This patch series adds support for ARMv8 dirty page logging. It applies on top
of ARMv7 patch series. Similar ARMv8 to dirty page log read is moved to generic
layer and tlb flush has architecture specific flush.
Testing:
--------
- ARMv8 - Tested on Foundation Model.
- ARMv7 - retested on Exynos 5440 development board.
Components:
- Added mmio device to QEMU 'machvirt' with on board memory (1MB in this case),
Device memory is Posix shared memory segment visible to host. Enabled
dirty logging for that memslot.
- Added memslot migration thread to export dirty bit map to host.
- Implemented memory migration thread on host.
Operation:
o On Guest application mmaps() the region (via /dev/mem) and dirties pages.
o The host migration thread does a pre-copy of /dev/shm/aeshmem to a host
file, repeatedly requests QEMU for memory region dirty page log,
incrementally copies dirty pages from /dev/shm/aeshmem to host file.
o Guest application is stopped and both /dev/shm/aeshmem and host file are
checksummed to check for match to validate dirty page log applied
incremental updates, validating logging.
Will upload details to https://github.com/mjsmar/arm-migration-howto
- qemu binary, host mgiration thread, and other deliverables to reproduce
test environment.
