845b6214a309fa58a4405050bf8313e19fde5c91 exec: use memory_region_get_dirty_log_mask to optimize dirty tracking
The memory API can now return the exact set of bitmaps that have to
be tracked. Use it instead of the in_migration variable.
In the next patches, we will also use it to set only DIRTY_MEMORY_VGA
or DIRTY_MEMORY_MIGRATION if necessary. This can make a difference
for dataplane, especially after the dirty bitmap is changed to use
more expensive atomic operations.
Of some interest is the change to stl_phys_notdirty. When migration
was introduced, stl_phys_notdirty was changed to effectively behave
as stl_phys during migration. In fact, if one looks at the function as it
was in the beginning (commit 8df1cd0, physical memory access functions,
2005-01-28), at the time the dirty bitmap was the equivalent of
DIRTY_MEMORY_CODE nowadays; hence, the function simply should not touch
the dirty code bits. This patch changes it to do the intended thing.
