Commit Message

Takuya Yoshikawa May 4, 2010, 1 p.m. UTC 
This patch introduces is_dirty member for each memory slot.
Using this member, we remove the dirty bitmap scans which are done in
get_dirty_log().

This is important for moving dirty bitmaps to user space because we don't
have any good ways to check bitmaps in user space with low cost and scanning
bitmaps to check memory slot dirtiness will not be acceptable.

When we mark a slot dirty:
 - x86 and ppc: at the timing of mark_page_dirty()
 - ia64: at the timing of kvm_ia64_sync_dirty_log()
ia64 uses a different place to store dirty logs and synchronize it with
the logs of memory slots right before the get_dirty_log(). So we use this
timing to update is_dirty.
