This patch adds a migration state on src called "postcopy-recover-setup".
The new state will describe the intermediate step starting from when the
src QEMU received a postcopy recovery request, until the migration channels
are properly established, but before the recovery process take place.
The request came from Libvirt where Libvirt currently rely on the migration
state events to detect migration state changes. That works for most of the
migration process but except postcopy recovery failures at the beginning.
Currently postcopy recovery only has two major states:
- postcopy-paused: this is the state that both sides of QEMU will be in
for a long time as long as the migration channel was interrupted.
- postcopy-recover: this is the state where both sides of QEMU handshake
with each other, preparing for a continuation of postcopy which used to
be interrupted.
The issue here is when the recovery port is invalid, the src QEMU will take
the URI/channels, noticing the ports are not valid, and it'll silently keep
in the postcopy-paused state, with no event sent to Libvirt. In this case,
the only thing Libvirt can do is to poll the migration status with a proper
interval, however that's less optimal.
Considering that this is the only case where Libvirt won't get a
notification from QEMU on such events, let's add postcopy-recover-setup
state to mimic what we have with the "setup" state of a newly initialized
migration, describing the phase of connection establishment.
With that, postcopy recovery will have two paths to go now, and either path
will guarantee an event generated. Now the events will look like this
during a recovery process on src QEMU:
- Initially when the recovery is initiated on src, QEMU will go from
"postcopy-paused" -> "postcopy-recover-setup". Old QEMUs don't have
this event.
- Depending on whether the channel re-establishment is succeeded:
- In succeeded case, src QEMU will move from "postcopy-recover-setup"
to "postcopy-recover". Old QEMUs also have this event.
- In failure case, src QEMU will move from "postcopy-recover-setup" to
"postcopy-paused" again. Old QEMUs don't have this event.
This guarantees that Libvirt will always receive a notification for
recovery process properly.
One thing to mention is, such new status is only needed on src QEMU not
both. On dest QEMU, the state machine doesn't change. Hence the events
don't change either. It's done like so because dest QEMU may not have an
explicit point of setup start. E.g., it can happen that when dest QEMUs
doesn't use migrate-recover command to use a new URI/channel, but the old
URI/channels can be reused in recovery, in which case the old ports simply
can work again after the network routes are fixed up.
Add a new helper postcopy_is_paused() detecting whether postcopy is still
paused, taking RECOVER_SETUP into account too. When using it on both
src/dst, a slight change is done altogether to always wait for the
semaphore before checking the status, because for both sides a sem_post()
will be required for a recovery.

Postcopy with preempt-mode enabled needs two channels to communicate. The
order of channel establishment is not guaranteed. It can happen that the
dest QEMU got the preempt channel connection request before the main
channel is established, then the migration may make no progress even during
precopy due to the wrong order.
To fix it, create the preempt channel only if we know the main channel is
established.
For a general postcopy migration, we delay it until postcopy_start(),
that's where we already went through some part of precopy on the main
channel. To make sure dest QEMU has already established the channel, we
wait until we got the first PONG received. That's something we do at the
start of precopy when postcopy enabled so it's guaranteed to happen sooner
or later.
For a postcopy recovery, we delay it to qemu_savevm_state_resume_prepare()
where we'll have round trips of data on bitmap synchronizations, which
means the main channel must have been established.

Current logic assumes that channel connections on the destination side are
always established in the same order as the source and the first one will
always be the main channel followed by the multifid or post-copy
preemption channel. This may not be always true, as even if a channel has a
connection established on the source side it can be in the pending state on
the destination side and a newer connection can be established first.
Basically causing out of order mapping of channels on the destination side.
Currently, all channels except post-copy preempt send a magic number, this
patch uses that magic number to decide the type of channel. This logic is
applicable only for precopy(multifd) live migration, as mentioned, the
post-copy preempt channel does not send any magic number. Also, tls live
migrations already does tls handshake before creating other channels, so
this issue is not possible with tls, hence this logic is avoided for tls
live migrations. This patch uses read peek to check the magic number of
channels so that current data/control stream management remains
un-effected.

This patch allows the postcopy preempt channel to be created
asynchronously. The benefit is that when the connection is slow, we won't
take the BQL (and potentially block all things like QMP) for a long time
without releasing.
A function postcopy_preempt_wait_channel() is introduced, allowing the
migration thread to be able to wait on the channel creation. The channel
is always created by the main thread, in which we'll kick a new semaphore
to tell the migration thread that the channel has created.
We'll need to wait for the new channel in two places: (1) when there's a
new postcopy migration that is starting, or (2) when there's a postcopy
migration to resume.
For the start of migration, we don't need to wait for this channel until
when we want to start postcopy, aka, postcopy_start(). We'll fail the
migration if we found that the channel creation failed (which should
probably not happen at all in 99% of the cases, because the main channel is
using the same network topology).
For a postcopy recovery, we'll need to wait in postcopy_pause(). In that
case if the channel creation failed, we can't fail the migration or we'll
crash the VM, instead we keep in PAUSED state, waiting for yet another
recovery.

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.
