Alexey Perevalov ca6011c232 migration: add postcopy total blocktime into query-migrate
Postcopy total blocktime is available on destination side only.
But query-migrate was possible only for source. This patch
adds ability to call query-migrate on destination.
To be able to see postcopy blocktime, need to request postcopy-blocktime
capability.

The query-migrate command will show following sample result:
{"return":
    "postcopy-vcpu-blocktime": [115, 100],
    "status": "completed",
    "postcopy-blocktime": 100
}}

postcopy_vcpu_blocktime contains list, where the first item is the first
vCPU in QEMU.

This patch has a drawback, it combines states of incoming and
outgoing migration. Ongoing migration state will overwrite incoming
state. Looks like better to separate query-migrate for incoming and
outgoing migration or add parameter to indicate type of migration.

Alexey Perevalov 3be98be4e9 migration: calculate vCPU blocktime on dst side
This patch provides blocktime calculation per vCPU,
as a summary and as a overlapped value for all vCPUs.

This approach was suggested by Peter Xu, as an improvements of
previous approch where QEMU kept tree with faulted page address and cpus bitmask
in it. Now QEMU is keeping array with faulted page address as value and vCPU
as index. It helps to find proper vCPU at UFFD_COPY time. Also it keeps
list for blocktime per vCPU (could be traced with page_fault_addr)

Blocktime will not calculated if postcopy_blocktime field of
MigrationIncomingState wasn't initialized.

Alexey Perevalov 01a87f0bd3 migration: add postcopy blocktime ctx into MigrationIncomingState
This patch adds request to kernel space for UFFD_FEATURE_THREAD_ID, in
case this feature is provided by kernel.

PostcopyBlocktimeContext is encapsulated inside postcopy-ram.c,
due to it being a postcopy-only feature.
Also it defines PostcopyBlocktimeContext's instance live time.
Information from PostcopyBlocktimeContext instance will be provided
much after postcopy migration end, instance of PostcopyBlocktimeContext
will live till QEMU exit, but part of it (vcpu_addr,
page_fault_vcpu_time) used only during calculation, will be released
when postcopy ended or failed.

To enable postcopy blocktime calculation on destination, need to
request proper compatibility (Patch for documentation will be at the
tail of the patch set).

As an example following command enable that capability, assume QEMU was
started with
-chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/migrate-vm-monitor.sock
option to control it

[root@host]#printf "{\"execute\" : \"qmp_capabilities\"}\r\n \
{\"execute\": \"migrate-set-capabilities\" , \"arguments\":   {
\"capabilities\": [ { \"capability\": \"postcopy-blocktime\", \"state\":
true } ] } }" | nc -U /var/lib/migrate-vm-monitor.sock

Or just with HMP
(qemu) migrate_set_capability postcopy-blocktime on

Alexey Perevalov f949461489 migration: add bitmap for received page
This patch adds ability to track down already received
pages, it's necessary for calculation vCPU block time in
postcopy migration feature, and for recovery after
postcopy migration failure.

Also it's necessary to solve shared memory issue in
postcopy livemigration. Information about received pages
will be transferred to the software virtual bridge
(e.g. OVS-VSWITCHD), to avoid fallocate (unmap) for
already received pages. fallocate syscall is required for
remmaped shared memory, due to remmaping itself blocks
ioctl(UFFDIO_COPY, ioctl in this case will end with EEXIT
error (struct page is exists after remmap).

Bitmap is placed into RAMBlock as another postcopy/precopy
related bitmaps.

Alexey Perevalov 54ae0886b1 migration: split ufd_version_check onto receive/request features part
This modification is necessary for userfault fd features which are
required to be requested from userspace.
UFFD_FEATURE_THREAD_ID is a one of such "on demand" feature, which will
be introduced in the next patch.

QEMU have to use separate userfault file descriptor, due to
userfault context has internal state, and after first call of
ioctl UFFD_API it changes its state to UFFD_STATE_RUNNING (in case of
success), but kernel while handling ioctl UFFD_API expects UFFD_STATE_WAIT_API.
So only one ioctl with UFFD_API is possible per ufd.

madvise() returns EINVAL in the case of many failures, but also

Postcopy only really cares that THP is off before it detects faults,
and turns it back on afterwards; so we're going to have
to assume that if the madvise fails then the host just doesn't do
THP and we can carry on with the postcopy.

Dr. David Alan Gilbert 371ff5a3f0 Inhibit ballooning during postcopy
Postcopy detects accesses to pages that haven't been transferred yet
using userfaultfd, and it causes exceptions on pages that are 'not
present'.
Ballooning also causes pages to be marked as 'not present' when the
guest inflates the balloon.
Potentially a balloon could be inflated to discard pages that are
currently inflight during postcopy and that may be arriving at about
the same time.

To avoid this confusion, disable ballooning during postcopy.

When disabled we drop balloon requests from the guest.  Since ballooning
is generally initiated by the host, the management system should avoid
initiating any balloon instructions to the guest during migration,
although it's not possible to know how long it would take a guest to
process a request made prior to the start of migration.
Guest initiated ballooning will not know if it's really freed a page
of host memory or not.

Queueing the requests until after migration would be nice, but is
non-trivial, since the set of inflate/deflate requests have to
be compared with the state of the page to know what the final
outcome is allowed to be.

Dr. David Alan Gilbert 58b7c17e22 Disable mlock around incoming postcopy
Userfault doesn't work with mlock; mlock is designed to nail down pages
so they don't move, userfault is designed to tell you when they're not
there.

munlock the pages we userfault protect before postcopy.
mlock everything again at the end if mlock is enabled.

Dr. David Alan Gilbert f952710757 Postcopy: Mark nohugepage before discard
Prior to servicing userfault requests we must ensure we've not got
huge pages in the area that might include non-transferred memory,
since a hugepage could incorrectly mark the whole huge page as present.

We mark the area as non-huge page (nhp) just before we perform
discards; the discard code now tells us to discard any areas
that haven't been sent (as well as any that are redirtied);
any already formed transparent-huge-pages get fragmented
by this discard process if they cotnain any discards.

Transparent huge pages that have been entirely transferred
and don't contain any discards are not broken by this mechanism;
they stay as huge pages.

By starting postcopy after a full precopy pass, many of the pages
then stay as huge pages; this is important for maintaining performance
after the end of the migration.

Dr. David Alan Gilbert c4faeed231 Postcopy; Handle userfault requests
userfaultfd is a Linux syscall that gives an fd that receives a stream
of notifications of accesses to pages registered with it and allows
the program to acknowledge those stalls and tell the accessing
thread to carry on.

We convert the requests from the kernel into messages back to the
source asking for the pages.
