virtio: kerneldocs fixes and enhancements

2022-08-16T05:40:24+00:00

Fix variable names in some kerneldocs, naming in others. Add kerneldocs for struct vring_desc and vring_interrupt. Signed-off-by: Ricardo Cañuelo Message-Id: <20220810094004.1250-2-ricardo.canuelo@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Reviewed-by: Cornelia Huck

virtio: force spec specified alignment on types

2020-06-02T06:45:13+00:00

The ring element addresses are passed between components with different alignments assumptions. Thus, if guest/userspace selects a pointer and host then gets and dereferences it, we might need to decrease the compiler-selected alignment to prevent compiler on the host from assuming pointer is aligned. This actually triggers on ARM with -mabi=apcs-gnu - which is a deprecated configuration, but it seems safer to handle this generally. Note that userspace that allocates the memory is actually OK and does not need to be fixed, but userspace that gets it from guest or another process does need to be fixed. The later doesn't generally talk to the kernel so while it might be buggy it's not talking to the kernel in the buggy way - it's just using the header in the buggy way - so fixing header and asking userspace to recompile is the best we can do. I verified that the produced kernel binary on x86 is exactly identical before and after the change. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Acked-by: Jason Wang

net, uapi: fix -Wpointer-arith warnings

Add casts to fix these warnings: ./usr/include/linux/netfilter_arp/arp_tables.h:200:19: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith] ./usr/include/linux/netfilter_bridge/ebtables.h:197:19: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith] ./usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_tables.h:223:19: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith] ./usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6_tables.h:263:19: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith] ./usr/include/linux/tipc_config.h:310:28: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith] ./usr/include/linux/tipc_config.h:410:24: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith] ./usr/include/linux/virtio_ring.h:170:16: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith] Those are theoretical probably but kernel doesn't control compiler flags in userspace.

virtio: drop internal struct from UAPI

2019-02-05T20:29:48+00:00

There's no reason to expose struct vring_packed in UAPI - if we do we won't be able to change or drop it, and it's not part of any interface. Let's move it to virtio_ring.c Cc: Tiwei Bie Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

x86/lguest: Remove lguest support

2017-08-24T07:57:28+00:00

Lguest seems to be rather unused these days. It has seen only patches ensuring it still builds the last two years and its official state is "Odd Fixes". Remove it in order to be able to clean up the paravirt code.

virtio: Fix typecast of pointer in vring_init()

2015-07-07T11:27:04+00:00

The virtio_ring.h header is used in userspace programs (ie. QEMU), too. Here we can not assume that sizeof(pointer) is the same as sizeof(long), e.g. when compiling for Windows, so the typecast in vring_init() should be done with (uintptr_t) instead of (unsigned long).

virtio_ring: document alignment requirements

2014-12-29T08:54:54+00:00

Host needs to know vring element alignment requirements: simply doing alignof on structures doesn't work reliably: on some platforms gcc has alignof(uint32_t) == 2. Add macros for alignment as specified in virtio 1.0 cs01, export them to userspace as well. Acked-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin
