hvc/xen: prevent concurrent accesses to the shared ring
[ 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.
Fixes: b536b4b96230 ('xen: use the hvc console infrastructure for Xen console')
