Commit e50caf4a5c ("tracing: convert documentation to rST")
converted docs/devel/tracing.txt to docs/devel/tracing.rst.
We still have several references to the old file, so let's fix them
with the following command:
sed -i s/tracing.txt/tracing.rst/ $(git grep -l docs/devel/tracing.txt)

KVM dirty ring is a new interface to pass over dirty bits from kernel to the
userspace. Instead of using a bitmap for each memory region, the dirty ring
contains an array of dirtied GPAs to fetch (in the form of offset in slots).
For each vcpu there will be one dirty ring that binds to it.
kvm_dirty_ring_reap() is the major function to collect dirty rings. It can be
called either by a standalone reaper thread that runs in the background,
collecting dirty pages for the whole VM. It can also be called directly by any
thread that has BQL taken.

Clean up the error handling in kvm_init_vcpu so we can see what went
wrong more easily.
Make it take an Error ** and fill it out with what failed, including
the cpu id, so you can tell if it only fails at a given ID.
Replace the remaining DPRINTF by a trace.
This turns a:
kvm_init_vcpu failed: Invalid argument
into:
kvm_init_vcpu: kvm_get_vcpu failed (256): Invalid argument
and with the trace you then get to see:
19049@1595520414.310107:kvm_init_vcpu index: 169 id: 212
19050@1595520414.310635:kvm_init_vcpu index: 170 id: 256
qemu-system-x86_64: kvm_init_vcpu: kvm_get_vcpu failed (256): Invalid argument
which makes stuff a lot more obvious.

This is majorly only for X86 because that's the only one that supports
split irqchip for now.
When the irqchip is split, we face a dilemma that KVM irqfd will be
enabled, however the slow irqchip is still running in the userspace.
It means that the resamplefd in the kernel irqfds won't take any
effect and it will miss to ack INTx interrupts on EOIs.
One example is split irqchip with VFIO INTx, which will break if we
use the VFIO INTx fast path.
This patch can potentially supports the VFIO fast path again for INTx,
that the IRQ delivery will still use the fast path, while we don't
need to trap MMIOs in QEMU for the device to emulate the EIOs (see the
callers of vfio_eoi() hook). However the EOI of the INTx will still
need to be done from the userspace by caching all the resamplefds in
QEMU and kick properly for IOAPIC EOI broadcast.
This is tricky because in this case the userspace ioapic irr &
remote-irr will be bypassed. However such a change will greatly boost
performance for assigned devices using INTx irqs (TCP_RR boosts 46%
after this patch applied).
When the userspace is responsible for the resamplefd kickup, don't
register it on the kvm_irqfd anymore, because on newer kernels (after
commit 654f1f13ea56, 5.2+) the KVM_IRQFD will fail if with both split
irqchip and resamplefd. This will make sure that the fast path will
work for all supported kernels.

Firstly detect the interface using KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2
and mark it. When failed to enable the new feature we'll fall back to
the old sync.
Provide the log_clear() hook for the memory listeners for both address
spaces of KVM (normal system memory, and SMM) and deliever the clear
message to kernel.

This adds a tracepoint to trace the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl
parameters which is quite useful for debugging VFIO memory regions
being actually registered with KVM.
