In GICv4.1, migration has been supported except for (directly-injected)
VLPI. And GICv4.1 Spec explicitly gives a way to get the VLPI's pending
state (which was crucially missing in GICv4.0). So we make VLPI migration
capable on GICv4.1 in this patch set.
In order to support VLPI migration, we need to save and restore all
required configuration information and pending states of VLPIs. But
in fact, the configuration information of VLPIs has already been saved
(or will be reallocated on the dst host...) in vgic(kvm) migration.
So we only have to migrate the pending states of VLPIs specially.
Below is the related workflow in migration.
On the save path:
In migration completion:
pause all vCPUs
|
call each VM state change handler:
pause other devices (just keep from sending interrupts, and
such as VFIO migration protocol has already realized it [1])
|
flush ITS tables into guest RAM
|
flush RDIST pending tables (also flush VLPI state here)
|
...
On the resume path:
load each device's state:
restore ITS tables (include pending tables) from guest RAM
|
for other (PCI) devices (paused), if configured to have VLPIs,
establish the forwarding paths of their VLPIs (and transfer
the pending states from kvm's vgic to VPT here)
We have tested this series in VFIO migration, and found some related
issues in QEMU [2].

History:
v1 -> v2:
- Get the VLPI state from the KVM side.
- Nit fixes.
Since there seems to be no better place to transfer the pending states
in patch 3, we just keep it unchanged.
