[PATCH v6] drm/virtio: Add option to disable KMS support

From: Rob Clark
Date: Thu Mar 02 2023 - 18:35:16 EST


From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a build option to disable modesetting support. This is useful in
cases where the guest only needs to use the GPU in a headless mode, or
(such as in the CrOS usage) window surfaces are proxied to a host
compositor.

As the modesetting ioctls are a big surface area for potential security
bugs to be found (it's happened in the past, we should assume it will
again in the future), it makes sense to have a build option to disable
those ioctls in cases where they serve no legitimate purpose.

v2: Use more if (IS_ENABLED(...))
v3: Also permit the host to advertise no scanouts
v4: Spiff out commit msg
v5: Make num_scanouts==0 and DRM_VIRTIO_GPU_KMS=n behave the same
v6: Drop conditionally building virtgpu_display.c and early-out of
it's init/fini fxns instead
