When running with "dynamic-memslots=off", we enter
virtio_mem_activate_memslots_to_plug() to return immediately again
because "vmem->dynamic_memslots == false". However, the compiler might
not optimize out calculating start_idx+end_idx, where we divide by
vmem->memslot_size. In such a configuration, the memslot size is 0 and
we'll get a division by zero:
(qemu) qom-set vmem0 requested-size 3G
(qemu) q35.sh: line 38: 622940 Floating point exception(core dumped)
The same is true for virtio_mem_deactivate_unplugged_memslots(), however
we never really reach that code without a prior
virtio_mem_activate_memslots_to_plug() call.
Let's fix it by simply calling these functions only with
"dynamic-memslots=on".
This was found when using a debug build of QEMU.

Let's mark the memslot alias memory regions as unmergable, such that
flatview and vhost won't merge adjacent memory region aliases and we can
atomically map/unmap individual aliases without affecting adjacent
alias memory regions.
This handles vhost and vfio in multiple-memslot mode correctly (which do
not support atomic memslot updates) and avoids the temporary removal of
large memslots, which can be an expensive operation. For example, vfio
might have to unpin + repin a lot of memory, which is undesired.

Having large virtio-mem devices that only expose little memory to a VM
is currently a problem: we map the whole sparse memory region into the
guest using a single memslot, resulting in one gigantic memslot in KVM.
KVM allocates metadata for the whole memslot, which can result in quite
some memory waste.
Assuming we have a 1 TiB virtio-mem device and only expose little (e.g.,
1 GiB) memory, we would create a single 1 TiB memslot and KVM has to
allocate metadata for that 1 TiB memslot: on x86, this implies allocating
a significant amount of memory for metadata:
(1) RMAP: 8 bytes per 4 KiB, 8 bytes per 2 MiB, 8 bytes per 1 GiB
-> For 1 TiB: 2147483648 + 4194304 + 8192 = ~ 2 GiB (0.2 %)
With the TDP MMU (cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) this gets
allocated lazily when required for nested VMs
(2) gfn_track: 2 bytes per 4 KiB
-> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = ~512 MiB (0.05 %)
(3) lpage_info: 4 bytes per 2 MiB, 4 bytes per 1 GiB
-> For 1 TiB: 2097152 + 4096 = ~2 MiB (0.0002 %)
(4) 2x dirty bitmaps for tracking: 2x 1 bit per 4 KiB page
-> For 1 TiB: 536870912 = 64 MiB (0.006 %)
So we primarily care about (1) and (2). The bad thing is, that the
memory consumption *doubles* once SMM is enabled, because we create the
memslot once for !SMM and once for SMM.
Having a 1 TiB memslot without the TDP MMU consumes around:
* With SMM: 5 GiB
* Without SMM: 2.5 GiB
Having a 1 TiB memslot with the TDP MMU consumes around:
* With SMM: 1 GiB
* Without SMM: 512 MiB
... and that's really something we want to optimize, to be able to just
start a VM with small boot memory (e.g., 4 GiB) and a virtio-mem device
that can grow very large (e.g., 1 TiB).
Consequently, using multiple memslots and only mapping the memslots we
really need can significantly reduce memory waste and speed up
memslot-related operations. Let's expose the sparse RAM memory region using
multiple memslots, mapping only the memslots we currently need into our
device memory region container.
The feature can be enabled using "dynamic-memslots=on" and requires
"unplugged-inaccessible=on", which is nowadays the default.
Once enabled, we'll auto-detect the number of memslots to use based on the
memslot limit provided by the core. We'll use at most 1 memslot per
gigabyte. Note that our global limit of memslots accross all memory devices
is currently set to 256: even with multiple large virtio-mem devices,
we'd still have a sane limit on the number of memslots used.
The default is to not dynamically map memslot for now
("dynamic-memslots=off"). The optimization must be enabled manually,
because some vhost setups (e.g., hotplug of vhost-user devices) might be
problematic until we support more memslots especially in vhost-user backends.
Note that "dynamic-memslots=on" is just a hint that multiple memslots
*may* be used for internal optimizations, not that multiple memslots
*must* be used. The actual number of memslots that are used is an
internal detail: for example, once memslot metadata is no longer an
issue, we could simply stop optimizing for that. Migration source and
destination can differ on the setting of "dynamic-memslots".

