We have a bunch of savevm_section* tracepoints, they're good to analyze
migration stream, but not always suitable if someone would like to analyze
the migration downtime. Two major problems:
- savevm_section* tracepoints are dumping all sections, we only care
about the sections that contribute to the downtime
- They don't have an identifier to show the type of sections, so no way
to filter downtime information either easily.
We can add type into the tracepoints, but instead of doing so, this patch
kept them untouched, instead of adding a bunch of downtime specific
tracepoints, so one can enable "vmstate_downtime*" tracepoints and get a
full picture of how the downtime is distributed across iterative and
non-iterative vmstate save/load.
Note that here both save() and load() need to be traced, because both of
them may contribute to the downtime. The contribution is not a simple "add
them together", though: consider when the src is doing a save() of device1
while the dest can be load()ing for device2, so they can happen
concurrently.
Tracking both sides make sense because device load() and save() can be
imbalanced, one device can save() super fast, but load() super slow, vice
versa. We can't figure that out without tracing both.

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.

qemu_rdma_dump_id() dumps RDMA device details to stdout.
rdma_start_outgoing_migration() calls it via qemu_rdma_source_init()

rdma_start_incoming_migration() arranges its call via
rdma_accept_incoming_migration() and qemu_rdma_accept() to show

Two issues:
1. rdma_start_outgoing_migration() can run in HMP context. The

2. ibv_query_port() failure is reported as error. Its callers remain
unaware of this failure (qemu_rdma_dump_id() can't fail), so
reporting this to the user as an error is problematic.

It can be used in HMP commands, and as a qemu command-line parameter.
For best performance, guest ram should be shared and x-ignore-shared
should be true, so guest pages are not written to the file, in which case
the guest may remain running. If ram is not so configured, then the user
is advised to stop the guest first. Otherwise, a busy guest may re-dirty
the same page, causing it to be appended to the file multiple times,
and the file may grow unboundedly. That issue is being addressed in the

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.

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.

This patch simplifies unqueue_page() on both sides of it (itself, and caller).
Firstly, due to the fact that right after unqueue_page() returned true, we'll
definitely send a huge page (see ram_save_huge_page() call - it will _never_
exit before finish sending that huge page), so unqueue_page() does not need to
jump in small page size if huge page is enabled on the ramblock. IOW, it's
destined that only the 1st 4K page will be valid, when unqueue the 2nd+ time
we'll notice the whole huge page has already been sent anyway. Switching to
operating on huge page reduces a lot of the loops of redundant unqueue_page().
Meanwhile, drop the dirty check. It's not helpful to call test_bit() every
time to jump over clean pages, as ram_save_host_page() has already done so,
while in a faster way (see commit ba1b7c812c ("migration/ram: Optimize
ram_save_host_page()", 2021-05-13)). So that's not necessary too.
Drop the two tracepoints along the way - based on above analysis it's very
possible that no one is really using it..

migration and procesing UFFD page fault events.
Processing write faults includes reading UFFD file descriptor,
finding respective RAM block and saving faulting page to
the migration stream. After page has been saved, write protection
can be removed. Since asynchronous version of qemu_put_buffer()
is expected to be used to save pages, we also have to flush
migraion stream prior to un-protecting saved memory range.
Write protection is being removed for any previously protected
memory chunk that has hit the migration stream. That's valid
for pages from linear page scan along with write fault pages.

fixup pagefault.address cast for 32bit
We synchronize the requested pages right after a postcopy recovery happens.
This helps to synchronize the prioritized pages on source so that the faulted
threads can be served faster.

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.

Some trace points are attributed to the wrong source file. Happens
when we neglect to update trace-events for code motion, or add events
in the wrong place, or misspell the file name.
Clean up with help of scripts/cleanup-trace-events.pl. Funnies
requiring manual post-processing:
* accel/tcg/cputlb.c trace points are in trace-events.
* block.c and blockdev.c trace points are in block/trace-events.
* hw/block/nvme.c uses the preprocessor to hide its trace point use
from cleanup-trace-events.pl.
* hw/tpm/tpm_spapr.c uses pseudo trace point tpm_spapr_show_buffer to

* include/hw/xen/xen_common.h trace points are in hw/xen/trace-events.
* linux-user/trace-events abbreviates a tedious list of filenames to

* net/colo-compare and net/filter-rewriter.c use pseudo trace points
colo_compare_miscompare and colo_filter_rewriter_debug to guard

Introduce support for GTree migration. A custom save/restore
is implemented. Each item is made of a key and a data.
If the key is a pointer to an object, 2 VMSDs are passed into
the GTree VMStateField.
When putting the items, the tree is traversed in sorted order by
g_tree_foreach.
On the get() path, gtrees must be allocated using the proper
key compare, key destroy and value destroy. This must be handled
beforehand, for example in a pre_load method.
Tests are added to test save/dump of structs containing gtrees
including the virtio-iommu domain/mappings scenario.

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.
