* vmstate: Create optional sectionsJuan Quintela2015-07-071-0/+11
| | | | | | | To make sections optional, we need to do it at the beggining of the code. Signed-off-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com>
* Move copy out of qemu_peek_bufferDr. David Alan Gilbert2015-06-121-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | qemu_peek_buffer currently copies the data it reads into a buffer, however a future patch wants access to the buffer without the copy, hence rework to remove the copy to the layer above.

* migration: Use normal VMStateDescriptions for SubsectionsJuan Quintela2015-06-121-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We create optional sections with this patch. But we already have optional subsections. Instead of having two mechanism that do the same, we can just generalize it. For subsections we just change: - Add a needed function to VMStateDescription - Remove VMStateSubsection (after removal of the needed function it is just a VMStateDescription) - Adjust the whole tree, moving the needed function to the corresponding VMStateDescription Signed-off-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>
* migration: Append JSON description of migration streamAlexander Graf2015-02-051-6/+180
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the annoyances of the current migration format is the fact that it's not self-describing. In fact, it's not properly describing at all. Some code randomly scattered throughout QEMU elaborates roughly how to read and write a stream of bytes. We discussed an idea during KVM Forum 2013 to add a JSON description of the migration protocol itself to the migration stream. This patch adds a section after the VM_END migration end marker that contains description data on what the device sections of the stream are composed of. This approach is backwards compatible with any QEMU version reading the stream, because QEMU just stops reading after the VM_END marker and ignores any data following it. With an additional external program this allows us to decipher the contents of any migration stream and hopefully make migration bugs easier to track down.

* Migration: Add lots of trace eventsDr. David Alan Gilbert2015-02-051-4/+20

* Start migrating migration code into a migration directoryDr. David Alan Gilbert2014-12-161-0/+687
The migration code now occupies a fair chunk of the top level .c files, it seems time to give it it's own directory. I've not touched: arch_init.c - that's mostly RAM migration but has a few random other bits savevm.c - because it's built target specific This is purely a code move; no code has changed. - it fails checkpatch because of old violations, it feels safer to keep this as purely a move and fix those at some mythical future date. The xbzrle and vmstate tests are now only run for softmmu builds since they require files in the migrate/ directory which is only built for softmmu.
