2015-07-24memory: count number of active VGA logging clientsPaolo Bonzini
For a board that has multiple framebuffer devices, both of them might want to use DIRTY_MEMORY_VGA on the same memory region. The lack of reference counting in memory_region_set_log makes this very awkward to implement. Suggested-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2015-07-16memory: fix refcount leak in memory_region_presentPaolo Bonzini
memory_region_present() leaks a reference to a MemoryRegion in the case "mr == container". While fixing it, avoid reference counting altogether for memory_region_present(), by using RCU only. The return value could in principle be already invalid immediately after memory_region_present returns, but presumably the caller knows that and it's using memory_region_present to probe for devices that are unpluggable, or something like that. The RCU critical section is needed anyway, because it protects as->current_map. Reported-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

As memory_region_read/write_accessor will now be run also without BQL held, we need to move coalesced MMIO flushing earlier in the dispatch process.

2015-07-01memory: Add global-locking property to memory regionsJan Kiszka
This introduces the memory region property "global_locking". It is true by default. By setting it to false, a device model can request BQL-free dispatching of region accesses to its r/w handlers.

2015-06-05memory: use mr->ram_addr in "is this RAM?" assertionsPaolo Bonzini
mr->terminates alone doesn't guarantee that we are looking at a RAM region. mr->ram_addr also has to be checked, in order to distinguish RAM and I/O regions. So, do the following: 1) add a new define RAM_ADDR_INVALID, and test it in the assertions instead of mr->terminates 2) IOMMU regions were not setting mr->ram_addr to a bogus value, initialize it in the instance_init function so that the new assertions would fire for IOMMU regions as well.

2015-06-05memory: replace cpu_physical_memory_reset_dirty() with test-and-clearStefan Hajnoczi
The cpu_physical_memory_reset_dirty() function is sometimes used together with cpu_physical_memory_get_dirty(). This is not atomic since two separate accesses to the dirty memory bitmap are made.

2015-06-05memory: include DIRTY_MEMORY_MIGRATION in the dirty log maskPaolo Bonzini
The separate handling of DIRTY_MEMORY_MIGRATION, which does not call log_start/log_stop callbacks when it changes in a region's dirty logging mask, has caused several bugs. One recent example is commit 4cc856f (kvm-all: Sync dirty-bitmap from kvm before kvm destroy the corresponding dirty_bitmap, 2015-04-02). Another performance problem is that KVM keeps tracking dirty pages after a failed live migration, which causes bad performance due to disallowing huge page mapping. This patch removes the root cause of the problem by reporting DIRTY_MEMORY_MIGRATION changes via log_start and log_stop. Note that we now have to rebuild the FlatView when global dirty logging is enabled or disabled; this ensures that log_start and log_stop callbacks are invoked. This will also be used to make the setting of bitmaps conditional. In general, this patch lets users of the memory API ignore the global state of dirty logging if they handle dirty logging generically per region.

2015-06-05memory: track DIRTY_MEMORY_CODE in mr->dirty_log_maskPaolo Bonzini

2015-06-05memory: prepare for multiple bits in the dirty log maskPaolo Bonzini
When the dirty log mask will also cover other bits than DIRTY_MEMORY_VGA, some listeners may be interested in the overall zero/non-zero value of the dirty log mask; others may be interested in the value of single bits. For this reason, always call log_start/log_stop if bits have respectively appeared or disappeared, and pass the old and new values of the dirty log mask so that listeners can distinguish the kinds of change. For example, KVM checks if dirty logging used to be completely disabled (in log_start) or is now completely disabled (in log_stop). On the other hand, Xen has to check manually if DIRTY_MEMORY_VGA changed, since that is the only bit it cares about.

2015-06-05memory: differentiate memory_region_is_logging and ↵Paolo Bonzini
memory_region_get_dirty_log_mask For now memory regions only track DIRTY_MEMORY_VGA individually, but this will change soon. To support this, split memory_region_is_logging in two functions: one that returns a given bit from dirty_log_mask, and one that returns the entire mask. memory_region_is_logging gets an extra parameter so that the compiler flags misuse. While VGA-specific users (including the Xen listener!) will want to keep checking that bit, KVM and vhost check for "any bit except migration" (because migration is handled via the global start/stop listener callbacks).

Define an API so that devices can register MemoryRegionOps whose read and write callback functions are passed an arbitrary pointer to some transaction attributes and can return a success-or-failure status code. This will allow us to model devices which: * behave differently for ARM Secure/NonSecure memory accesses * behave differently for privileged/unprivileged accesses * may return a transaction failure (causing a guest exception) for erroneous accesses This patch defines the new API and plumbs the attributes parameter through to the memory.c public level functions io_mem_read() and io_mem_write(), where it is currently dummied out. The success/failure response indication is also propagated out to io_mem_read() and io_mem_write(), which retain the old-style boolean true-for-error return.

2015-01-08memory: API to allocate resizeable RAM MRMichael S. Tsirkin
Add API to allocate resizeable RAM MR. This looks just like regular RAM generally, but has a special property that only a portion of it (used_length) is actually used, and migrated. This used_length size can change across reboots. Follow up patches will change used_length for such blocks at migration, making it easier to extend devices using such RAM (notably ACPI, but in the future thinkably other ROMs) without breaking migration compatibility or wasting ROM (guest) memory. Device is notified on resize, so it can adjust if necessary. Note: nothing prevents making all RAM resizeable in this way. However, reviewers felt that only enabling this selectively will make some class of errors easier to detect. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
