Instead of allocating just one buffer for a port's in_vq, fill

This commit adds a new feature, MULTIPORT. If the host supports this
feature as well, the config space has the number of ports defined for
that device. New ports are spawned according to this information.
The config space also has the maximum number of ports that can be
spawned for a particular device. This is useful in initializing the
appropriate number of virtqueues in advance, as ports might be
hot-plugged in later.
Using this feature, generic ports can be created which are not tied to
hvc consoles.
We also open up a private channel between the host and the guest via
which some "control" messages are exchanged for the ports, like whether
the port being spawned is a console port, resizing the console window,
etc.
Next commits will add support for hotplugging and presenting char
devices in /dev/ for bi-directional guest-host communication.

virtio is communicating with a virtual "device" that actually runs on
another host processor. Thus SMP barriers can be used to control
memory access ordering.
Where possible, we should use SMP barriers which are more lightweight than
mandatory barriers, because mandatory barriers also control MMIO effects on
accesses through relaxed memory I/O windows (which virtio does not use)
(compare specifically smp_rmb and rmb on x86_64).
We can't just use smp_mb and friends though, because
we must force memory ordering even if guest is UP since host could be
running on another CPU, but SMP barriers are defined to barrier() in
that configuration. So, for UP fall back to mandatory barriers instead.

With DEBUG defined, we add an ->in_use flag to detect if the caller
invokes two virtio methods in parallel. The barriers attempt to ensure
timely update of the ->in_use flag.
But they're voodoo: if we need these barriers it implies that the
calling code doesn't have sufficient synchronization to ensure the
code paths aren't invoked at the same time anyway, and we want to
detect it.
Also, adding barriers changes timing, so turning on debug has more
chance of hiding real problems.
Thanks to MST for drawing my attention to this code...

This is a fix for my earlier patch: "virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to
the balloon driver (V4)".
I discovered that all_vm_events() can sleep and therefore stats collection
cannot be done in interrupt context. One solution is to handle the interrupt
by noting that stats need to be collected and waking the existing vballoon
kthread which will complete the work via stats_handle_request(). Rusty, is
this a saner way of doing business?
There is one issue that I would like a broader opinion on. In stats_request, I
update vb->need_stats_update and then wake up the kthread. The kthread uses
vb->need_stats_update as a condition variable. Do I need a memory barrier
between the update and wake_up to ensure that my kthread sees the correct
value? My testing suggests that it is not needed but I would like some
confirmation from the experts.

Changes since V3:
- Do not do endian conversions as they will be done in the host
- Report stats that reference a quantity of memory in bytes
- Minor coding style updates
Changes since V2:
- Increase stat field size to 64 bits
- Report all sizes in kb (not pages)
- Drop anon_pages stat and fix endianness conversion
Changes since V1:
- Use a virtqueue instead of the device config space
When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for
guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information
that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests. The current method
employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a
host daemon at a specified time interval. The host daemon aggregates this
information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of
host memory pressure. This approach is effective but overly complex since a
daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with
the host. A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio
balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor.
This patch enables the guest-side support by adding stats collection and
reporting to the virtio balloon driver.

reduced in size, we ended up not changing the stack at all.
This size reduction check is not necessary as the expand_stack call does
this already.
This caused a regression in UML resulting in most guest processes being

* pa[idp->layers] should be cleared even if it's not used by
sub_alloc() because it's used by mark idr_mark_full().
* The original condition check also assigned pa[l] to p which the new

Both problems have been fixed and the idr code has received good amount

The bug this patch fixes is caused by sub_alloc() optimization path
bypassing out-of-room condition check and restarting allocation loop
