Many write-locked sections are also drained sections. A new
bdrv_graph_wrunlock_drained() wrapper around bdrv_graph_wrunlock() is
introduced, which will begin a drained section first. A global
variable is used so bdrv_graph_wrunlock() knows if it also needs
to end such a drained section. Both the aio_poll call in
bdrv_graph_wrlock() and the aio_bh_poll() in bdrv_graph_wrunlock()
can re-enter a write-locked section. While for the latter, ending the
drain could be moved to before the call, the former requires that the
variable is a counter and not just a boolean.
Since the wrapper calls bdrv_drain_all_begin(), which must be called
with the graph unlocked, mark the wrapper as GRAPH_UNLOCKED too.
The switch to the new helpers was generated with the following
commands and then manually checked:
find . -name '*.c' -exec sed -i -z 's/bdrv_drain_all_begin();\n\s*bdrv_graph_wrlock();/bdrv_graph_wrlock_drained();/g' {} ';'
find . -name '*.c' -exec sed -i -z 's/bdrv_graph_wrunlock();\n\s*bdrv_drain_all_end();/bdrv_graph_wrunlock();/g' {} ';'

All accesses of bs->quiesce_counter are in the main thread, either
after a GLOBAL_STATE_CODE() macro or in a function with GRAPH_WRLOCK
annotation.
This is essentially a revert of 414c2ec358 ("block: access
quiesce_counter with atomic ops"). At that time, neither the
GLOBAL_STATE_CODE() macro nor the GRAPH_WRLOCK annotation existed.
Even if the field was only accessed in the main thread back then (did
not check if that is actually the case), it wouldn't have been easy to
verify.

In the linux-user do_fork() function we try to set the FD_CLOEXEC
flag on a pidfd like this:
fcntl(pid_fd, F_SETFD, fcntl(pid_fd, F_GETFL) | FD_CLOEXEC);
This has two problems:
(1) it doesn't check errors, which Coverity complains about
(2) we use F_GETFL when we mean F_GETFD
Deal with both of these problems by using qemu_set_cloexec() instead.
That function will assert() if the fcntls fail, which is fine (we are
inside fork_start()/fork_end() so we know nothing can mess around
with our file descriptors here, and we just got this one from
pidfd_open()).
(As we are touching the if() statement here, we correct the
indentation.)

Recent patch [1] renames the save_live_complete_precopy handler to
save_complete, as the machine is not live in most cases when this
handler is executed. The same is true also for
save_live_complete_precopy_thread, therefore this patch removes the
"live" keyword from the handler itself and related types to keep the
naming unified.
In contrast to save_complete, this handler is only executed at the end
of precopy, therefore the "precopy" keyword is retained.

Add the latency distribution too for blocktime, using order-of-two buckets.
It accounts for all the faults, from either vCPU or non-vCPU threads. With
prior rework, it's very easy to achieve by adding an array to account for
faults in each buckets.
Sample output for HMP (while for QMP it's simply an array):
Postcopy Latency Distribution:
[ 1 us - 2 us ]: 0
[ 2 us - 4 us ]: 0
[ 4 us - 8 us ]: 1
[ 8 us - 16 us ]: 2
[ 16 us - 32 us ]: 2

When used to report page fault latencies, the blocktime feature can be
almost useless when KVM async page fault is enabled, because in most cases
such remote fault will kickoff async page faults, then it's not trackable
from blocktime layer.
After all these recent rewrites to blocktime layer, it's finally so easy to
also support tracking non-vCPU faults. It'll be even faster if we could
always index fault records with TIDs, unfortunately we need to maintain the
blocktime API which report things in vCPU indexes.
Of course this can work not only for kworkers, but also any guest accesses
that may reach a missing page, for example, very likely when in the QEMU
main thread too (and all other threads whenever applicable).
In this case, we don't care about "how long the threads are blocked", but
we only care about "how long the fault will be resolved".

