Since ee7cd8981e15bcb365fc762afe3fc47b8242f630 'virtio: expose added
descriptors immediately.', in virtio balloon virtqueue_get_buf might
now run concurrently with virtqueue_kick. I audited both and this
seems safe in practice but this is not guaranteed by the API.
Additionally, a spurious interrupt might in theory make
virtqueue_get_buf run in parallel with virtqueue_add_buf, which is
racy.
While we might try to protect against spurious callbacks it's
easier to fix the driver: balloon seems to be the only one
(mis)using the API like this, so let's just fix balloon.

When the balloon module is removed, we deflate the balloon, reclaiming
all the pages that were given to the host. However, we don't update the
config values for the new balloon size, resulting in the host showing
outdated balloon values.
The size update is done after each leak and fill operation, only the
module removal case was left out.

As reported by David Gibson, current code handles PAGE_SIZE != 4k
completely wrong which can lead to guest memory corruption errors:
- page_to_balloon_pfn is wrong: e.g. on system with 64K page size
it gives the same pfn value for 16 different pages.
- we also need to convert back to linux pfns when we free.
- for each linux page we need to tell host about multiple balloon
pages, but code only adds one pfn to the array.
This patch fixes all that, tested with a 64k ppc64 kernel.

Although virtio config space fields are usually in guest-native endian,
the spec for the virtio balloon device explicitly states that both fields
in its config space are little-endian.
However, the current virtio_balloon driver does not have a suitable endian
swap for the 'num_pages' field, although it does have one for the 'actual'
field. This patch corrects the bug, adding sparse annotation while we're
at it.

There's no difference in supporting S3 and S4 for virtio devices: the

commit e562966dbaf49e7804097cd991e5d3a8934fc148 added support for S4 to
the balloon driver. The freeze function did nothing to free the pages,
since reclaiming the pages from the host to immediately give them back
(if S4 was successful) seemed wasteful. Also, if S4 wasn't successful,
the guest would have to re-fill the balloon. On restore, the pages were
supposed to be marked freed and the free page counters were incremented
to reflect the balloon was totally deflated.
However, this wasn't done right. The pages that were earlier taken away
from the guest during a balloon inflation operation were just shown as
used pages after a successful restore from S4. Just a fancy way of
leaking lots of memory.
Instead of trying that, just leak the balloon on freeze and fill it on
restore/thaw paths. This works properly now. The optimisation to not
leak can be added later on after a bit of refactoring of the code.

Handling balloon hibernate / restore is tricky. If the balloon was
inflated before going into the hibernation state, upon resume, the host
will not have any memory of that. Any pages that were passed on to the
host earlier would most likely be invalid, and the host will have to
re-balloon to the previous value to get in the pre-hibernate state.
So the only sane thing for the guest to do here is to discard all the
pages that were put in the balloon. When to discard the pages is the
next question.
One solution is to deflate the balloon just before writing the image to
the disk (in the freeze() PM callback). However, asking for pages from
the host just to discard them immediately after seems wasteful of
resources. Hence, it makes sense to do this by just fudging our
counters soon after wakeup. This means we don't deflate the balloon
before sleep, and also don't put unnecessary pressure on the host.
This also helps in the thaw case: if the freeze fails for whatever
reason, the balloon should continue to remain in the inflated state.
This was tested by issuing 'swapoff -a' and trying to go into the S4
state. That fails, and the balloon stays inflated, as expected. Both
the host and the guest are happy.
Finally, in the restore() callback, we empty the list of pages that were
previously given off to the host, add the appropriate number of pages to
the totalram_pages counter, reset the num_pages counter to 0, and
all is fine.
As a last step, delete the vqs on the freeze callback to prepare for
hibernation, and re-create them in the restore and thaw callbacks to
resume normal operation.
The kthread doesn't race with any operations here, since it's frozen
before the freeze() call and is thawed after the thaw() and restore()
callbacks, so we're safe with that.