In many cases, blindly unplugging a virtio-mem device is problematic. We
can only safely remove a device once:
* The guest is not expecting to be able to read unplugged memory
(unplugged-inaccessible == on)
* The virtio-mem device does not have memory plugged (size == 0)
* The virtio-mem device does not have outstanding requests to the VM to
plug memory (requested-size == 0)
So let's add a callback to the virtio-mem device class to check for that.
We'll wire-up virtio-mem-pci next.

To achieve desired "x-ignore-shared" functionality, we should not
discard all RAM when realizing the device and not mess with
preallocation/postcopy when loading device state. In essence, we should
not touch RAM content.
As "x-ignore-shared" gets set after realizing the device, we cannot
rely on that. Let's simply skip discarding of RAM on incoming migration.
Note that virtio_mem_post_load() will call
virtio_mem_restore_unplugged() -- unless "x-ignore-shared" is set. So
once migration finished we'll have a consistent state.
The initial system reset will also not discard any RAM, because
virtio_mem_unplug_all() will not call virtio_mem_unplug_all() when no
memory is plugged (which is the case before loading the device state).
Note that something like VM templating -- see commit b17fbbe55c
("migration: allow private destination ram with x-ignore-shared") -- is
currently incompatible with virtio-mem and ram_block_discard_range() will
warn in case a private file mapping is supplied by virtio-mem.
For VM templating with virtio-mem, it makes more sense to either
(a) Create the template without the virtio-mem device and hotplug a
virtio-mem device to the new VM instances using proper own memory
backend.
(b) Use a virtio-mem device that doesn't provide any memory in the
template (requested-size=0) and use private anonymous memory.

Allowing guests to read unplugged memory simplified the bring-up of
virtio-mem in Linux guests -- which was limited to x86-64 only. On arm64
(which was added later), we never had legacy guests and don't even allow
to configure it, essentially always having "unplugged-inaccessible=on".
At this point, all guests we care about
should be supporting VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE, so let's
change the default for the 8.1 machine.
This change implies that also memory that supports the shared zeropage
(private anonymous memory) will now require
VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE in the driver in order to be usable by
the guest -- as default, one can still manually set the
unplugged-inaccessible property.
Disallowing the guest to read unplugged memory will be important for
some future features, such as memslot optimizations or protection of
unplugged memory, whereby we'll actually no longer allow the guest to
even read from unplugged memory.
At some point, we might want to deprecate and remove that property.

Ordinary memory preallocation runs when QEMU starts up and creates the
memory backends, before processing the incoming migration stream. With
virtio-mem, we don't know which memory blocks to preallocate before
migration started. Now that we migrate the virtio-mem bitmap early, before
migrating any RAM content, we can safely preallocate memory for all plugged
memory blocks before migrating any RAM content.
This is especially relevant for the following cases:
(1) User errors
With hugetlb/files, if we don't have sufficient backend memory available on
the migration destination, we'll crash QEMU (SIGBUS) during RAM migration
when running out of backend memory. Preallocating memory before actual
RAM migration allows for failing gracefully and informing the user about
the setup problem.
(2) Excluded memory ranges during migration
For example, virtio-balloon free page hinting will exclude some pages
from getting migrated. In that case, we won't crash during RAM
migration, but later, when running the VM on the destination, which is
bad.
To fix this for new QEMU machines that migrate the bitmap early,
preallocate the memory early, before any RAM migration. Warn with old
QEMU machines.
Getting postcopy right is a bit tricky, but we essentially now implement
the same (problematic) preallocation logic as ordinary preallocation:
preallocate memory early and discard it again before precopy starts. During
ordinary preallocation, discarding of RAM happens when postcopy is advised.
As the state (bitmap) is loaded after postcopy was advised but before
postcopy starts listening, we have to discard memory we preallocated
immediately again ourselves.
Note that nothing (not even hugetlb reservations) guarantees for postcopy
that backend memory (especially, hugetlb pages) are still free after they
were freed ones while discarding RAM. Still, allocating that memory at
least once helps catching some basic setup problems.
Before this change, trying to restore a VM when insufficient hugetlb
pages are around results in the process crashing to to a "Bus error"
(SIGBUS). With this change, QEMU fails gracefully:
qemu-system-x86_64: qemu_prealloc_mem: preallocating memory failed: Bad address
qemu-system-x86_64: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device '0000:00:03.0/virtio-mem-device-early'
qemu-system-x86_64: load of migration failed: Cannot allocate memory
And we can even introspect the early migration data, including the
bitmap:

