<title>drm/virtio: fix deadlock in display_info_cb by removing hotplug from dequeue worker</title>

[ Upstream commit d1b894c5bbb3fee0012bd14356286dc2384e8213 ]

A probe-time deadlock can occur between the dequeue worker and
drm_client_register(). During probe, drm_client_register() holds
clientlist_mutex and calls the fbdev hotplug callback, which triggers an
atomic commit that ends up sleeping in virtio_gpu_queue_ctrl_sgs()
waiting for virtqueue space. The dequeue worker that would free that
space calls virtio_gpu_cmd_get_display_info_cb(), which invokes
drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event() -&gt; drm_client_dev_hotplug(), attempting
to acquire the same clientlist_mutex. Since wake_up() is only called
after the resp_cb loop, the probe thread is never woken and both threads
deadlock.

Fix this by removing the hotplug notification from
virtio_gpu_cmd_get_display_info_cb(). The display data (outputs[i].info)
is still updated synchronously in the callback.

For the init path, drm_client_register() already fires an initial
hotplug when the client is registered, which picks up the connector
state updated by display_info_cb.

For the runtime config_changed path, add a wait_event_timeout() in
config_changed_work_func() so that display_info_cb updates the connector
data before the hotplug notification is sent. Also replace
drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() with drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event() since
virtio-gpu never calls drm_kms_helper_poll_init() and thus
drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() always returns false without doing anything.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<content type='text'>
VirtIO-GPU got a new config option for disabling KMS. There were two
problems left unnoticed during review when the new option was added:

1. The IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU_KMS) check in the code was
inverted, hence KMS was disabled when it should be enabled and vice versa.

2. The disabled KMS crashed kernel with a NULL dereference in
drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event(), which shall not be invoked with a
disabled KMS.

Fix the inverted config option check in the code and skip handling the
VIRTIO_GPU_EVENT_DISPLAY sent by host when KMS is disabled in guest to fix
the crash.

Add a build option to disable modesetting support.  This is useful in
cases where the guest only needs to use the GPU in a headless mode, or
(such as in the CrOS usage) window surfaces are proxied to a host
compositor.

As the modesetting ioctls are a big surface area for potential security
bugs to be found (it's happened in the past, we should assume it will
again in the future), it makes sense to have a build option to disable
those ioctls in cases where they serve no legitimate purpose.

v2: Use more if (IS_ENABLED(...))
v3: Also permit the host to advertise no scanouts
v4: Spiff out commit msg
v5: Make num_scanouts==0 and DRM_VIRTIO_GPU_KMS=n behave the same
v6: Drop conditionally building virtgpu_display.c and early-out of
    it's init/fini fxns instead
