The new nomigrate option can be set to non-zero in vm.cfg
(for both hvm and pvm) to disallow a guest from being
migrated or restored. (Save is still allowed for the purpose
of checkpointing.) The option persists into a save file
and is also communicated into the hypervisor, the latter
for the purposes of a to-be-added hypercall for communicating
to guests that migration is disallowed (which will be
used initially for userland TSC-related sensing, but may
find other uses).

This patch try to allocate 2M pages on target side based on analysis
of pfn sequence sent from source side for HVM migration.
The algorithm is: If pseudo-phys page is not yet populated in target
domain, AND it is first page of a 2MB extent, AND no other pages in
that extent are yet populated, AND the next pages in the save-image
stream populate that extent in order, THEN allocate a super page. If
the next 511 pages (to make the 2MB extent) are split across a batch
boundary, we have to optimistically allocate a super page in this
batch, and then break it into several 4K pages in the next batch,
which is speculative.
This patch is also friendly to PV guest migration.

using tmem may in some cases lose data when doing save/restore

domains to share pools; this provides the foundation to

Since the shared info layout is fixed, guests are required to use
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info prior to booting any vCPU beyond the
traditional limit of 32.
MAX_VIRT_CPUS, being an implemetation detail of the hypervisor, is no
longer being exposed in the public headers.
The tools changes are clearly incomplete (and done only so things
would
build again), and the current state of the tools (using scalar
variables all over the place to represent vCPU bitmaps) very likely
doesn't permit booting DomU-s with more than the traditional number of
vCPU-s. Testing of the extended functionality was done with Dom0 (96
vCPU-s, as well as 128 vCPU-s out of which the kernel elected - by way
of a simple kernel side patch - to use only some, resulting in a
sparse
bitmap).
ia64 changes only to make things build, and build-tested only (and the
tools part only as far as the build would go without encountering
unrelated problems in the blktap code).

This patch support exchange a page for a suspended PV guest from user
space.
The basic idea to offline a page is:
1) mark a page offline pending
2) If the page is owned by a HVM domain, user have to live migrate it.
In future, with stub-domain support, we can also exchange the page
without migration.
3) If the page is owned by a PV domain, we will try to exchange the
offline pending page to a new one and free the old page.
This patch achieves item 3.
The method to exchange the offline pending page for PV domain is:
1) Suspend the guest.
2) If the page is being granted out, return with offline pending.
3) Get a copy for the content
4) Scan all page table page to see if any reference to the offending
page, if yes, make the entry to be non-present to reduce the reference
count.
5) After update all page tables, user space tools will try to exchange
the old page. If the new mfn has no reference anymore (i.e.
count_info & count_mask =3D 1), the exchange will allocate a new page,
update the m2p and return success, otherwise it will return fail.
6) If step 5 is success, user space tools will update the content of
the new page change the p2m table, and change all entries scaned in
step 4 to point to new entry.
if step failed, it will try to undo step 4 to revert page table.
7) Resume the guest.

Tmem, when called from a tmem-capable (paravirtualized) guest, makes
use of otherwise unutilized ("fallow") memory to create and manage
pools of pages that can be accessed from the guest either as
"ephemeral" pages or as "persistent" pages. In either case, the pages
are not directly addressible by the guest, only copied to and fro via
the tmem interface. Ephemeral pages are a nice place for a guest to
put recently evicted clean pages that it might need again; these pages
can be reclaimed synchronously by Xen for other guests or other uses.
Persistent pages are a nice place for a guest to put "swap" pages to
avoid sending them to disk. These pages retain data as long as the
guest lives, but count against the guest memory allocation.
Tmem pages may optionally be compressed and, in certain cases, can be
shared between guests. Tmem also handles concurrency nicely and
provides limited QoS settings to combat malicious DoS attempts.
Save/restore and live migration support is not yet provided.
Tmem is primarily targeted for an x86 64-bit hypervisor. On a 32-bit
x86 hypervisor, it has limited functionality and testing due to
limitations of the xen heap. Nearly all of tmem is
architecture-independent; three routines remain to be ported to ia64
and it should work on that architecture too. It is also structured to
be portable to non-Xen environments.
Tmem defaults off (for now) and must be enabled with a "tmem" xen boot
option (and does nothing unless a tmem-capable guest is running). The
"tmem_compress" boot option enables compression which takes about 10x
more CPU but approximately doubles the number of pages that can be
stored.
Tmem can be controlled via several "xm" commands and many interesting
tmem statistics can be obtained. A README and internal specification
will follow, but lots of useful prose about tmem, as well as Linux
patches, can be found at http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem .

This patch adds the option "superpages" to the domain configuration
file. If it is set, the domain is populated using 2M pages.
This code does not support fallback to small pages. If the domain can
not be created with 2M pages, the create will fail.
The patch also includes support for saving and restoring domains with
the superpage flag set. However, if a domain has freed small pages
within its physical page array and then extended the array, the
restore will fill in those freed pages. It will then attempt to
allocate more than its memory limit and will fail. This is
significant because apparently Linux does this during boot, thus a
freshly booted Linux image can not be saved and restored successfully.
