[ Upstream commit 107bc0766b9feb5113074c753735a3f115c2141f ]

We want to deliver packets to monitoring devices before it is
put in the virtqueue, to avoid that replies can appear in the
packet capture before the transmitted packet.

<title>vhost: vsock: kick send_pkt worker once device is started</title>

commit 0b841030625cde5f784dd62aec72d6a766faae70 upstream.

Ning Bo reported an abnormal 2-second gap when booting Kata container [1].
The unconditional timeout was caused by VSOCK_DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT of
connecting from the client side. The vhost vsock client tries to connect
an initializing virtio vsock server.

The abnormal flow looks like:
host-userspace           vhost vsock                       guest vsock
==============           ===========                       ============
connect()     --------&gt;  vhost_transport_send_pkt_work()   initializing
   |                     vq-&gt;private_data==NULL
   |                     will not be queued
   V
schedule_timeout(2s)
                         vhost_vsock_start()  &lt;---------   device ready
                         set vq-&gt;private_data

wait for 2s and failed
connect() again          vq-&gt;private_data!=NULL         recv connecting pkt

Details:
1. Host userspace sends a connect pkt, at that time, guest vsock is under
   initializing, hence the vhost_vsock_start has not been called. So
   vq-&gt;private_data==NULL, and the pkt is not been queued to send to guest
2. Then it sleeps for 2s
3. After guest vsock finishes initializing, vq-&gt;private_data is set
4. When host userspace wakes up after 2s, send connecting pkt again,
   everything is fine.

As suggested by Stefano Garzarella, this fixes it by additional kicking the
send_pkt worker in vhost_vsock_start once the virtio device is started. This
makes the pending pkt sent again.

After this patch, kata-runtime (with vsock enabled) boot time is reduced
from 3s to 1s on a ThunderX2 arm64 server.

Doing so, we save one call to get data we already have in the struct.

Also, since there is no guarantee that getname use sockaddr_ll
parameter beyond its size, we add a little bit of security here.
It should do not do beyond MAX_ADDR_LEN, but syzbot found that
ax25_getname writes more (72 bytes, the size of full_sockaddr_ax25,
versus 20 + 32 bytes of sockaddr_ll + MAX_ADDR_LEN in syzbot repro).

When we receive a new packet from the guest, we check if the
src_cid is correct, but we forgot to check the dst_cid.

The host should accept only packets where dst_cid is
equal to the host CID.

Add kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop() annotations to the
vhost_worker() function, which is responsible for processing vhost
works.

Since vhost_worker() threads are spawned per vhost device instance the
common kcov handle is used for kcov_remote_start()/stop() annotations
(see Documentation/dev-tools/kcov.rst for details).  As the result kcov
can now be used to collect coverage from vhost worker threads.

Pull removal of most of fs/compat_ioctl.c from Arnd Bergmann:
 "As part of the cleanup of some remaining y2038 issues, I came to
  fs/compat_ioctl.c, which still has a couple of commands that need
  support for time64_t.

  In completely unrelated work, I spent time on cleaning up parts of
  this file in the past, moving things out into drivers instead.

  After Al Viro reviewed an earlier version of this series and did a lot
  more of that cleanup, I decided to try to completely eliminate the
  rest of it and move it all into drivers.

  This series incorporates some of Al's work and many patches of my own,
  but in the end stops short of actually removing the last part, which
  is the scsi ioctl handlers. I have patches for those as well, but they
  need more testing or possibly a rewrite"

In a nested VM environment, we have to refuse to assign to a nested
guest the same CID assigned to our guest-&gt;host transport.
In this way, the user can use the local CID for loopback.

<title>vsock: prevent transport modules unloading</title>

This patch adds 'module' member in the 'struct vsock_transport'
in order to get/put the transport module. This prevents the
module unloading while sockets are assigned to it.

We increase the module refcnt when a socket is assigned to a
transport, and we decrease the module refcnt when the socket
is destructed.

<title>vsock: add multi-transports support</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds the support of multiple transports in the
VSOCK core.

With the multi-transports support, we can use vsock with nested VMs
(using also different hypervisors) loading both guest-&gt;host and
host-&gt;guest transports at the same time.

Major changes:
- vsock core module can be loaded regardless of the transports
- vsock_core_init() and vsock_core_exit() are renamed to
  vsock_core_register() and vsock_core_unregister()
- vsock_core_register() has a feature parameter (H2G, G2H, DGRAM)
  to identify which directions the transport can handle and if it's
  support DGRAM (only vmci)
- each stream socket is assigned to a transport when the remote CID
  is set (during the connect() or when we receive a connection request
  on a listener socket).
  The remote CID is used to decide which transport to use:
  - remote CID &lt;= VMADDR_CID_HOST will use guest-&gt;host transport;
  - remote CID == local_cid (guest-&gt;host transport) will use guest-&gt;host
    transport for loopback (host-&gt;guest transports don't support loopback);
  - remote CID &gt; VMADDR_CID_HOST will use host-&gt;guest transport;
- listener sockets are not bound to any transports since no transport
  operations are done on it. In this way we can create a listener
  socket, also if the transports are not loaded or with VMADDR_CID_ANY
  to listen on all transports.
- DGRAM sockets are handled as before, since only the vmci_transport
  provides this feature.
