v7 -> v8:
    add atomic_read for dirtyrate status
    add error_report if set dirtyrate state failed
    change returns of save_ramblock_hash and record_ramblock_hash_info to bool
    alloc ramblock dirtyinfo array at one time
    add review-by for patches

v6 -> v7:
    fix minior comments and coding style by review
    add review-by for patches

v5 -> v6:
    fix coding style according to review
    use TARGET_PAGE_SIZE and TARGET_PAGE_BITS instead of self-defined macros
    return start-time and calc-time by qmp command

v4 -> v5:
    fix git apply failed due to meson-build
    add review-by for patches in v3

v3 -> v4:
    use crc32 to get hash result instead of md5
    add DirtyRateStatus to denote calculation status
    add some trace_calls to make it easier to debug
    fix some comments accroding to review

v2 -> v3:
    fix size_t compile warning
    fix codestyle checked by checkpatch.pl

v1 -> v2:
    use g_rand_new() to generate rand_buf
    move RAMBLOCK_FOREACH_MIGRATABLE into migration/ram.h
    add skip_sample_ramblock to filter sampled ramblock
    fix multi-numa vm coredump when query dirtyrate
    rename qapi interface and rename some structures and functions
    succeed to compile by appling each patch
    add test for migrating vm

Sometimes it is neccessary to evaluate dirty page rate before migration.
Users could decide whether to proceed migration based on the evaluation
in case of vm performance loss due to heavy workload.
Unlikey simulating dirtylog sync which could do harm on runnning vm,
we provide a sample-hash method to compare hash results for samping page.
In this way, it would have hardly no impact on vm performance.

Evaluate the dirtypage rate both on running and migration vm.
The VM specifications for migration are as follows:
- VM use 4-K page;
- the number of VCPU is 32;
- the total memory is 32Gigabit;
- use 'mempress' tool to pressurize VM(mempress 4096 1024);
- migration bandwidth is 1GB/s

Test dirtyrate by qmp command like this:
1.  virsh qemu-monitor-command [vmname] '{"execute":"calc-dirty-rate", "arguments": {"calc-time": [sleep-time]}}'; 
2.  sleep specific time which is a bit larger than sleep-time
3.  virsh qemu-monitor-command [vmname] '{"execute":"query-dirty-rate"}'

The qmp command returns like this:
{"return":{"status":"measured","dirty-rate":374,"start-time":3718293,"calc-time":1},"id":"libvirt-15"}

Further test dirtyrate by libvirt api like this:
virsh getdirtyrate [vmname] [sleep-time]

Does this 'block_index' mean the success allocated count of 'block_dinfo'.
Then I think 'block_count' is more meaningful

Also 'block_count'?

It seems the value of 'DirtyRateStat.dirty_rate'  is 0 if this error occurs ?

Maybe we should set the DirtyRateStat.dirty_rate to -1 in
reset_dirtyrate_stat function.
As you say:

+#          If this field return '-1', it means querying is not
+#          start or not complete.

The '0' may confuse the people there is no dirty page.

Thanks,
Li Qiang
