Sufficient L2 cache can noticeably improve the performance when using
large images with frequent I/O.
Previously, unless 'cache-size' was specified and was large enough, the
L2 cache was set to a certain size without taking the virtual image size
into account.
Now, the L2 cache assignment is aware of the virtual size of the image,
and will cover the entire image, unless the cache size needed for that is
larger than a certain maximum. This maximum is set to 1 MB by default
(enough to cover an 8 GB image with the default cluster size) but can
be increased or decreased using the 'l2-cache-size' option. This option
was previously documented as the *maximum* L2 cache size, and this patch
makes it behave as such, instead of as a constant size. Also, the
existing option 'cache-size' can limit the sum of both L2 and refcount
caches, as previously.

Adding a lookup table for the powers of two, with the appropriate size
prefixes. This is needed when a size has to be stringified, in which
case something like '(1 * KiB)' would become a literal '(1 * (1L << 10))'
string. Powers of two are used very often for sizes, so such a table
will also make it easier and more intuitive to write them.
This table is generatred using the following AWK script:
BEGIN {
suffix="KMGTPE";
for(i=10; i<64; i++) {
val=2**i;
s=substr(suffix, int(i/10), 1);
n=2**(i%10);
pad=21-int(log(n)/log(10));
printf("#define S_%d%siB %*d\n", n, s, pad, val);
}

The bdrv_reopen_prepare() function checks all options passed to each
BlockDriverState (in the reopen_state->options QDict) and makes all
necessary preparations to apply the option changes requested by the
user.
Options are removed from the QDict as they are processed, so at the
end of bdrv_reopen_prepare() only the options that can't be changed
are left. Then a loop goes over all remaining options and verifies
that the old and new values are identical, returning an error if
they're not.
The problem is that at the moment there are options that are removed
from the QDict although they can't be changed. The consequence of this
is any modification to any of those options is silently ignored:
(qemu) qemu-io virtio0 "reopen -o discard=on"
This happens when all options from bdrv_runtime_opts are removed
from the QDict but then only a few of them are processed. Since
it's especially important that "node-name" and "driver" are not
changed, the code puts them back into the QDict so they are checked
at the end of the function. Instead of putting only those two options
back into the QDict, this patch puts all unprocessed options using
qemu_opts_to_qdict().
update_flags_from_options() also needs to be modified to prevent
BDRV_OPT_CACHE_NO_FLUSH, BDRV_OPT_CACHE_DIRECT and BDRV_OPT_READ_ONLY
from going back to the QDict.

In the previous patches we removed all child references from
bs->{options,explicit_options} because keeping them is useless and
wrong.
Because of this, any attempt to reopen a BlockDriverState using a
child reference as one of its options would result in a failure,
because bdrv_reopen_prepare() would detect that there's a new option
(the child reference) that wasn't present in bs->options.
But passing child references on reopen can be useful. It's a way to
specify a BDS's child without having to pass recursively all of the
child's options, and if the reference points to a different BDS then
this can allow us to replace the child.
However, replacing the child is something that needs to be implemented
case by case and only when it makes sense. For now, this patch allows
passing a child reference as long as it points to the current child of
the BlockDriverState.
It's also important to remember that, as a consequence of the
previous patches, this child reference will be removed from
bs->{options,explicit_options} after the reopening has been completed.

Block drivers allow opening their children using a reference to an

them once everything is open.
What is more important, these values can become wrong if the children
change:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 hd0.qcow2 10M
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 hd1.qcow2 10M

-drive file=hd2.qcow2,node-name=hd2,backing=hd1
After this hd2 has hd1 as its backing file. Now let's remove it using
block_stream:
(qemu) block_stream hd2 0 hd0.qcow2
Now hd0 is the backing file of hd2, but hd2's options QDicts still

Taking the address of a field in a packed struct is a bad idea, because
it might not be actually aligned enough for that pointer type (and
thus cause a crash on dereference on some host architectures). Newer

