migration/postcopy: Add postcopy-recover-setup phase

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.

migration: Rename thread debug names

The postcopy thread names on dest QEMU are slightly confusing, partly I'll
need to blame myself on 36f62f11e4 ("migration: Postcopy preemption
preparation on channel creation"). E.g., "fault-fast" reads like a fast
version of "fault-default", but it's actually the fast version of
"postcopy/listen".

Taking this chance, rename all the migration threads with proper rules.
Considering we only have 15 chars usable, prefix all threads with "mig/",
meanwhile identify src/dst threads properly this time. So now most thread
names will look like "mig/DIR/xxx", where DIR will be "src"/"dst", except
the bg-snapshot thread which doesn't have a direction.

For multifd threads, making them "mig/{src|dst}/{send|recv}_%d".

We used to have "live_migration" thread for a very long time, now it's
called "mig/src/main". We may hope to have "mig/dst/main" soon but not
yet.

migration: Rephrase message on failure to save / load Xen device state

Functions that use an Error **errp parameter to return errors should
not also report them to the user, because reporting is the caller's
job. When the caller does, the error is reported twice. When it
doesn't (because it recovered from the error), there is no error to
report, i.e. the report is bogus.

qmp_xen_save_devices_state() and qmp_xen_load_devices_state() violate
this principle: they call qemu_save_device_state() and
qemu_loadvm_state(), which call error_report_err().

I wish I could clean this up now, but migration's error reporting is
too complicated (confused?) for me to mess with it.

Instead, I'm merely improving the error reported by
qmp_xen_load_devices_state() and qmp_xen_load_devices_state() to the
QMP core from

to

and

migration: Don't serialize devices in qemu_savevm_state_iterate()

Commit 90697be8896c ("live migration: Serialize vmstate saving in stage
2") introduced device serialization in qemu_savevm_state_iterate(). The
rationale behind it was to first complete migration of slower changing
block devices and only then migrate the RAM, to avoid sending fast
changing RAM pages over and over.

This commit was added a long time ago, and while it was useful back
then, it is not the case anymore:
1. Block migration is deprecated, see commit 66db46ca83b8 ("migration:
Deprecate block migration").
2. Today there are other iterative devices besides RAM and block, such
as VFIO, which are registered for migration after RAM. With current
serialization behavior, a fast changing device can block other
devices from sending their data, which may prevent migration from
converging in some cases.

The issue described in item 2 was observed in several VFIO migration
scenarios with switchover-ack capability enabled, where some workload on
the VM prevented RAM from ever reaching a hard zero, thus blocking VFIO
initial pre-copy data from being sent. Hence, destination could not ack
switchover and migration could not converge.

Fix that by not serializing iterative devices in
qemu_savevm_state_iterate().

Note that this still doesn't fully prevent device starvation. As
correctly pointed out by Peter [1], a fast changing device might
constantly consume all allocated bandwidth and block the following
devices. However, this scenario is more likely to happen only if
max-bandwidth is low.

migration/ram: Introduce 'mapped-ram' migration capability

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.

migration: preserve suspended for snapshot

Restoring a snapshot can break a suspended guest. Snapshots suffer from
the same suspended-state issues that affect live migration, plus they must
handle an additional problematic scenario, which is that a running vm must
remain running if it loads a suspended snapshot.

To save, the existing vm_stop call now completely stops the suspended
state. Finish with vm_resume to leave the vm in the state it had prior
to the save, correctly restoring the suspended state.

To load, if the snapshot is not suspended, then vm_stop + vm_resume
correctly handles all states, and leaves the vm in the state it had prior
to the load. However, if the snapshot is suspended, restoration is
trickier. First, call vm_resume to restore the state to suspended so the
current state matches the saved state. Then, if the pre-load state is
running, call wakeup to resume running.

Prior to these changes, the vm_stop to RUN_STATE_SAVE_VM and
RUN_STATE_RESTORE_VM did not change runstate if the current state was
suspended, but now it does, so allow these transitions.

migration: Add tracepoints for downtime checkpoints

This patch is inspired by Joao Martin's patch here:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230926161841.98464-1-joao.m.martins@oracle.com

Add tracepoints for major downtime checkpoints on both src and dst. They
share the same tracepoint with a string showing its stage.

Besides the checkpoints in the previous patch, this patch also added
destination checkpoints.

On src, we have these checkpoints added:

- src-downtime-start: right before vm stops on src
- src-vm-stopped: after vm is fully stopped
- src-iterable-saved: after all iterables saved (END sections)
- src-non-iterable-saved: after all non-iterable saved (FULL sections)
- src-downtime-stop: migration fully completed

On dst, we have these checkpoints added:

- dst-precopy-loadvm-completes: after loadvm all done for precopy
- dst-precopy-bh-*: record BH steps to resume VM for precopy
- dst-postcopy-bh-*: record BH steps to resume VM for postcopy

On dst side, we don't have a good way to trace total time consumed by
iterable or non-iterable for now. We can mark it by 1st time receiving a
FULL / END section, but rather than that let's just rely on the other
tracepoints added for vmstates to back up the information.

With this patch, one can enable "vmstate_downtime*" tracepoints and it'll
enable all tracepoints for downtime measurements necessary.

Drop loadvm_postcopy_handle_run_bh() tracepoint alongside, because they
service the same purpose, which was only for postcopy. We then have
unified prefix for all downtime relevant tracepoints.

migration: Add per vmstate downtime tracepoints

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.
