This patch is based on the algorithm for the kvm.ko halt_poll_ns
parameter in Linux. The initial polling time is zero.
If the event loop is woken up within the maximum polling time it means
polling could be effective, so grow polling time.
If the event loop is woken up beyond the maximum polling time it means
polling is not effective, so shrink polling time.
If the event loop makes progress within the current polling time then
the sweet spot has been reached.
This algorithm adjusts the polling time so it can adapt to variations in
workloads. The goal is to reach the sweet spot while also recognizing
when polling would hurt more than help.
Two new trace events, poll_grow and poll_shrink, are added for observing
polling time adjustment.

The AioContext event loop uses ppoll(2) or epoll_wait(2) to monitor file
descriptors or until a timer expires. In cases like virtqueues, Linux
AIO, and ThreadPool it is technically possible to wait for events via
polling (i.e. continuously checking for events without blocking).
Polling can be faster than blocking syscalls because file descriptors,
the process scheduler, and system calls are bypassed.
The main disadvantage to polling is that it increases CPU utilization.
In classic polling configuration a full host CPU thread might run at
100% to respond to events as quickly as possible. This patch implements
a timeout so we fall back to blocking syscalls if polling detects no
activity. After the timeout no CPU cycles are wasted on polling until
the next event loop iteration.
The run_poll_handlers_begin() and run_poll_handlers_end() trace events
are added to aid performance analysis and troubleshooting. If you need
to know whether polling mode is being used, trace these events to find
out.
Note that the AioContext is now re-acquired before disabling notify_me
in the non-polling case. This makes the code cleaner since notify_me
was enabled outside the non-polling AioContext release region. This
change is correct since it's safe to keep notify_me enabled longer
(disabling is an optimization) but potentially causes unnecessary
event_notifer_set() calls. I think the chance of performance regression
is small here.

With a vfio assigned device we lay down a base MemoryRegion registered
as an IO region, giving us read & write accessors. If the region
supports mmap, we lay down a higher priority sub-region MemoryRegion
on top of the base layer initialized as a RAM device pointer to the
mmap. Finally, if we have any quirks for the device (ie. address
ranges that need additional virtualization support), we put another IO
sub-region on top of the mmap MemoryRegion. When this is flattened,
we now potentially have sub-page mmap MemoryRegions exposed which
cannot be directly mapped through KVM.
This is as expected, but a subtle detail of this is that we end up
with two different access mechanisms through QEMU. If we disable the
mmap MemoryRegion, we make use of the IO MemoryRegion and service
accesses using pread and pwrite to the vfio device file descriptor.
If the mmap MemoryRegion is enabled and results in one of these
sub-page gaps, QEMU handles the access as RAM, using memcpy to the
mmap. Using either pread/pwrite or the mmap directly should be
correct, but using memcpy causes us problems. I expect that not only
does memcpy not necessarily honor the original width and alignment in
performing a copy, but it potentially also uses processor instructions
not intended for MMIO spaces. It turns out that this has been a
problem for Realtek NIC assignment, which has such a quirk that
creates a sub-page mmap MemoryRegion access.
To resolve this, we disable memory_access_is_direct() for ram_device
regions since QEMU assumes that it can use memcpy for those regions.
Instead we access through MemoryRegionOps, which replaces the memcpy
with simple de-references of standard sizes to the host memory.
With this patch we attempt to provide unrestricted access to the RAM
device, allowing byte through qword access as well as unaligned
access. The assumption here is that accesses initiated by the VM are
driven by a device specific driver, which knows the device
capabilities. If unaligned accesses are not supported by the device,
we don't want them to work in a VM by performing multiple aligned
accesses to compose the unaligned access. A down-side of this
philosophy is that the xp command from the monitor attempts to use
the largest available access weidth, unaware of the underlying
device. Using memcpy had this same restriction, but at least now an
operator can dump individual registers, even if blocks of device
memory may result in access widths beyond the capabilities of a
given device (RTL NICs only support up to dword).

We will rewrite tcp packet secondary received and sent.
When colo guest is a tcp server.
Firstly, client start a tcp handshake. the packet's seq=client_seq,
ack=0,flag=SYN. COLO primary guest get this pkt and mirror(filter-mirror)
to secondary guest, secondary get it use filter-redirector.
Then,primary guest response pkt
(seq=primary_seq,ack=client_seq+1,flag=ACK|SYN).
secondary guest response pkt
(seq=secondary_seq,ack=client_seq+1,flag=ACK|SYN).
In here,we use filter-rewriter save the secondary_seq to it's tcp connection.
Finally handshake,client send pkt
(seq=client_seq+1,ack=primary_seq+1,flag=ACK).
Here,filter-rewriter can get primary_seq, and rewrite ack from primary_seq+1
to secondary_seq+1, recalculate checksum. So the secondary tcp connection
kept good.
When we send/recv packet.
client send pkt(seq=client_seq+1+data_len,ack=primary_seq+1,flag=ACK|PSH).
filter-rewriter rewrite ack and send to secondary guest.
primary guest response pkt
(seq=primary_seq+1,ack=client_seq+1+data_len,flag=ACK)
secondary guest response pkt
(seq=secondary_seq+1,ack=client_seq+1+data_len,flag=ACK)
we rewrite secondary guest seq from secondary_seq+1 to primary_seq+1.
So tcp connection kept good.
In code We use offset( = secondary_seq - primary_seq )
to rewrite seq or ack.
handle_primary_tcp_pkt: tcp_pkt->th_ack += offset;
handle_secondary_tcp_pkt: tcp_pkt->th_seq -= offset;

VMs created on older versions on Xen will not have been provisioned with
pages to support creation of non-default ioreq servers. In this case
the ioreq server API is not supported and QEMU's only option is to fall
back to using the default ioreq server pages as it did prior to
commit 3996e85c ("Xen: Use the ioreq-server API when available").
This patch therefore changes the code in xen_common.h to stop considering
a failure of xc_hvm_create_ioreq_server() as a hard failure but simply
as an indication that the guest is too old to support the ioreq server
API. Instead a boolean is set to cause reversion to old behaviour such
that the default ioreq server is then used.