Add judgement in compress_threads_save_cleanup() to check whether the
static CompressParam *comp_param has been allocated. If not, just
return; or else segmentation fault will occur when using the NULL
comp_param's parameters. One test case can reproduce this is: set
the compression on and migrate to a wrong nonexistent host IP address.
Our current code does not judge before handling comp_param[idx]'s quit
and cond that whether they have been initialized. If not initialized,
"qemu_mutex_lock_impl: Assertion `mutex->initialized' failed." will
occur. Fix this by squashing the terminate_compression_threads() into
compress_threads_save_cleanup() and employing the existing judgement
condition. One test case can reproduce this error is: set the
compression on and fail to fully setup the default eight compression
thread in compress_threads_save_setup().

The TCG backend uses LOWREGMASK to get the low 3 bits of register numbers.
This was defined as no-op for 32-bit x86, with the assumption that we have
eight registers anyway. This assumption is not true once we have xmm regs.
Since LOWREGMASK was a no-op, xmm register indidices were wrong in opcodes
and have overflown into other opcode fields, wreaking havoc.
To trigger these problems, you can try running the "movi d8, #0x0" AArch64
instruction on 32-bit x86. "vpxor %xmm0, %xmm0, %xmm0" should be generated,
but instead TCG generated "vpxor %xmm0, %xmm0, %xmm2".

Precomputing the hash values allows us to perform more frequent
accesses to the hash table, thereby reaching higher throughputs.
We keep the old behaviour by default, since (1) we might confuse
users if they measured a speedup without changing anything in
the QHT implementation, and (2) benchmarking the hash function
"on line" is also valuable.

Perform first the tests that exercise code paths that are
easier to hit at small table sizes, and then resize the table
to speed up subsequent tests. If this resize is not too large,
we can make the test faster with no code coverage loss.
- With gcov enabled:
Before: 20.568s, 90.28% qht.c coverage
After: 5.168s, 93.06% qht.c coverage
The coverage increase is entirely due to calling qht_resize,
which we weren't calling before. Note that the code paths
that remain to be tested are either error handling or
can only occur when several threads are accessing the
hash table concurrently (e.g. seqlock retry, trylock fail).
- Without gcov:

into Makefile. This allows us to 1) support cross-compilation easily,
and 2) avoid creating a script file for every architecture.
Note that, in the new design, the cross compiler prefix can be specified by
setting the CROSS_PREFIX in "make" command. Also to allow gcc pre-processor
to include the C-style file correctly, it also renames the
x86-a-b-bootblock.s file extension from .s to .S.

flush_compressed_data() needs to wait all compression threads to
finish their work, after that all threads are free until the
migration feeds new request to them, reducing its call can improve
the throughput and use CPU resource more effectively
We do not need to flush all threads at the end of iteration, the
data can be kept locally until the memory block is changed or
memory migration starts over in that case we will meet a dirtied
page which may still exists in compression threads's ring

This patch adds a small hint for the failure case of the load snapshot

configuration has changed between the save and load processes.

As Peter pointed out:
| - xbzrle_counters.cache_miss is done in save_xbzrle_page(), so it's
| per-guest-page granularity
|
| - RAMState.iterations is done for each ram_find_and_save_block(), so
| it's per-host-page granularity
|
| An example is that when we migrate a 2M huge page in the guest, we
| will only increase the RAMState.iterations by 1 (since
| ram_find_and_save_block() will be called once), but we might increase
| xbzrle_counters.cache_miss for 2M/4K=512 times (we'll call
| save_xbzrle_page() that many times) if all the pages got cache miss.
| Then IMHO the cache miss rate will be 512/1=51200% (while it should
| actually be just 100% cache miss).
And he also suggested as xbzrle_counters.cache_miss_rate is the only
user of rs->iterations we can adapt it to count target guest page
numbers
After that, rename 'iterations' to 'target_page_count' to better reflect
its meaning
