[Qemu-devel] [PATCH COLO-Frame v14 07/40] COLO: Implement colo checkpoint protocol

[zhanghailiang]

We need communications protocol of user-defined to control the checkpoint
process.

The new checkpoint request is started by Primary VM, and the interactive process
like below:
Checkpoint synchronizing points:

                   Primary               Secondary
                                            initial work
'checkpoint-ready'    <-------------------- @

'checkpoint-request'  @ -------------------->
                                            Suspend (Only in hybrid mode)
'checkpoint-reply'    <-------------------- @
                      Suspend&Save state
'vmstate-send'        @ -------------------->
                      Send state            Receive state
'vmstate-received'    <-------------------- @
                      Release packets       Load state
'vmstate-load'        <-------------------- @
                      Resume                Resume (Only in hybrid mode)

                      Start Comparing (Only in hybrid mode)
NOTE:
 1) '@' who sends the message
 2) Every sync-point is synchronized by two sides with only
    one handshake(single direction) for low-latency.
    If more strict synchronization is required, a opposite direction
    sync-point should be added.
 3) Since sync-points are single direction, the remote side may
    go forward a lot when this side just receives the sync-point.
 4) For now, we only support 'periodic' checkpoint, for which
   the Secondary VM is not running, later we will support 'hybrid' mode.

v14:
- Rename 'COLOCommand' to 'COLOMessage'. (Markus's suggestion)
- Add Reviewd-by tag
v13:
- Refactor colo command related helper functions, use 'Error **errp' parameter
  instead of return value to indicate success or failure.
- Fix some other comments from Markus.

v12:
- Rename colo_ctl_put() to colo_put_cmd()
- Rename colo_ctl_get() to colo_get_check_cmd() and drop
  the third parameter
- Rename colo_ctl_get_cmd() to colo_get_cmd()
- Remove useless 'invalid' member for COLOcommand enum.
v11:
- Add missing 'checkpoint-ready' communication in comment.
- Use parameter to return 'value' for colo_ctl_get() (Dave's suggestion)
- Fix trace for colo_ctl_get() to trace command and value both
v10:
- Rename enum COLOCmd to COLOCommand (Eric's suggestion).
- Remove unused 'ram-steal'
