64 small ioctls, each
of the ioctl will cover 1G of the guest memory.  For each of the 64
small ioctls, we'll only send if any of the page in that small chunk
was going to be sent right away.
