Aaron Lewis March 1, 2023, 5:34 a.m. UTC
Add more flexibility to guest debugging and testing by adding
GUEST_PRINTF() and GUEST_ASSERT_FMT() to the ucall framework.

A buffer to hold the formatted string was added to the ucall struct.
That allows the guest/host to avoid the problem of passing an
arbitrary number of parameters between themselves when resolving the
string.  Instead, the string is resolved in the guest then passed
back to the host to be logged.

The formatted buffer is set to 1024 bytes which increases the size
of the ucall struct.  As a result, this will increase the number of
pages requested for the guest.

Hi Aaron,

A simple question, what if someone print too long in guest which exceed 
the UCALL_BUFFER_LEN, it seems buffer overflow will happen since 
vsprintf will not check the buffer length.

Just in case, someone may don't know the limit and print too long.

Thanks,

In the followup I can check the length of the string written in
ucall_fmt() and return an overflow assert to the host instead if one
is detected.

Why 1024?  I don't particuarly have an opinion, but some explanation of where this
magic number comes from would be helpful.

Please don't wrap strings, especially not in macros.  Just run past 80 chars if necessary.

This is unnecessary, there's one caller and it immediately sets cmd.  If it's a
sticking point, force the caller to pass in @cmd and move the WRITE_ONCE() here.
Oh, and if you do that, put it in a separate patch.
