This patch adds a migration state on src called "postcopy-recover-setup".
The new state will describe the intermediate step starting from when the
src QEMU received a postcopy recovery request, until the migration channels
are properly established, but before the recovery process take place.
The request came from Libvirt where Libvirt currently rely on the migration
state events to detect migration state changes. That works for most of the
migration process but except postcopy recovery failures at the beginning.
Currently postcopy recovery only has two major states:
- postcopy-paused: this is the state that both sides of QEMU will be in
for a long time as long as the migration channel was interrupted.
- postcopy-recover: this is the state where both sides of QEMU handshake
with each other, preparing for a continuation of postcopy which used to
be interrupted.
The issue here is when the recovery port is invalid, the src QEMU will take
the URI/channels, noticing the ports are not valid, and it'll silently keep
in the postcopy-paused state, with no event sent to Libvirt. In this case,
the only thing Libvirt can do is to poll the migration status with a proper
interval, however that's less optimal.
Considering that this is the only case where Libvirt won't get a
notification from QEMU on such events, let's add postcopy-recover-setup
state to mimic what we have with the "setup" state of a newly initialized
migration, describing the phase of connection establishment.
With that, postcopy recovery will have two paths to go now, and either path
will guarantee an event generated. Now the events will look like this
during a recovery process on src QEMU:
- Initially when the recovery is initiated on src, QEMU will go from
"postcopy-paused" -> "postcopy-recover-setup". Old QEMUs don't have
this event.
- Depending on whether the channel re-establishment is succeeded:
- In succeeded case, src QEMU will move from "postcopy-recover-setup"
to "postcopy-recover". Old QEMUs also have this event.
- In failure case, src QEMU will move from "postcopy-recover-setup" to
"postcopy-paused" again. Old QEMUs don't have this event.
This guarantees that Libvirt will always receive a notification for
recovery process properly.
One thing to mention is, such new status is only needed on src QEMU not
both. On dest QEMU, the state machine doesn't change. Hence the events
don't change either. It's done like so because dest QEMU may not have an
explicit point of setup start. E.g., it can happen that when dest QEMUs
doesn't use migrate-recover command to use a new URI/channel, but the old
URI/channels can be reused in recovery, in which case the old ports simply
can work again after the network routes are fixed up.
Add a new helper postcopy_is_paused() detecting whether postcopy is still
paused, taking RECOVER_SETUP into account too. When using it on both
src/dst, a slight change is done altogether to always wait for the
semaphore before checking the status, because for both sides a sem_post()
will be required for a recovery.

Add a new migration capability 'mapped-ram'.
The core of the feature is to ensure that RAM pages are mapped
directly to offsets in the resulting migration file instead of being
streamed at arbitrary points.
The reasons why we'd want such behavior are:
- The resulting file will have a bounded size, since pages which are
dirtied multiple times will always go to a fixed location in the
file, rather than constantly being added to a sequential
stream. This eliminates cases where a VM with, say, 1G of RAM can
result in a migration file that's 10s of GBs, provided that the
workload constantly redirties memory.
- It paves the way to implement O_DIRECT-enabled save/restore of the
migration stream as the pages are ensured to be written at aligned
offsets.
- It allows the usage of multifd so we can write RAM pages to the
migration file in parallel.
For now, enabling the capability has no effect. The next couple of
patches implement the core functionality.

The existing argument of 'migrate' and 'migrate-incoming' QAPI
- 'uri' is of type string. The current implementation follows
double encoding scheme for fetching migration parameters like
'uri' and this is not an ideal design.
Motive for intoducing struct level design is to prevent double
encoding of QAPI arguments, as Qemu should be able to directly
use the QAPI arguments without any level of encoding.
Note: this commit only adds the type, and actual uses comes

Migration bandwidth is a very important value to live migration. It's
because it's one of the major factors that we'll make decision on when to
switchover to destination in a precopy process.
This value is currently estimated by QEMU during the whole live migration
process by monitoring how fast we were sending the data. This can be the
most accurate bandwidth if in the ideal world, where we're always feeding
unlimited data to the migration channel, and then it'll be limited to the
bandwidth that is available.
However in reality it may be very different, e.g., over a 10Gbps network we
can see query-migrate showing migration bandwidth of only a few tens of
MB/s just because there are plenty of other things the migration thread
might be doing. For example, the migration thread can be busy scanning
zero pages, or it can be fetching dirty bitmap from other external dirty
sources (like vhost or KVM). It means we may not be pushing data as much
as possible to migration channel, so the bandwidth estimated from "how many
data we sent in the channel" can be dramatically inaccurate sometimes.
With that, the decision to switchover will be affected, by assuming that we
may not be able to switchover at all with such a low bandwidth, but in
reality we can.
The migration may not even converge at all with the downtime specified,
with that wrong estimation of bandwidth, keeping iterations forever with a
low estimation of bandwidth.
The issue is QEMU itself may not be able to avoid those uncertainties on
measuing the real "available migration bandwidth". At least not something
I can think of so far.
One way to fix this is when the user is fully aware of the available
bandwidth, then we can allow the user to help providing an accurate value.
For example, if the user has a dedicated channel of 10Gbps for migration
for this specific VM, the user can specify this bandwidth so QEMU can
always do the calculation based on this fact, trusting the user as long as
specified. It may not be the exact bandwidth when switching over (in which
case qemu will push migration data as fast as possible), but much better
than QEMU trying to wildly guess, especially when very wrong.
A new parameter "avail-switchover-bandwidth" is introduced just for this.
So when the user specified this parameter, instead of trusting the
estimated value from QEMU itself (based on the QEMUFile send speed), it
trusts the user more by using this value to decide when to switchover,
assuming that we'll have such bandwidth available then.
Note that specifying this value will not throttle the bandwidth for
switchover yet, so QEMU will always use the full bandwidth possible for
sending switchover data, assuming that should always be the most important
way to use the network at that time.
This can resolve issues like "unconvergence migration" which is caused by
hilarious low "migration bandwidth" detected for whatever reason.

Display it as long as being set, irrelevant of FAILED status. E.g., it may
also be applicable to PAUSED stage of postcopy, to provide hint on what has
gone wrong.
The error_mutex seems to be overlooked when referencing the error, add it
to be very safe.
This will change QAPI behavior by showing up error message outside !FAILED
status, but it's intended and doesn't expect to break anyone.

Currently query-dirty-rate uses QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME as
the source for start-time field. This translates to
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC), i.e. number of seconds
since host boot. This is not very useful. The only
reasonable use case of start-time I can imagine is to
check whether previously completed measurements are
too old or not. But this makes sense only if start-time
is reported as host wall-clock time.
This patch replaces source of start-time from
QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME to QEMU_CLOCK_HOST.
