[PATCH v4] vfio/common: remove spurious tpm-crb-cmd misalignment warning

[PATCH v4] vfio/common: remove spurious tpm-crb-cmd misalignment warning

[Eric Auger]

The CRB command buffer currently is a RAM MemoryRegion and given
its base address alignment, it causes an error report on
vfio_listener_region_add(). This region could have been a RAM device
region, easing the detection of such safe situation but this option
was not well received. So let's add a helper function that uses the
memory region owner type to detect the situation is safe wrt
the assignment. Other device types can be checked here if such kind
of problem occurs again.

v3 -> v4:
- rebase on top of qemu_real_host_page_size() and
  qemu_real_host_page_size(). Print the size and make the message
  consistent
- Added Stefan's A-b and Connie R-b (despite the changes)

It looks like this test is going to need to be wrapped in #ifdef
CONFIG_TPM:

sorry for the delay. Your message fell though the cracks :-(

if I put an '#ifdef CONFIG_TPM' I need to inverse the logic because by
default the function shall return false.

solution #1

#ifdef CONFIG_TPM  
 if (TPM_IS_CRB(mr->owner)) {

    /* this is a known safe misaligned region, just trace for debug purpose */
    trace_vfio_known_safe_misalignment(memory_region_name(mr),
                                       section->offset_within_address_space,
                                       section->offset_within_region,
                                       qemu_real_host_page_size());

    return true;
   }

#endif
return false;

This looks weird to me.

+    if (!object_dynamic_cast(mr->owner, TYPE_TPM_CRB)) {
+        return false;
+    }


solution #2
replace !object_dynamic_cast(mr->owner, TYPE_TPM_CRB) by
!object_dynamic_cast(mr->owner, "tpm-crb")
and add a comment saying that we don't use TYPE_TPM_CRB on purpose

solution #3
Move #define TPM_IS_CRB(chr) and related defined out of
#ifdef CONFIG_TPM hoping it does not have other side effects

Thoughts?

solution #4

#ifndef CONFIG_TPM
/* needed for an alignment check in non-tpm code */
static inline Object *TPM_IS_CRB(Object *obj)
{
    return NULL;
}
#endif

I think it would be good if we could hide the configuration details in
the header.

Yep, I forgot to mention solution #3 also happened in include/sysemu/tpm.h.
Connie, either we add your stub function or we move the following out of
the #ifdef CONFIG_TPM. This should be harmless, no?
Stefan, any preference?

#define TYPE_TPM_TIS_ISA            "tpm-tis"
#define TYPE_TPM_TIS_SYSBUS         "tpm-tis-device"
#define TYPE_TPM_CRB                "tpm-crb"
#define TYPE_TPM_SPAPR              "tpm-spapr"

#define TPM_IS_TIS_ISA(chr)                         \
    object_dynamic_cast(OBJECT(chr), TYPE_TPM_TIS_ISA)
#define TPM_IS_TIS_SYSBUS(chr)                      \
    object_dynamic_cast(OBJECT(chr), TYPE_TPM_TIS_SYSBUS)
#define TPM_IS_CRB(chr)                             \
    object_dynamic_cast(OBJECT(chr), TYPE_TPM_CRB)
#define TPM_IS_SPAPR(chr)                           \
    object_dynamic_cast(OBJECT(chr), TYPE_TPM_SPAPR)

If it's just those simple defines, I can't see how that could break
things (you won't have the respective objects anyway). So yes, I think
that is the best solution.

Solution #4 looks good to me...
