[Bug 1710019] Re: support GICv3 ITS save/restore & migration

[Brian Murray]

Hello dann, or anyone else affected,

Accepted qemu into zesty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/1:2.8+dfsg-
3ubuntu2.8 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-zesty to verification-done-zesty. If it does not fix
the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag
to verification-failed-zesty. In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Virtual machines on GICv3-based ARM systems cannot be saved/restored or migrated.
  This feature was added in QEMU 2.10.

  [Test Case]
  ubuntu at grotrian:~$ sudo virsh save 7936-0 7936-0.sav

  Domain 7936-0 saved to 7936-0.sav

  ubuntu at grotrian:~$ sudo virsh restore 7396-0.sav
  error: Failed to restore domain from 7396-0.sav
  error: operation failed: job: unexpectedly failed

  ubuntu at grotrian:~$ sudo tail -3 /var/log/libvirt/qemu/7936-0.log
  2017-08-10T21:26:38.217427Z qemu-system-aarch64: State blocked by non-migratable device 'arm_gicv3_its'
  2017-08-10T21:26:38.217565Z qemu-system-aarch64: load of migration failed: Invalid argument
  2017-08-10 21:26:38.217+0000: shutting down, reason=failed

  [Regression Risk]
  The kernel changes are restricted to ARM, minimizing the regression risk on other architectures. Other than one minor offset adjustment, all patches are clean cherry-picks from upstream. Tested on Cavium ThunderX and Qualcomm Centriq.
