[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio: move bi-endian target support to a single location

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio: move bi-endian target support to a single location

[Greg Kurz]

Paolo's recent cpu.h cleanups broke legacy virtio for ppc64 LE guests (and
arm BE guests as well, even if I have not verified that). Especially, commit
"33c11879fd42 qemu-common: push cpu.h inclusion out of qemu-common.h" has
the side-effect of silently hiding the TARGET_IS_BIENDIAN macro from the
virtio memory accessors, and thus fully disabling support of endian changing
targets.

To be sure this cannot happen again, let's gather all the bi-endian bits
where they belong in include/hw/virtio/virtio-access.h.

The changes in hw/virtio/vhost.c are safe because vhost_needs_vring_endian()
is not called on a hot path and non bi-endian targets will return false
anyway.

While here, also rename TARGET_IS_BIENDIAN to be more precise: it is only for
legacy virtio and bi-endian guests.

biendian-ness being only used by virtio devices, I think this is a good place 
where to put it.

These will only be correct if something else includes cpu.h.  Instead of
defining this, you should add

#include "cpu.h"

at the top of include/hw/virtio-access.h and leave the definitions in
target-*/cpu.h.

Unless I missed something, the TARGET_* macros come from the generated
config-target.h header, which is in turn included by qemu/osdep.h and
thus included by most of the code.

All this bi-endian stuff is really an old-virtio-only thing... it is
only to be used by virtio_access_is_big_endian(). The fact that it
broke silently with your cleanup series is yet another proof that
this workaround is fragile.

Hence my tentative to put all the details in one place... would it
be ok if I include "config-target.h" to ensure we have the TARGET macros ?

No, config-target.h is one of the headers that should never be
included by any file except osdep.h (and scripts/clean-includes
will check for this). You're guaranteed that it's always included
for you.

So we don't even need to include osdep.h in virtio-access.h because we
are sure all .c files that include virtio-access.h also include osdep.h
first. Correct ?

You're right.  Problems _could_ happen if virtio-access.h is included in
a file compiled without -DNEED_CPU_H (i.e. with common-obj-y instead of
obj-y) but include/exec/poison.h should take care of that.

It is not fragile actually.  cpu.h doesn't exist in common-obj-y, so the
TARGET_IS_BIENDIAN define can be safely taken from cpu.h.

Anyway because of poison.h your solution isn't fragile either, so

I was referring to the current situation where virtio_access_is_big_endian()
silently lost its ability to support endian changing guests with:

--- a/include/qemu-common.h
+++ b/include/qemu-common.h
@@ -22,11 +22,6 @@
 
 #include "qemu/option.h"
 
-/* FIXME: Remove NEED_CPU_H.  */
-#ifdef NEED_CPU_H
-#include "cpu.h"
-#endif /* !defined(NEED_CPU_H) */
-

which then leads to the usual ENOMEM errors in the guest:

[    8.959600] blk-mq: failed to allocate request map
[    8.960171] virtio_blk: probe of virtio0 failed with error -12

At least, if someone tries to include virtio-access.h in common-obj-y, she
gets a build break.
