Message-ID <[email protected]>
Hello,
This is Non-RFC patch series for guest_memfd preservation. After
having multiple discussion across hypervisor liveupdate meeting,
guest_memfd bi-weekly meeting, the design for the basic support of
guest_memfd preservation is final. This series is going to include
guest_memfd which are fully shared and does not support private mem
and backed by PAGE_SIZE pages.

Steps to test:
1. Compile Kernel with CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE_GUEST_MEMFD=y
2. boot kernel with command line: kho=on liveupdate=on
3. run the following kselftest
	$ .selftests/kvm/guest_memfd_preservation_test --stage 1
	$ <kexec> --reuse-cmdline
	$ .selftests/kvm/guest_memfd_preservation_test --stage 2

NOTE: Assert the following:
	$ ls /dev/liveupdate
	$ ls /dev/kvm
	$ dmesg | grep liveupdate # (should have kvm_vm_luo &&
		# guest_memfd_luo handler registered)

The changes are rebased on:
	kvm/next + liveupdate/next (merge) + [3] + [4] + [5]
	Where,
	[3]: luo: conversion of serialized_data to KHOSER_PTR
	[4]: luo: APIs to retrieve file internally from session
	[5]: selftests: liveupdate sefltests library
Here is the github repo:
	https://github.com/tar-unix/linux/tree/gmem-pre

V3 <- RFC V2 [2]
1. Finalize the design
2. resolve sashiko reported bugs
3. Use of KHOSER_PTR instead of raw serialized_data as per [3]

RFC V2 [2] <- RFC V1 [1]
1. Removed mem_attr_array as it is not needed for fully-shared
2. Removed pre-faulted condition
3. Added vm_type preservation for ARM64.
4. Removed liveupdate_get_file_incoming api patch as it is sent
   separately [4] by Samiullah.
