virt: vbox: Log an error when we fail to get the host version

2018-04-23T11:41:55+00:00

This was the only error path during probe without a message being logged
about what went wrong, this fixes this.

virt: vbox: Use __get_free_pages instead of kmalloc for DMA32 memory

2018-04-23T11:41:55+00:00

It is not possible to get DMA32 zone memory through kmalloc, causing
the vboxguest driver to malfunction due to getting memory above
4G which the PCI device cannot handle.

This commit changes the kmalloc calls where the 4G limit matters to
using __get_free_pages() fixing vboxguest not working on x86_64 guests
with more then 4G RAM.

virt: vbox: Add vbg_req_free() helper function

2018-04-23T11:41:55+00:00

This is a preparation patch for fixing issues on x86_64 virtual-machines
with more then 4G of RAM, atm we pass __GFP_DMA32 to kmalloc, but kmalloc
does not honor that, so we need to switch to get_pages, which means we
will not be able to use kfree to free memory allocated with vbg_alloc_req.

While at it also remove a comment on a vbg_alloc_req call which talks
about Windows (inherited from the vbox upstream cross-platform code).

virt: vbox: Move declarations of vboxguest private functions to private header

2018-04-23T11:41:55+00:00

Move the declarations of functions from vboxguest_utils.c which are only
meant for vboxguest internal use from include/linux/vbox_utils.h to
drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.h.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03+00:00

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Merge tag 'char-misc-4.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

2018-02-01T18:31:17+00:00

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big pull request for char/misc drivers for 4.16-rc1.

  There's a lot of stuff in here. Three new driver subsystems were added
  for various types of hardware busses:

   - siox
   - slimbus
   - soundwire

  as well as a new vboxguest subsystem for the VirtualBox hypervisor
  drivers.

  There's also big updates from the FPGA subsystem, lots of Android
  binder fixes, the usual handful of hyper-v updates, and lots of other
  smaller driver updates.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a long time, with no reported
  issues"

codes, these are both used by the vboxsf (shared folder) code.

virt: vbox: use %pap format for printing resource_size_t

2017-12-21T17:06:59+00:00

resource_size_t may be larger than pointers depending on configuration,
so we can run into this build warning:

drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_linux.c: In function 'vbg_pci_probe':
drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_linux.c:295:4: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_linux.c:367:4: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]

This uses the special %pap to print the address by reference.

virt: Add vboxguest driver for Virtual Box Guest integration

2017-12-18T15:12:22+00:00

This commit adds a driver for the Virtual Box Guest PCI device used in
Virtual Box virtual machines. Enabling this driver will add support for
Virtual Box Guest integration features such as copy-and-paste, seamless
mode and OpenGL pass-through.

This driver also offers vboxguest IPC functionality which is needed
for the vboxfs driver which offers folder sharing support.

virt: Add vboxguest VMMDEV communication code

2017-12-18T15:12:21+00:00

This commits adds a header describing the hardware interface for the
Virtual Box Guest PCI device used in Virtual Box virtual machines and
utility functions for talking to the Virtual Box hypervisor over this
interface.

These utility functions will used both by the vboxguest driver for the
PCI device which offers the /dev/vboxguest ioctl API and by the vboxfs
driver which offers folder sharing support.