A virtio driver does virtqueue_add_buf() multiple times before finally
calling virtqueue_kick(); previously we only exposed the added buffers
in the virtqueue_kick() call. This means we don't need a memory
barrier in virtqueue_add_buf(), but it reduces concurrency as the
device (ie. host) can't see the buffers until the kick.
In the unusual (but now possible) case where a driver does add_buf()
and get_buf() without doing a kick, we do need to insert one before
our counter wraps. Otherwise we could wrap num_added, and later on
not realize that we have passed the marker where we should have
kicked.

We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the
real device ones. That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is
used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU).
Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting
d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci. In
particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU
utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to
14%.
By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

virtio pci device reset actually just does an I/O
write, which in PCI is really posted, that is it
can complete on CPU before the device has received it.
Further, interrupts might have been pending on
another CPU, so device callback might get invoked after reset.
This conflicts with how drivers use reset, which is typically:
reset
unregister
a callback running after reset completed can race with
unregister, potentially leading to use after free bugs.
Fix by flushing out the write, and flushing pending interrupts.
This assumes that device is never reset from
its vq/config callbacks, or in parallel with being
added/removed, document this assumption.

Commit 31a3ddda166cda86d2b5111e09ba4bda5239fae6 introduced
a use after free in virtio-pci. The main issue is
that the release method signals removal of the virtio device,
while remove signals removal of the pci device.
For example, on driver removal or hot-unplug,
virtio_pci_release_dev is called before virtio_pci_remove.
We then might get a crash as virtio_pci_remove tries to use the
device freed by virtio_pci_release_dev.
We allocate/free all resources together with the
pci device, so we can leave the release method empty.

virtio has been so far used only in the context of virtualization,
and the virtio Kconfig was sourced directly by the relevant arch
Kconfigs when VIRTUALIZATION was selected.
Now that we start using virtio for inter-processor communications,
we need to source the virtio Kconfig outside of the virtualization
scope too.
Moreover, some architectures might use virtio for both virtualization
and inter-processor communications, so directly sourcing virtio
might yield unexpected results due to conflicting selections.
The simple solution offered by this patch is to always source virtio's
Kconfig in drivers/Kconfig, and remove it from the appropriate arch
Kconfigs. Additionally, a virtio menu entry has been added so virtio
drivers don't show up in the general drivers menu.
This way anyone can use virtio, though it's arguably less accessible
(and neat!) for virtualization users now.
Note: some architectures (mips and sh) seem to have a VIRTUALIZATION
menu merely for sourcing virtio's Kconfig, so that menu is removed too.

The virtio balloon driver has a VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST
feature bit. Whenever the bit is set, the guest kernel must
always tell the host before we free pages back to the allocator.
Without this feature, we might free a page (and have another
user touch it) while the hypervisor is unprepared for it.
But, if the bit is _not_ set, we are under no obligation to
reverse the order; we're under no obligation to do _anything_.
As of now, qemu-kvm defines the bit, but doesn't set it.
This patch makes the "tell host first" logic the only case. This
should make everybody happy, and reduce the amount of untested or
untestable code in the kernel.
This _also_ means that we don't have to preserve a pfn list
after the pages are freed, which should let us get rid of some
temporary storage (vb->pfns) eventually.

In the case where a virtio-console port is in use (opened by a program)
and a virtio-console device is removed, the port is kept around but all
the virtio-related state is assumed to be gone.
When the port is finally released (close() called), we call
device_destroy() on the port's device. This results in the parent
device's structures to be freed as well. This includes the PCI regions
for the virtio-console PCI device.
Once this is done, however, virtio_pci_release_dev() kicks in, as the
last ref to the virtio device is now gone, and attempts to do
pci_iounmap(pci_dev, vp_dev->ioaddr);
pci_release_regions(pci_dev);
pci_disable_device(pci_dev);
which results in a double-free warning.
Move the code that releases regions, etc., to the virtio_pci_remove()
function, and all that's now left in release_dev is the final freeing of
the vp_dev.