Currently, the postcopy blocktime feature maintains vCPU fault information
using an array (vcpu_addr[]). It has two issues.
Issue 1: Performance Concern
============================
The old algorithm was almost OK and fast on inserts, except that the lookup
is slow and won't scale if there are a lot of vCPUs: when a page is copied
during postcopy, mark_postcopy_blocktime_end() will walk the whole array
trying to find which vCPUs are blocked by the address. So it needs
constant O(N) walk for each page resolution.
Alexey (the author of postcopy blocktime) mentioned the perf issue and how
to optimize it in a piece of comment in the page resolution path. The
comment was (interestingly..) not complete, but it's relatively clear what
he wanted to say about this perf issue.
Issue 2: Wrong Accounting on re-entrancies
==========================================
People might think that each vCPU should only and always get one fault at a
time, so that when the blocktime layer captured one fault on one vCPU, we
should never see another fault message on this vCPU.
It's almost correct, except in some extreme rare cases.
Case 1: it's possible the fault thread processes the userfaultfd messages
too fast so it can see >1 messages on one vCPU before the previous one was
resolved.
Case 2: it's theoretically also possible one vCPU can get even more than
one message on the same fault address if a fault is retried by the
kernel (e.g., handle_userfault() got interrupted before page resolution).
As this info might be important, instead of using commit message, I put
more details into the code as comment, when introducing an array
maintaining concurrent faults on one vCPU. Please refer to the comments
for details on both cases, especially case 1 which can be tricky.
Case 1 sounds rare, but it can be easily reproduced locally for me when we
run blocktime together with the migration-test on the vanilla postcopy.
New Design
==========
This patch should do almost what Alexey mentioned, but slightly
differently: instead of having an array to maintain vCPU fault addresses,
for each of the fault message we push a message into a hash, indexed by the
fault address.
With the hash, it can replace the old two structs: both the vcpu_addr[]
array, and also the array to store the start time of the fault. However
due to above we need one more counter array to account concurrent faults on
the same vCPU - that should even be needed in the old code, it's just that
the old code was buggy and it will blindly overwrite an existing
entry.. now we'll start to really track everything.
The hash structure might be more efficient than tree to maintain such
addr->(cpu, fault_time) information, so that the insert() and lookup()
paths should ideally both be ~O(1). After all, we do not need to sort.
Here we need to do one remove() though after the lookup(). It could be
slow but only if many vCPUs faulted exactly on the same address (so when
the list of cpu entries is long), which should be unlikely. Even with that,
it's still a worst case O(N) (consider 400 vCPUs faulted on the same
address and how likely is it..) rather than a constant O(N) complexity.
When at it, touch up the tracepoints to make them slightly more useful.
One tracepoint is added when walking all the fault entries.

The variable vcpu_total_blocktime isn't easy to follow. In reality, it
wants to capture the case where all vCPUs are stopped, and now there will
be some vCPUs starts running.
The name now starts to conflict with vcpu_blocktime_total[], meanwhile it's
actually not necessary to have the variable at all: since nobody is
touching smp_cpus_down except ourselves, we can safely do the calculation
at the end before decrementing smp_cpus_down.
Hopefully this makes the logic easier to read, side benefit is we drop one
temp var.

Looking up the vCPU index for each fault can be expensive when there're
hundreds of vCPUs. Provide a cache for tid->vcpu instead with a hash
table, then lookup from there.
When at it, add another counter to record how many non-vCPU faults it gets.
For example, the main thread can also access a guest page that was missing.
These kind of faults are not accounted by blocktime so far.

Before this patch, the blocktime context can be created very early, because
postcopy_ram_supported_by_host() <- migrate_caps_check() can happen during
migration object init.
The trick here is the blocktime context needs system vCPU information,
which seems to be possible to change after that point. I didn't verify it,
but it doesn't sound right.
Now move it out and initialize the context only when postcopy listen
starts. That is already during a migration so it should be guaranteed the
vCPU topology can never change on both sides.
While at it, assert that the ctx isn't created instead this time; the old
"if" trick isn't needed when we're sure it will only happen once now.

Blocktime so far only cares about the time one vcpu (or the whole system)
got blocked. It would be also be helpful if it can also report the latency
of page requests, which could be very sensitive during postcopy.
Blocktime itself is sometimes not very important, especially when one
thinks about KVM async PF support, which means vCPUs are literally almost
not blocked at all because the guest OS is smart enough to switch to
another task when a remote fault is needed.
However, latency is still sensitive and important because even if the guest
vCPU is running on threads that do not need a remote fault, the workload
that accesses some missing page is still affected.
Add two entries to the report, showing how long it takes to resolve a
remote fault. Mention in the QAPI doc that this is not the real average
fault latency, but only the ones that was requested for a remote fault.
Unwrap get_vcpu_blocktime_list() so we don't need to walk the list twice,
meanwhile add the entry checks in qtests for all postcopy tests.

I am guessing it was used to be 32bits because of the atomic ops. Now all
the atomic ops are gone and we're protected by a mutex instead, it's ok we
can switch to 64 bits.
Reasons to move over:
- Allow further patches to change the unit from ms to us: with postcopy
preempt mode, we're really into hundreds of microseconds level on
blocktime. We'd better be able to trap those.
- This also paves way for some other tricks that the original version
used to avoid overflows, e.g., start_time was almost only useful before
to make sure the sampled timestamp won't overflow a 32-bit field.
- This prepares further reports on top of existing data collected,
e.g. average page fault latencies. When average operation is taken into
account, milliseconds are simply too coarse grained.
When at it:
- Rename page_fault_vcpu_time to vcpu_blocktime_start.
- Rename vcpu_blocktime to vcpu_blocktime_total.
- Touch up the trace-events to not dump blocktime ctx pointer

