2008-11-11Reintroduce migrate-to-exec: support (Charles Duffy)aliguori
KVM's live migration support included support for exec: URLs, allowing system state to be written or received via an arbitrary popen()ed subprocess. This provides a convenient way to pipe state through a compression algorithm or an arbitrary network transport on its way to its destination, and a convenient way to write state to disk; libvirt's qemu driver currently uses migration to exec: targets for this latter purpose. This version of the patch refactors now-common code from migrate-tcp.c into migrate.c.

2008-10-13Introduce TCP live migration protocolaliguori
This patch introduces a tcp protocol for live migration. It can be used as follows: qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ~/images/linux-test.img -monitor stdio <vm runs for a while> (qemu) migrate tcp:localhost:1025 On the same system: qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ~/images/linux-test.img -incoming tcp:localhost:1025 The monitor can be interacted with while waiting for an incoming live migration.

This patch introduces a command line parameter and monitor command for starting a live migration. The next patch will provide an example of how to use these parameters.
