There is already support of enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks
for x86. This adds support for arm64. However, unlike x86, all pages,
including huge pages and normal pages, don't need to be write protected
when enabling dirty log if KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET is eanbled. For
that both huge pages and normal pages can be write protected later by
userspace manually.
Under the Huawei Kunpeng 920 2.6GHz platform, I did some tests on 128G
Linux VMs with different page size. The memory pressure is 127G in each
case. The time taken of memory_global_dirty_log_start in QEMU is listed
below:
Page Size Before After Optimization
4K 650ms 1.8ms
2M 4ms 1.8ms
1G 2ms 1.8ms
