[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] Deterministic replay extensions

[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

This set of patches is related to the reverse execution and deterministic 
replay of qemu execution. It includes recording and replaying of serial devices
and block devices operations.

With these patches one can record and deterministically replay behavior
of the system with connected disk drives and serial communication ports
(e.g., telnet terminal).

Patches for deterministic replay of the block devices intercept calls of
bdrv coroutine functions at the top of block drivers stack.
To record and replay block operations the drive must be configured
as following:
 -drive file=disk.qcow,if=none,id=img-direct
 -drive driver=blkreplay,if=none,image=img-direct,id=img-blkreplay
 -device ide-hd,drive=img-blkreplay

blkreplay driver should be inserted between disk image and virtual driver
controller. Therefore all disk requests may be recorded and replayed.

v3 changes:
 - introduced bdrv_flush callback for block drivers
 - introduced block driver for recording block operations (as suggested by Kevin Wolf)
 - added documentation for block record/replay

v2 changes:
 - removed obsolete call of qemu_clock_warp
 - fixed record/replay of aio_cancel
 - simplified call sequence for blk_aio_ functions in non-replay mode (as suggested by Kevin Wolf)

Pavel Dovgalyuk (5):
      replay: character devices
      icount: remove obsolete warp call
      replay: introduce new checkpoint for icount warp
      block: add flush callback
      replay: introduce block devices record/replay

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/5] replay: character devices

[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

This patch implements record and replay of character devices.
It records chardevs communication in replay mode. Recorded information
include data read from backend and counter of bytes written
from frontend to backend to preserve frontend internal state.
If character device was configured through the command line in record mode,
then in replay mode it should be also added to command line. Backend of
the character device could be changed in replay mode.
Replaying of devices that perform ioctl and get_msgfd operations is not
supported.
gdbstub which also acts as a backend is not recorded to allow controlling
the replaying through gdb.

[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

qemu_clock_warp call in qemu_tcg_wait_io_event function is not needed
anymore, because it is called in every iteration of main_loop_wait.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 3/5] replay: introduce new checkpoint for icount warp

[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

qemu_clock_warp function is called to update virtual clock when CPU
is sleeping. This function includes replay checkpoint to make execution
deterministic in icount mode.
Record/replay module flushes async event queue at checkpoints.
Some of the events (e.g., block devices operations) include interaction
with hardware. E.g., APIC polled by block devices sets one of IRQ flags.
Flag to be set depends on currently executed thread (CPU or iothread).
Therefore in replay mode we have to process the checkpoints in the same thread
as they were recorded.
qemu_clock_warp function (and its checkpoint) may be called from different
thread. This patch introduces new checkpoint which distinguished warp
checkpoint calls from different threads.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 4/5] block: add flush callback

[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

This patch adds callback for flush request. This callback is responsible
for flushing whole block devices stack. bdrv_flush function does not
proceed to underlying devices. It should be performed by this callback
function, if needed.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 5/5] replay: introduce block devices record/replay

[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

This patch introduces block driver that implement recording
and replaying of block devices' operations.
All block completion operations are added to the queue.
Queue is flushed at checkpoints and information about processed requests
is recorded to the log. In replay phase the queue is matched with
events read from the log. Therefore block devices requests are processed
deterministically.

Trailing whitespace.

Also, while you update the formatting, how about an empty line before
the comment?

Otherwise, the patch looks good.

This is unnecessary because in error cases, bdrv_open_child() returns
NULL. On the other hand, bdrv_unref_child() accepts a NULL child and
just doesn't do anything then, so it's harmless.

Maybe add a comment here that explains why the BH exists (forcing the
coroutine into its I/O thread, if I understand correctly).

g_malloc0() zeroes all fields and then you immediately overwrite them,
so this is useless work. If you just want to be protected when adding
new fields, you could consider this instead:

Request *req = g_new(Request, 1);
*req = (Request) {
    .co = co,
    .bh = aio_bh_new(bdrv_get_aio_context(bs), blkreplay_bh_cb, req),
};

It's just a suggestion, though, feel free to change it or leave it.

Error handling is broken here. You need to forward the return value of
bdrv_co_readv() to the caller.

I think we need two different kinds of "warp" behavior, one to start the
warp timer (from the main loop and when a timer is set) and one to end it
(from the CPUs).

Then the need for two checkpoints is much clearer, though I suggestnaming
them without a reference to TCG; something like CHECKPOINT_CLOCK_WARP_START
and CHECKPOINT_CLOCK_WARP_ACCOUNT for example.

The start would be where you call qemu_clock_warp(QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL, false):

    if (!use_icount) {
        return;
    }
    if (!runstate_is_running()) {
        return;
    }
    if (!replay_checkpoint(CHECKPOINT_CLOCK_WARP_START)) {
        return;
    }
    /* I think calling icount_warp_rt here is unnecessary.  */
    if (!all_cpu_threads_idle()) {
        return;
    }
    if (qtest_enabled()) {
        /* When testing, qtest commands advance icount.  */
        return;
    }

    /* We want to use the earliest deadline from ALL vm_clocks */
    clock = qemu_clock_get_ns(QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL_RT);
    deadline = qemu_clock_deadline_ns_all(QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL);
    ...

The end or account function, instead, would be called from tcg_exec_all()
and also from icount_dummy_timer() (this is what makes the call to
icount_warp_rt unnecessary above):

    if (!use_icount || !icount_isleep) {
        return;
    }
    if (!runstate_is_running()) {
        return;
    }
    if (!replay_checkpoint(CHECKPOINT_CLOCK_WARP_END)) {
        return;
    }

    timer_del(icount_warp_timer);
    /*
     * If the CPUs have been sleeping, advance QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL timer now.
     * This ensures that the deadline for the timer is computed correctly
     * below.
     * This also makes sure that the insn counter is synchronized before
     * the CPU starts running, in case the CPU is woken by an event other
     * than the earliest QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL timer.
     */
    // ...include icount_warp_rt function here...

qemu_clock_warp would only be called from qemu-timer.c, and it would be
simply be

    if (type == QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL) {
        qemu_start_warp_timer();
    }

Separating the two boundaries of the warp this way would make the code
much easier to understand, and would also make the need for a new
checkpoint more obvious.

Right, but this may be useful in case of future changes (if something else
will be initialized here).

Why icount_warp_rt is unnecessary? There is no code to proceed the virtual clock.
Then qemu_start_warp_timer will forever setup the timer without any progress.

If icount_warp_rt is called from icount_dummy_timer(), the virtual clock
will be updated as soon as the VIRTUAL_RT clock reaches the deadline.
It's a much more reasonable place to call icount_warp_rt from (if it
works...).
