Since the commit 05e385d2a9 ("error: Move ERRP_GUARD() to the beginning
of the function"), there are new codes that don't put ERRP_GUARD() at
the beginning of the functions.
As stated in the commit 05e385d2a9: "include/qapi/error.h advises to put
ERRP_GUARD() right at the beginning of the function, because only then
can it guard the whole function.", so clean up the few spots
disregarding the advice.

As the comment in qapi/error, passing @errp to error_prepend() requires
ERRP_GUARD():
* = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() =
*
* Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
...
* - It should not be passed to error_prepend(), error_vprepend() or
* error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal.
* ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
*
* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
* @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
* NULL or &error_fatal.
ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is &error_fatal, the user
can't see this additional information, because exit() happens in
error_setg earlier than information is added [1].
The migrate_params_check() passes @errp to error_prepend() without
ERRP_GUARD(), and it could be called from migration_object_init(),
where the passed @errp points to @error_fatal.
Therefore, the error message echoed in error_prepend() will be lost
because of the above issue.
To fix this, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at the beginning of this function.

zero page checking can be done in the multifd threads and this

The new mapped-ram stream format uses a file transport and puts ram
pages in the migration file at their respective offsets and can be
done in parallel by using the pwritev system call which takes iovecs
and an offset.
Add support to enabling the new format along with multifd to make use
of the threading and page handling already in place.
This requires multifd to stop sending headers and leaving the stream
format to the mapped-ram code. When it comes time to write the data, we
need to call a version of qio_channel_write that can take an offset.
Usage on HMP is:
(qemu) stop
(qemu) migrate_set_capability multifd on
(qemu) migrate_set_capability mapped-ram on
(qemu) migrate_set_parameter max-bandwidth 0
(qemu) migrate_set_parameter multifd-channels 8

Add a new migration capability 'mapped-ram'.
The core of the feature is to ensure that RAM pages are mapped
directly to offsets in the resulting migration file instead of being
streamed at arbitrary points.
The reasons why we'd want such behavior are:
- The resulting file will have a bounded size, since pages which are
dirtied multiple times will always go to a fixed location in the
file, rather than constantly being added to a sequential
stream. This eliminates cases where a VM with, say, 1G of RAM can
result in a migration file that's 10s of GBs, provided that the
workload constantly redirties memory.
- It paves the way to implement O_DIRECT-enabled save/restore of the
migration stream as the pages are ensured to be written at aligned
offsets.
- It allows the usage of multifd so we can write RAM pages to the
migration file in parallel.
For now, enabling the capability has no effect. The next couple of
patches implement the core functionality.

current migration algorithm, and does not need to be explicitly set.
No functional change until a new mode is added, except that the mode is

Migration bandwidth is a very important value to live migration. It's
because it's one of the major factors that we'll make decision on when to
switchover to destination in a precopy process.
This value is currently estimated by QEMU during the whole live migration
process by monitoring how fast we were sending the data. This can be the
most accurate bandwidth if in the ideal world, where we're always feeding
unlimited data to the migration channel, and then it'll be limited to the
bandwidth that is available.
However in reality it may be very different, e.g., over a 10Gbps network we
can see query-migrate showing migration bandwidth of only a few tens of
MB/s just because there are plenty of other things the migration thread
might be doing. For example, the migration thread can be busy scanning
zero pages, or it can be fetching dirty bitmap from other external dirty
sources (like vhost or KVM). It means we may not be pushing data as much
as possible to migration channel, so the bandwidth estimated from "how many
data we sent in the channel" can be dramatically inaccurate sometimes.
With that, the decision to switchover will be affected, by assuming that we
may not be able to switchover at all with such a low bandwidth, but in
reality we can.
The migration may not even converge at all with the downtime specified,
with that wrong estimation of bandwidth, keeping iterations forever with a
low estimation of bandwidth.
The issue is QEMU itself may not be able to avoid those uncertainties on
measuing the real "available migration bandwidth". At least not something
I can think of so far.
One way to fix this is when the user is fully aware of the available
bandwidth, then we can allow the user to help providing an accurate value.
For example, if the user has a dedicated channel of 10Gbps for migration
for this specific VM, the user can specify this bandwidth so QEMU can
always do the calculation based on this fact, trusting the user as long as
specified. It may not be the exact bandwidth when switching over (in which
case qemu will push migration data as fast as possible), but much better
than QEMU trying to wildly guess, especially when very wrong.
A new parameter "avail-switchover-bandwidth" is introduced just for this.
So when the user specified this parameter, instead of trusting the
estimated value from QEMU itself (based on the QEMUFile send speed), it
trusts the user more by using this value to decide when to switchover,
assuming that we'll have such bandwidth available then.
Note that specifying this value will not throttle the bandwidth for
switchover yet, so QEMU will always use the full bandwidth possible for
sending switchover data, assuming that should always be the most important
way to use the network at that time.
This can resolve issues like "unconvergence migration" which is caused by
hilarious low "migration bandwidth" detected for whatever reason.

qemu_start_incoming_migration needs to check the number of multifd
channels or postcopy ram channels to configure the backlog parameter (i.e.
the maximum length to which the queue of pending connections for sockfd
may grow) of listen(). So enforce the usage of postcopy-preempt and
multifd as below:
- need to use "-incoming defer" on the destination; and
- set_capability and set_parameter need to be done before migrate_incoming
Otherwise, disable the use of the features and report error messages to
remind users to adjust the commands.

Introduce migration dirty-limit capability, which can

page rate durty live migration.
Introduce migrate_dirty_limit function to help check
if dirty-limit capability enabled during live migration.
Meanwhile, refactor vcpu_dirty_rate_stat_collect
so that period can be configured instead of hardcoded.
dirty-limit capability is kind of like auto-converge
but using dirty limit instead of traditional cpu-throttle
to throttle guest down. To enable this feature, turn on
the dirty-limit capability before live migration using
migrate-set-capabilities, and set the parameters
"x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period", "vcpu-dirty-limit" suitably
to speed up convergence.

Migration downtime estimation is calculated based on bandwidth and
remaining migration data. This assumes that loading of migration data in
the destination takes a negligible amount of time and that downtime
depends only on network speed.
While this may be true for RAM, it's not necessarily true for other
migrated devices. For example, loading the data of a VFIO device in the
destination might require from the device to allocate resources, prepare
internal data structures and so on. These operations can take a
significant amount of time which can increase migration downtime.
This patch adds a new capability "switchover ack" that prevents the
source from stopping the VM and completing the migration until an ACK
is received from the destination that it's OK to do so.
This can be used by migrated devices in various ways to reduce downtime.
For example, a device can send initial precopy metadata to pre-allocate
resources in the destination and use this capability to make sure that
the pre-allocation is completed before the source VM is stopped, so it
will have full effect.
This new capability relies on the return path capability to communicate
from the destination back to the source.
The actual implementation of the capability will be added in the
following patches.
