KVM: selftests: Run dirty ring test asynchronously
Previously the dirty ring test was working in synchronous way, because
only with a vmexit (with that it was the ring full event) we'll know
the hardware dirty bits will be flushed to the dirty ring.
With this patch we first introduce a vcpu kick mechanism using SIGUSR1,
which guarantees a vmexit and also therefore the flushing of hardware
dirty bits. Once this is in place, we can keep the vcpu dirty work
asynchronous of the whole collection procedure now. Still, we need
to be very careful that when reaching the ring buffer soft limit
(KVM_EXIT_DIRTY_RING_FULL) we must collect the dirty bits before
continuing the vcpu.
Further increase the dirty ring size to current maximum to make sure
we torture more on the no-ring-full case, which should be the major
scenario when the hypervisors like QEMU would like to use this feature.