The postcopy blocktime feature was tricky that it used quite some atomic
operations over quite a few arrays and vars, without explaining how that
would be thread safe. The thread safety here is about concurrency between
the fault thread and the fault resolution threads, possible to access the
same chunk of data. All these atomic ops can be expensive too before
knowing clearly how it works.
OTOH, postcopy has one page_request_mutex used to serialize the received
bitmap updates. So far it's ok - we don't yet have a lot of threads
contending the lock. It might change after multifd will be supported, but
that's a separate story. What is important is, with that mutex, it's
pretty lightweight to move all the blocktime maintenance into the mutex
critical section. It's because the blocktime layer is lightweighted:
almost "remember which vcpu faulted on which address", and "ok we get some
fault resolved, calculate how long it takes". It's also an optional
feature for now (but I have thought of changing that, maybe in the future).
Let's push the blocktime layer into the mutex, so that it's always
thread-safe even without any atomic ops.
To achieve that, I'll need to add a tid parameter on fault path so that
it'll start to pass the faulted thread ID into deeper the stack, but not
too deep. When at it, add a comment for the shared fault handler (for
example, vhost-user devices running with postcopy), to mention a TODO. One
reason it might not be trivial is that vhost-user's userfaultfds should be
opened by vhost-user process, so it's pretty hard to control making sure
the TID feature will be around. It wasn't supported before, so keep it
like that for now.
Now we should be as ease when everything is protected by a mutex that we
always take anyway.
One side effect: we can finally remove one ramblock_recv_bitmap_test() in
mark_postcopy_blocktime_begin(), which was pretty weird and which also
includes a weird (but maybe necessary.. but maybe not?) operation to inject
a blocktime entry then quickly erase it.. When we're with the mutex, and
when we make sure it's invoked after checking the receive bitmap, it's not
needed anymore. Instead, we assert.
As another side effect, this paves way for removing all atomic ops in all
the mem accesses in blocktime layer.
Note that we need a stub for mark_postcopy_blocktime_begin() for Windows
builds.

There're a few things off here in that logic, rewrite it. When at it, add
rich comment to explain each of the decisions.
Since this is very sensitive path for migration, below are the list of
things changed with their reasonings.
(1) Exact pending size is only needed for precopy not postcopy
Fundamentally it's because "exact" version only does one more deep
sync to fetch the pending results, while in postcopy's case it's
never going to sync anything more than estimate as the VM on source
is stopped.
(2) Do _not_ rely on threshold_size anymore to decide whether postcopy
should complete
threshold_size was calculated from the expected downtime and
bandwidth only during precopy as an efficient way to decide when to
switchover. It's not sensible to rely on threshold_size in postcopy.
For precopy, if switchover is decided, the migration will complete
soon. It's not true for postcopy. Logically speaking, postcopy
should only complete the migration if all pending data is flushed.
Here it used to work because save_complete() used to implicitly
contain save_live_iterate() when there's pending size.
Even if that looks benign, having RAMs to be migrated in postcopy's
save_complete() has other bad side effects:
(a) Since save_complete() needs to be run once at a time, it means
when moving RAM there's no way moving other things (rather than
round-robin iterating the vmstate handlers like what we do with
ITERABLE phase). Not an immediate concern, but it may stop working
in the future when there're more than one iterables (e.g. vfio
postcopy).
(b) postcopy recovery, unfortunately, only works during ITERABLE
phase. IOW, if src QEMU moves RAM during postcopy's save_complete()
and network failed, then it'll crash both QEMUs... OTOH if it failed
during iteration it'll still be recoverable. IOW, this change should
further reduce the window QEMU split brain and crash in extreme cases.
If we enable the ram_save_complete() tracepoints, we'll see this
before this patch:
1267959@1748381938.294066:ram_save_complete dirty=9627, done=0
1267959@1748381938.308884:ram_save_complete dirty=0, done=1
It means in this migration there're 9627 pages migrated at complete()
of postcopy phase.
After this change, all the postcopy RAM should be migrated in iterable
phase, rather than save_complete():
1267959@1748381938.294066:ram_save_complete dirty=0, done=0
1267959@1748381938.308884:ram_save_complete dirty=0, done=1
(3) Adjust when to decide to switch to postcopy
This shouldn't be super important, the movement makes sure there's
only one in_postcopy check, then we are clear on what we do with the
two completely differnt use cases (precopy v.s. postcopy).
(4) Trivial touch up on threshold_size comparision
Which changes:
"(!pending_size || pending_size < s->threshold_size)"
into:
"(pending_size <= s->threshold_size)"

e.g. by specifying the config file name via the MAC address or the
UUID of the guest. Also check whether we can successfully load an
alternate kernel via the "loadparm" parameter here and whether the
boot menu shows up with "-boot menu=on".

Show a simple boot menu for pxelinux.cfg, too, if the user requested it.

We are going to reuse this function for selecting an entry from
the pxelinux.cfg menu, so rename this function with a "menu_"
prefix and make it available globally.

We're going to support a menu for the pxelinux.cfg code, and to be able
to reuse some functionality from menu.c, we should align the maximum
amount of possible entries with the MAX_BOOT_ENTRIES constant that is
used there. Thus replace MAX_PXELINUX_ENTRIES with MAX_BOOT_ENTRIES.

Since we're linking the network booting code into the main firmware
binary nowadays, we can support the "loadparm" parameter now quite
easily for pxelinux.cfg config files that contain multiple entries.
