[PATCH v2 0/2] ppc: Fix migration issue with quiesced state

[Fabiano Rosas]

A while back, Fabian reported two issues with migration on ppc64le,
one of which was already fixed. There remains this one from the
previous series:

pseries migration causes a guest hang after migration due to a new
variable used to track the stopped state of vcpus, which is not
migrated. Fix is to migrate the new variable. To avoid breaking
backward migration, a compat property is added. For forward migration,
a heuritics based on the known QEMU code is used.

Thanks

[PATCH v2 1/2] target/ppc: Fix env->quiesced migration

[Fabiano Rosas]

The commit referenced (from QEMU 10.0) has changed the way the pseries
machine marks a cpu as quiesced. Previously, the cpu->halted value
from QEMU common cpu code was (incorrectly) used. With the fix, the
env->quiesced variable starts being used, which improves on the
original situation, but also causes a side effect after migration:

The env->quiesced is set at reset and never migrated, which causes the
destination QEMU to stop delivering interrupts and hang the machine.

To fix the issue from this point on, start migrating the env->quiesced
value.

For QEMU versions < 10.0, sending the new element on the stream would
cause migration to be aborted, so add the appropriate compatibility
property to omit the new subsection.

Independently of this patch, all migrations from QEMU versions < 10.0
would result in a hang since the older QEMU never migrates
env->quiesced. This is bad because it leaves machines already running
on the old QEMU without a migration path into newer versions.

As a workaround, use a few heuristics to infer the new value of
env->quiesced based on cpu->halted, LPCR and PSSCR bits that are
usually set/cleared along with quiesced.

Note that this was tested with -cpu power9 and -machine ic-mode=xive
due to another bug affecting migration of XICS guests. Tested both
forward and backward migration and savevm/loadvm from 9.2 and 10.0.

Also tested loadvm of a savevm image that contains a mix of cpus both
halted and not halted.

Thanks Fabiano for addressing Thomas's review comments.

Thomas,
Do you have any further review comments on this patchset or may provide 
an ack?

Looks good to me though.

Does this header inclusion need to be removed ?

Well spotted, that's a leftover from a previous implementation.

[PATCH v2 2/2] tests/functional: Add a OS level migration test for pseries

[Fabiano Rosas]

There's currently no OS level test for ppc64le. Add one such test by
reusing the boot level tests that are already present.

The test boots the source machine, waits for it to reach a mid-boot
message, migrates and checks that the destination has reached the
final boot message (VFS error due to no disk).

It's slightly better to do set_machine() first, before the ASSET_* lines, so 
that the test is skipped without fetching the assets in case the pseries 
machine is not available.

With that nit fixed:
