As well known, hvc backend can register its opertions to hvc backend.
the operations contain put_chars(), get_chars() and so on.
Some hvc backend may do dma in its operations. eg, put_chars() of
virtio-console. But in the code of hvc framework, it may pass DMA
incapable memory to put_chars() under a specific configuration, which
is explained in commit c4baad5029(virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack):
1, c[] is on stack,
hvc_console_print():
char c[N_OUTBUF] __ALIGNED__;
cons_ops[index]->put_chars(vtermnos[index], c, i);
2, ch is on stack,
static void hvc_poll_put_char(,,char ch)
{
struct tty_struct *tty = driver->ttys[0];
struct hvc_struct *hp = tty->driver_data;
int n;
do {
n = hp->ops->put_chars(hp->vtermno, &ch, 1);
} while (n <= 0);
}
Commit c4baad5029 is just the fix to avoid DMA from stack memory, which
is passed to virtio-console by hvc framework in above code. But I think
the fix is aggressive, it directly uses kmemdup() to alloc new buffer
from kmalloc area and do memcpy no matter the memory is in kmalloc area
or not. But most importantly, it should better be fixed in the hvc
framework, by changing it to never pass stack memory to the put_chars()
function in the first place. Otherwise, we still face the same issue if
a new hvc backend using dma added in the furture.
In this patch, add 'char cons_outbuf[]' as part of 'struct hvc_struct',
so hp->cons_outbuf is no longer the stack memory, we can use it in above
cases safely. We also add lock to protect cons_outbuf instead of using
the global lock of hvc.
Introduce another array(cons_hvcs[]) for hvc pointers next to the
cons_ops[] and vtermnos[] arrays. With the array, we can easily find
hvc's cons_outbuf and its lock.
With the patch, we can revert the fix c4baad5029.

The xen_hvm_early_write() path better wouldn't be taken in this case;
while port 0xE9 can be used, the hypercall path is quite a bit more
efficient. Put that first, as it may also work for DomU-s (see also
xen_raw_console_write()).
While there also bail from the function when the first
domU_write_console() failed - later ones aren't going to succeed.

The alloc_tty_driver failure is handled gracefully in hvsi_init. But
tty_register_driver is not. panic is called if that one fails.
So handle the failure of tty_register_driver gracefully too. This will
keep at least the console functional as it was enabled earlier by
console_initcall in hvsi_console_init. Instead of shooting down the
whole system.
This means, we disable interrupts and restore hvsi_wait back to
poll_for_state().

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:
- Rework inline asm to get rid of error prone "register asm"
constructs, which are problematic especially when code
instrumentation is enabled.
In particular introduce and use register pair union to allocate
even/odd register pairs. Unfortunately this breaks compatibility with
older clang compilers and minimum clang version for s390 has been
raised to 13.

- Fix gcc 11 warnings, which triggered various minor reworks all over
the code.
- Add zstd kernel image compression support.
- Rework boot CPU lowcore handling.
- De-duplicate and move kernel memory layout setup logic earlier.
- Few fixes in preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time
and run-time field bounds checking for mem functions.
- Remove broken and unused power management support leftovers in s390
drivers.
- Disable stack-protector for decompressor and purgatory to fix
buildroot build.
- Fix vt220 sclp console name to match the char device name.
- Enable HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT and add zpci_set_irq()/zpci_clear_irq() in
zPCI code.
- Remove some implausible WARN_ON_ONCEs and remove arch specific
counter transaction call backs in favour of default transaction

hvterm_raw_put_chars() calls hvc_put_chars(), which may return -EAGAIN
when the underlying hcall returns a "busy" status, but udbg_hvc_putc()
doesn't handle this. When using xmon on a PowerVM guest, this can
result in incomplete or garbled output when printing relatively large
amounts of data quickly, such as when dumping the kernel log buffer.
Call again on -EAGAIN.

The driver core ignores the return value of struct bus_type::remove()
because there is only little that can be done. To simplify the quest to
make this function return void, let struct vio_driver::remove() return
void, too. All users already unconditionally return 0, this commit makes
it obvious that returning an error code is a bad idea.
Note there are two nominally different implementations for a vio bus:
one in arch/sparc/kernel/vio.c and the other in
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/vio.c. This patch only adapts the powerpc
one.
Before this patch for a device that was bound to a driver without a
remove callback vio_cmo_bus_remove(viodev) wasn't called. As the device
core still considers the device unbound after vio_bus_remove() returns
calling this unconditionally is the consistent behaviour which is
implemented here.
