qemu/osdep.h checks whether MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined, but this check is bogus without a previous inclusion of sys/mman.h. Include it in sysemu/os-posix.h and remove it from everywhere else. Reviewed-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2015-11-25Assume madvise for (no)hugepage worksDr. David Alan Gilbert
madvise() returns EINVAL in the case of many failures, but also returns it in cases where the host kernel doesn't have THP enabled. 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.

2015-11-10Inhibit ballooning during postcopyDr. David Alan Gilbert
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.

2015-11-10Disable mlock around incoming postcopyDr. David Alan Gilbert
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.

2015-11-10Postcopy: Mark nohugepage before discardDr. David Alan Gilbert
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.

2015-11-10Postcopy; Handle userfault requestsDr. David Alan Gilbert
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.
