Amit Shah 531295e63b virtio: console: Don't block entire guest if host doesn't read data
If the host is slow in reading data or doesn't read data at all,
blocking write calls not only blocked the program that called write()
but the entire guest itself.

To overcome this, let's not block till the host signals it has given
back the virtio ring element we passed it.  Instead, send the buffer to
the host and return to userspace.  This operation then becomes similar
to how non-blocking writes work, so let's use the existing code for this
path as well.

This code change also ensures blocking write calls do get blocked if
there's not enough room in the virtio ring as well as they don't return
-EAGAIN to userspace.

Amit Shah 65745422a8 virtio: console: Prevent userspace from submitting NULL buffers
A userspace could submit a buffer with 0 length to be written to the
host.  Prevent such a situation.

This was not needed previously, but recent changes in the way write()
works exposed this condition to trigger a virtqueue event to the host,
causing a NULL buffer to be sent across.

Hans de Goede 6df7aadcd9 virtio: console: Fix poll blocking even though there is data to read
I found this while working on a Linux agent for spice, the symptom I was
seeing was select blocking on the spice vdagent virtio serial port even
though there were messages queued up there.

virtio_console's port_fops_poll checks port->inbuf != NULL to determine
if read won't block. However if an application reads enough bytes from
inbuf through port_fops_read, to empty the current port->inbuf,
port->inbuf will be NULL even though there may be buffers left in the
virtqueue.

This causes poll() to block even though there is data to be read,
this patch fixes this by using will_read_block(port) instead of the
port->inbuf != NULL check.

Julia Lawall 0643e4c6e4 drivers/char: Eliminate use after free
In each case, the first argument to send_control_msg or __send_control_msg,
respectively, has either not been successfully allocated or has been freed
at the point of the call.  In the first case, the first argument, port, is
only used to access the portdev and id fields, in order to call
__send_control_msg.  Thus it seems possible instead to call
__send_control_msg directly.  In the second case, the call to
__send_control_msg is moved up to a place where it seems like the first
argument, portdev, has been initialized sufficiently to make the call to
__send_control_msg meaningful.

This has only been compile tested.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

With support for multiple consoles, just using one {rows,cols} pair in
the config space is not going to suffice.

Store each console's size as part of the console struct.

This changes the behaviour for one case when multiport is not enabled:
when notifier_add_vio() is called, the console size is taken from that
of the last config-space update instead of fetching it afresh from the
config space.

Also add a helper to update the size in the console struct as we'll need
to use the same code to update the size via control messages when
multiport support is enabled.

Also, don't spin till host consumes data for nonblocking ports. For

buffers consumed by the host on the next write call or on the condition
that'll make poll return.

Amit Shah f909f850d6 virtio: console: Use a control message to add ports
Instead of the host and guest independently enumerating ports, switch to
a control message to add ports where the host supplies the port number
so there's no ambiguity or a possibility of a race between the host and
the guest port numbers.

We now no longer need the 'nr_ports' config value. Since no kernel has
been released with the MULTIPORT changes yet, we have a chance to fiddle
with the config space without adding compatibility features.

This is beneficial for management software, which would now be able to
instantiate ports at known locations and avoid problems that arise with
implicit numbering in the host and the guest. This removes the 'guessing
game' part of it, and management software can now actually indicate
which id to spawn a particular port on.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Amit Shah 2030fa496d virtio: console: Add file operations to ports for open/read/write/poll
Allow guest userspace applications to open, read from, write to, poll
the ports via the char dev interface.

When a port gets opened, a notification is sent to the host via a
control message indicating a connection has been established. Similarly,
on closing of the port, a notification is sent indicating disconnection.

Amit Shah fb08bd274d virtio: console: Associate each port with a char device
The char device will be used as an interface by applications on the
guest to communicate with apps on the host.

The devices created are placed in /dev/vportNpn where N is the
virtio-console device number and n is the port number for that device.

One dynamic major device number is allocated for each device and minor
numbers are allocated for the ports contained within that device.

The file operation for the char devs will be added in the following
commits.

Amit Shah b766ceed5b virtio: console: Prepare for writing to userspace buffers
When ports get advertised as char devices, the buffers will come from
userspace. Equip the fill_readbuf function with the ability to write
to userspace buffers.

Amit Shah 17634ba255 virtio: console: Add a new MULTIPORT feature, support for generic ports
This commit adds a new feature, MULTIPORT. If the host supports this
feature as well, the config space has the number of ports defined for
that device. New ports are spawned according to this information.

The config space also has the maximum number of ports that can be
spawned for a particular device. This is useful in initializing the
appropriate number of virtqueues in advance, as ports might be
hot-plugged in later.

Using this feature, generic ports can be created which are not tied to
hvc consoles.

We also open up a private channel between the host and the guest via
which some "control" messages are exchanged for the ports, like whether
the port being spawned is a console port, resizing the console window,
etc.

Next commits will add support for hotplugging and presenting char
devices in /dev/ for bi-directional guest-host communication.

Amit Shah f997f00bf8 virtio: console: Introduce a send_buf function for a common path for sending data to host
Adding support for generic ports that will write to userspace will need
some code changes.

Consolidate the write routine into send_buf() and put_chars() now just
calls into the new function.

In preparation for serving data to userspace (generic ports) as well as
in-kernel users (hvc consoles), separate out the functionality common to
both in a 'fill_readbuf()' function.

Amit Shah cfa6d37925 virtio: console: Separate out console init into a new function
Console ports could be hot-added. Also, with the new multiport support,
a port is identified as a console port only if the host sends a control
message.

Move the console port init into a separate function so it can be invoked
from other places.