The bitmap and the size are immutable while migration is active: see
virtio_mem_is_busy(). We can migrate this information early, before
migrating any actual RAM content. Further, all information we need for
sanity checks is immutable as well.
Having this information in place early will, for example, allow for
properly preallocating memory before touching these memory locations
during RAM migration: this way, we can make sure that all memory was
actually preallocated and that any user errors (e.g., insufficient
hugetlb pages) can be handled gracefully.
In contrast, usable_region_size and requested_size can theoretically
still be modified on the source while the VM is running. Keep migrating
these properties the usual, late, way.
Use a new device property to keep behavior of compat machines
unmodified.

With VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE, we signal the VM that reading
unplugged memory is not supported. We have to fail feature negotiation
in case the guest does not support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE.
First, VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE is required to properly handle
memory backends (or architectures) without support for the shared zeropage
in the hypervisor cleanly. Without the shared zeropage, even reading an
unpopulated virtual memory location can populate real memory and
consequently consume memory in the hypervisor. We have a guaranteed shared
zeropage only on MAP_PRIVATE anonymous memory.
Second, we want VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE to be the default
long-term as even populating the shared zeropage can be problematic: for
example, without THP support (possible) or without support for the shared
huge zeropage with THP (unlikely), the PTE page tables to hold the shared
zeropage entries can consume quite some memory that cannot be reclaimed
easily.
Third, there are other optimizations+features (e.g., protection of
unplugged memory, reducing the total memory slot size and bitmap sizes)
that will require VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE.
We really only support x86 targets with virtio-mem for now (and
Linux similarly only support x86), but that might change soon, so prepare
for different targets already.
Add a new "unplugged-inaccessible" tristate property for x86 targets:
- "off" will keep VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE unset and legacy
guests working.
- "on" will set VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE and stop legacy guests
from using the device.
- "auto" selects the default based on support for the shared zeropage.
Warn in case the property is set to "off" and we don't have support for the
shared zeropage.
For existing compat machines, the property will default to "off", to
not change the behavior but eventually warn about a problematic setup.
Short-term, we'll set the property default to "auto" for new QEMU machines.
Mid-term, we'll set the property default to "on" for new QEMU machines.
Long-term, we'll deprecate the parameter and disallow legacy
guests completely.
The property has to match on the migration source and destination. "auto"
will result in the same VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE setting as long
as the qemu command line (esp. memdev) match -- so "auto" is good enough
for migration purposes and the parameter doesn't have to be migrated
explicitly.

For scarce memory resources, such as hugetlb, we want to be able to
prealloc such memory resources in order to not crash later on access. On
simple user errors we could otherwise easily run out of memory resources
an crash the VM -- pretty much undesired.
For ordinary memory devices, such as DIMMs, we preallocate memory via the
memory backend for such use cases; however, with virtio-mem we're dealing
with sparse memory backends; preallocating the whole memory backend
destroys the whole purpose of virtio-mem.
Instead, we want to preallocate memory when actually exposing memory to the
VM dynamically, and fail plugging memory gracefully + warn the user in case
preallocation fails.
A common use case for hugetlb will be using "reserve=off,prealloc=off" for
the memory backend and "prealloc=on" for the virtio-mem device. This
way, no huge pages will be reserved for the process, but we can recover
if there are no actual huge pages when plugging memory. Libvirt is
already prepared for this.
Note that preallocation cannot protect from the OOM killer -- which
holds true for any kind of preallocation in QEMU. It's primarily useful
only for scarce memory resources such as hugetlb, or shared file-backed
memory. It's of little use for ordinary anonymous memory that can be
swapped, KSM merged, ... but we won't forbid it.

