[ Upstream commit 6214894f49a967c749ee6c07cb00f9cede748df4 ]
The hvc machinery registers both a console and a tty device based on
the hv ops provided by the specific implementation. Those two
interfaces however have different locks, and there's no single locks
that's shared between the tty and the console implementations, hence
the driver needs to protect itself against concurrent accesses.
Otherwise concurrent calls using the split interfaces are likely to
corrupt the ring indexes, leaving the console unusable.
Introduce a lock to xencons_info to serialize accesses to the shared
ring. This is only required when using the shared memory console,
concurrent accesses to the hypercall based console implementation are
not an issue.
Note the conditional logic in domU_read_console() is slightly modified
so the notify_daemon() call can be done outside of the locked region:
it's an hypercall and there's no need for it to be done with the lock
held.

commit 2704c9a5593f4a47620c12dad78838ca62b52f48 upstream.
The xen_hvc_init() function should always register the frontend driver,
even when there's no primary console — as there may be secondary consoles.
(Qemu can always add secondary consoles, but only the toolstack can add
the primary because it's special.)

commit a30badfd7c13fc8763a9e10c5a12ba7f81515a55 upstream.
On unplug of a Xen console, xencons_disconnect_backend() unconditionally
calls free_irq() via unbind_from_irqhandler(), causing a warning of
freeing an already-free IRQ:
(qemu) device_del con1
[ 32.050919] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 32.050942] Trying to free already-free IRQ 33
[ 32.050990] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 51 at kernel/irq/manage.c:1895 __free_irq+0x1d4/0x330
It should be using evtchn_put() to tear down the event channel binding,
and let the Linux IRQ side of it be handled by notifier_del_irq() through
the HVC code.
On which topic... xencons_disconnect_backend() should call hvc_remove()
*first*, rather than tearing down the event channel and grant mapping
while they are in use. And then the IRQ is guaranteed to be freed by
the time it's torn down by evtchn_put().
Since evtchn_put() also closes the actual event channel, avoid calling
xenbus_free_evtchn() except in the failure path where the IRQ was not
successfully set up.
However, calling hvc_remove() at the start of xencons_disconnect_backend()
still isn't early enough. An unplug request is indicated by the backend
setting its state to XenbusStateClosing, which triggers a notification
to xencons_backend_changed(), which... does nothing except set its own
frontend state directly to XenbusStateClosed without *actually* tearing
down the HVC device or, you know, making sure it isn't actively in use.
So the backend sees the guest frontend set its state to XenbusStateClosed
and stops servicing the interrupt... and the guest spins for ever in the
domU_write_console() function waiting for the ring to drain.
Fix that one by calling hvc_remove() from xencons_backend_changed() before
signalling to the backend that it's OK to proceed with the removal.
Tested with 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hvc1' while telling Qemu to remove
the console device.
