COLO: Introduce checkpointing protocol
We need communications protocol of user-defined to control
the checkpointing process.
The new checkpointing request is started by Primary VM,
and the interactive process like below:
Checkpoint synchronizing points:
Primary Secondary
initial work
'checkpoint-ready' <-------------------- @
'checkpoint-request' @ -------------------->
Suspend (Only in hybrid mode)
'checkpoint-reply' <-------------------- @
Suspend&Save state
'vmstate-send' @ -------------------->
Send state Receive state
'vmstate-received' <-------------------- @
Release packets Load state
'vmstate-load' <-------------------- @
Resume Resume (Only in hybrid mode)
Start Comparing (Only in hybrid mode)
NOTE:
1) '@' who sends the message
2) Every sync-point is synchronized by two sides with only
one handshake(single direction) for low-latency.
If more strict synchronization is required, a opposite direction
sync-point should be added.
3) Since sync-points are single direction, the remote side may
go forward a lot when this side just receives the sync-point.
4) For now, we only support 'periodic' checkpoint, for which
the Secondary VM is not running, later we will support 'hybrid' mode.