vIOMMU support works already with RamDiscardManager as long as guests only
map populated memory. Both, populated and discarded memory is mapped
into &address_space_memory, where vfio_get_xlat_addr() will find that
memory, to create the vfio mapping.
Sane guests will never map discarded memory (e.g., unplugged memory
blocks in virtio-mem) into an IOMMU - or keep it mapped into an IOMMU while
memory is getting discarded. However, there are two cases where a malicious
guests could trigger pinning of more memory than intended.
One case is easy to handle: the guest trying to map discarded memory
into an IOMMU.
The other case is harder to handle: the guest keeping memory mapped in
the IOMMU while it is getting discarded. We would have to walk over all
mappings when discarding memory and identify if any mapping would be a
violation. Let's keep it simple for now and print a warning, indicating
that setting RLIMIT_MEMLOCK can mitigate such attacks.
We have to take care of incoming migration: at the point the
IOMMUs get restored and start creating mappings in vfio, RamDiscardManager
implementations might not be back up and running yet: let's add runstate
priorities to enforce the order when restoring.

Let's properly notify when (un)plugging blocks, after discarding memory
and before allowing the guest to consume memory. Handle errors from
notifiers gracefully (e.g., no remaining VFIO mappings) when plugging,
rolling back the change and telling the guest that the VM is busy.
One special case to take care of is replaying all notifications after
restoring the vmstate. The device starts out with all memory discarded,
so after loading the vmstate, we have to notify about all plugged
blocks.

The bulk stage is kind of weird: migration_bitmap_find_dirty() will
indicate a dirty page, however, ram_save_host_page() will never save it, as
migration_bitmap_clear_dirty() detects that it is not dirty.
We already fill the bitmap in ram_list_init_bitmaps() with ones, marking
everything dirty - it didn't used to be that way, which is why we needed
an explicit first bulk stage.
Let's simplify: make the bitmap the single source of thuth. Explicitly
handle the "xbzrle_enabled after first round" case.
Regarding XBZRLE (implicitly handled via "ram_bulk_stage = false" right
now), there is now a slight change in behavior:
- Colo: When starting, it will be disabled (was implicitly enabled)
until the first round actually finishes.
- Free page hinting: When starting, XBZRLE will be disabled (was implicitly
enabled) until the first round actually finished.
- Snapshots: When starting, XBZRLE will be disabled. We essentially only
do a single run, so I guess it will never actually get disabled.
Postcopy seems to indirectly disable it in ram_save_page(), so there
shouldn't be really any change.

Let's allow a minimum block size of 1 MiB in all configurations. Select
the default block size based on
- The page size of the memory backend.
- The THP size if the memory backend size corresponds to the real host
page size.
- The global minimum of 1 MiB.
and warn if something smaller is configured by the user.
VIRTIO_MEM only supports Linux (depends on LINUX), so we can probe the
THP size unconditionally.
For now we only support virtio-mem on x86-64 - there isn't a user-visible
change (x86-64 only supports 2 MiB THP on the PMD level) - the default
was, and will be 2 MiB.
If we ever have THP on the PUD level (e.g., 1 GiB THP on x86-64), we
expect it to be more transparent - e.g., to only optimize fully populated
ranges unless explicitly told /configured otherwise (in contrast to PMD
THP).

In some cases, we currently don't guarantee that for "addr": For example,
when starting a VM with 4 GiB boot memory and a virtio-mem device with a
block size of 2 GiB, "memaddr"/"addr" will be auto-assigned to
0x140000000 (5 GiB).
We'll try to improve auto-assignment for memory devices next, to avoid
bailing out in case memory device code selects a bad address.
Note: The Linux driver doesn't support such big block sizes yet.
