[RFC PATCH 11/13] vfio/migration: add a plugin layer to support out-of-band live migration

[Lei Rao <lei.rao@intel.com>]

Introduce a plugin mechanism under VFIOMigrationOps layer. Each vendor can
provide a dynamic load library that implements the communication driver to
talk with IPU/DPU backend agent for saving and restoring device state during
live migration.

There are three interfaces between QEMU VFIO and a migration plugin:

    - VFIOLMPluginGetVersion:
        This is a function type. Plugin must expose a function symbol named
        "vfio_lm_get_plugin_version" with this function type to return the
        interface version supported by the plugin.
    - VFIOLMPluginGetOps:
        This is a function type. Plugin must expose a function symbol named
        "vfio_lm_get_plugin_ops" with this function type to return a pointer to
        VFIOMigrationPluginOps struct.
    - VFIOMigrationPluginOps:
        This is a struct type containing a set of callbacks that plugin
        exposes. The callbacks will be invoked by QEMU VFIO during live
        migration for saving and restoring device states.

The interfaces are defined in include/hw/vfio/vfio-migration-plugin.h.

When QEMU loads a migration plugin, it will first find and invoke function
symbol named "vfio_lm_get_plugin_version" to check the interface version that
plugin supports. And then find and invoke function symbol named
"vfio_lm_get_plugin_ops" to get vendor device specific VFIOMigrationPluginOps
which will be used for saving/restoring device states during live migration.

+Introduction:
+============
+
+Plugin based VFIO live migration is an extension to VFIO live migration
+mechanism, which is described in ``docs/devel/vfio-migration.rst``. It provides
+an out-of-band migration solution for PCIe functions exposed by Infrastructure
+Processing Units (IPU) and Data Processing Units (DPU).
+
+IPU/DPU usually has an SoC in the backend where a Linux system usually runs
+out-of-band agents to provision and configure the interfaces and communicate
+with a host management stack such as gRPC or JSON-RPC. Plugin based VFIO live
+migration leverage the agents in the Soc to save/restore PCIe device states.
+
+This is a new feature for VFIO live migration and it allows device vendors to
+develop out-of-tree plugins that can be dynamically loaded into a running QEMU
+process during VFIO passthrough devices live migration.
+
+This document describes the interfaces between QEMU VFIO live migration
+framework and the plugins.
+
+Usage:
+======
+
+An example to use VFIO migration plugin is as the following command line:
+
+-device vfio-pci-emu,x-enable-migration=on,x-plugin-path=$plugin_path,x-plugin-arg=$plugin_arg
+
+Where,
+
+- the 'x-enable-migration' controls whether the VFIO device supports live
+  migration (Not supported by default).
+
+- 'x-plugin-path' indicates the path of the plugin on the host.
+
+- 'x-plugin-arg' is a parameter required by QEMU to load and use the out-of-tree
+  plugin, if the plugin communicates with the backend on IPU/DPU by network,
+  this parameter should be <IP: Port>.

+
+Two QEMU command line options (x-plugin-path and x-plugin-arg) are introduced to
+specify the corresponding plugin and its parameters for a passthrough device.
+If they are specified, the plugin will be loaded in vfio_migration_probe(),
+which will check the plugin version and get the pointer to the plugin's
+VFIOMigrationPluginOps. If any failure during the probing, the plugin will not
+be loaded, and this PCIe device will be marked as no supporting of live
+migration.
+
+When live migration happens, VFIO live migration framework will invoke the
+callbacks defined in VFIOMigrationPluginOps to save/restore the device states,
+as described in the following section.
+
+Interface Description between QEMU and Plugins:
+=============================================
+
+The interfaces between QEMU VFIO live migration framework and vendor-specific
+plugin are defined as follows:
+
+    - VFIOLMPluginGetVersion:
+        This is a function type. Plugins must expose a function symbol named
+        ``vfio_lm_get_plugin_version`` with this function type to return the
+        interface version supported by the plugin.
+    - VFIOLMPluginGetOps:
+        This is a function type. Plugins must expose a function symbol named
+        ``vfio_lm_get_plugin_ops`` with this function type to return a pointer
+        to VFIOMigrationPluginOps struct.
+    - VFIOMigrationPluginOps:
+        This is a struct type containing a set of callbacks that plugin
+        exposes. The callbacks will be invoked by QEMU VFIO during live
+        migration for saving and restoring device states.
+
+The interfaces are defined in include/hw/vfio/vfio-migration-plugin.h.
+
+When QEMU loads a migration plugin, it will first find and invoke a function
+symbol named ``vfio_lm_get_plugin_version`` to check the interface version that
+plugin supports. The core code will refuse to load a plugin if it doesn't export
+the symbol or the version doesn't match the one QEMU supports.
+
+Then QEMU finds and invokes function symbol named ``vfio_lm_get_plugin_ops`` to
+get vendor device-specific VFIOMigrationPluginOps which will be used for
+saving/restoring device states.
+
+VFIOMigrationPluginOps is defined as follows:
+
+typedef struct VFIOMigrationPluginOps {
+    void *(*init)(char *devid, char *arg);
+    int (*save)(void *handle, uint8_t *state, uint64_t len);
+    int (*load)(void *handle, uint8_t *state, uint64_t len);
+    int (*update_pending)(void *handle, uint64_t *pending_bytes);
+    int (*set_state)(void *handle, uint32_t value);
+    int (*get_state)(void *handle, uint32_t *value);
+    int (*cleanup)(void *handle);
+} VFIOMigrationPluginOps;
+
+Here:
+    - init(): set the PCIe device BDF and args, and get the plugin handle.
+    - save(): save the VFIO passthrough device states on the source.
+    - load(): restore the VFIO passthrough device states on the destination.
+    - set_state(): set the PCIe device states including SAVING, RUNNING,
+                   STOP, and RESUMING.
+    - get_state(): get the PCIe device states.
+    - update_pending(): get the remaining bytes during data transfer.
+    - cleanup(): unload the plugin and release some resources.
