      ALSA: seq: Fix race of get-subscription call vs port-delete ioctls · 2eabc5ec
      Takashi Iwai authored
      The snd_seq_ioctl_get_subscription() retrieves the port subscriber
      information as a pointer, while the object isn't protected, hence it
      may be deleted before the actual reference.  This race was spotted by
      syzkaller and may lead to a UAF.
      
      The fix is simply copying the data in the lookup function that
      performs in the rwsem to protect against the deletion.

      ALSA: seq: Protect in-kernel ioctl calls with mutex · feb68902
      Takashi Iwai authored
      ALSA OSS sequencer calls the ioctl function indirectly via
      snd_seq_kernel_client_ctl().  While we already applied the protection
      against races between the normal ioctls and writes via the client's
      ioctl_mutex, this code path was left untouched.  And this seems to be
      the cause of still remaining some rare UAF as spontaneously triggered
      by syzkaller.
      
      For the sake of robustness, wrap the ioctl_mutex also for the call via
      snd_seq_kernel_client_ctl(), too.

      ALSA: seq: Remove superfluous irqsave flags · f823b8a7
      Takashi Iwai authored
      spin_lock_irqsave() is used unnecessarily in various places in
      sequencer core code although it's pretty obvious that the context is
      sleepable.  Remove irqsave and use the plain spin_lock_irq() in such
      places for simplicity.

      ALSA: seq: Align temporary re-locking with irqsave version · 4b24b960
      Takashi Iwai authored
      In a few places in sequencer core, we temporarily unlock / re-lock the
      pool spin lock while waiting for the allocation in the blocking mode.
      There spin_unlock_irq() / spin_lock_irq() pairs are called while
      initially spin_lock_irqsave() is used (and spin_lock_irqrestore() at
      the end of the function again).  This is likely OK for now, but it's a
      bit confusing and error-prone.
      
      This patch replaces these temporary relocking lines with the irqsave
      variant to make the lock/unlock sequence more consistently.

      ALSA: timer: Revert active callback sync check at close · df55531b
      Takashi Iwai authored
      This is essentially a revert of the commit a7588c89 ("ALSA: timer:
      Check ack_list emptiness instead of bit flag").  The intended change
      by the commit turns out to be insufficient, as snd_timer_close*()
      always calls snd_timer_stop() that deletes the ack_list beforehand.
      
      In theory, we can change the behavior of snd_timer_stop() to sync the
      pending ack_list, but this will become a deadlock for the callback
      like sequencer that calls again snd_timer_stop() from itself.  So,
      reverting the change is a more straightforward solution.

      alloc_pages_exact() is more suitable choice for allocating the sound

      ALSA: Replace snd_malloc_pages() and snd_free_pages() with standard helpers, take#2 · 734b5a0b
      Takashi Iwai authored
      snd_malloc_pages() and snd_free_pages() are merely thin wrappers of
      the standard page allocator / free functions.  Even the arguments are
      compatible with some standard helpers, so there is little merit of
      keeping these wrappers.
      
      This patch replaces the all existing callers of snd_malloc_pages() and
      snd_free_pages() with the direct calls of the standard helper
      functions.  In this version, we use a recently introduced one,
      alloc_pages_exact(), which suits better than the old
      snd_malloc_pages() implementation for our purposes.  Then we can avoid
      the waste of pages by alignment to power-of-two.
      
      Since alloc_pages_exact() does split pages, we need no longer
      __GFP_COMP flag; or better to say, we must not pass __GFP_COMP to
      alloc_pages_exact().  So the former unconditional addition of
      __GFP_COMP flag in snd_malloc_pages() is dropped, as well as in most
      other places.

      ALSA: timer: Make snd_timer_close() really kill pending actions · fe1b26c9
      Takashi Iwai authored
      snd_timer_close() is supposed to close the timer instance and sync
      with the deactivation of pending actions.  However, there are still
      some overlooked cases:
      
      - It calls snd_timer_stop() at the beginning, but some other might
        re-trigger the timer right after that.
      
      - snd_timer_stop() calls del_timer_sync() only when all belonging
        instances are closed.  If multiple instances were assigned to a
        timer object and one is closed, the timer is still running.  Then
        the pending action assigned to this timer might be left.
      
      Actually either of the above is the likely cause of the reported
      syzkaller UAF.
      
      This patch plug these holes by introducing SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_DEAD
      flag.  This is set at the beginning of snd_timer_close(), and the flag
      is checked at snd_timer_start*() and else, so that no longer new
      action is left after snd_timer_close().

      Takashi Iwai authored
      For checking the pending timer instance that is still left on the
      timer object that is being closed, we set/clear a bit flag
      SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_CALLBACK around the call of callbacks.  This can be
      simplified by replace with the list_empty() call for ti->ack_list.
      This covers the existence more comprehensively and safely.
      
      A gratis bonus is that we can get rid of SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_CALLBACK bit
      flag definition as well.

      The timer core has two almost identical code for processing callbacks:
      once in snd_timer_interrupt() for fast callbacks and another in

      In the new version, the resolution is read from ti->resolution at each

      ALSA: firewire-lib: use 8 byte header for IR context to get isochronous cycle · cc4f8e91
      Takashi Sakamoto authored
      In kernel API of Linux FireWire subsystem, handlers of isochronous
      receive (IR) context can get context headers as an argument of
      callback. When 4 byte header is used, the context header includes
      isochronous packet header for each packet. When 8 byte header is
      used, it includes isochronous cycle as well.
      
      ALSA IEC 61883-1/6 engine uses 4 byte header, and computes isochronous
      cycle from the cycle of interrupt. The usage of 8 byte header can
      obsolete the computation.
      
      Furthermore, this change works well for a case that a series of
      packet in one interrupt includes skipped isochronous cycle,
      
      This commit uses 8 byte header to handle isochronous cycle.

      ALSA: firewire-motu: add support MOTU 8pre FireWire · 35033d8c
      Takashi Sakamoto authored
      This commit adds support for MOTU 8pre FireWire, which was shipped 2007
      and nowadays already discontinued. Userspace applications can transmit
      and receive PCM frames and MIDI messages for this model via ALSA PCM
      interface and RawMidi/Sequencer interfaces.
      
      Like the other models of MOTU FireWire series, this model has many
      quirks in its CIP.
      
      At first, data channels for two pairs of optical interfaces. At lower
      sampling transmission frequency, i.e. 44.1 and 48.0 kHz, one pair is
      available for ADAT data, thus 8 data chunks are transferred by CIP.
      At middle sampling transmission frequency, i.e.  88.2 and 96.0 kHz,
      two pairs are available to keep 8 chunks for ADAT data, thus CIP
      still includes 8 data chunks.
      
      Apart from data chunks for optical interface, CIP includes fixed number
      of data chunks. In tx stream, two chunks for status message, eight
      chunks for samples from analog 1-8 input, two chunks for mix-return.
      In rx stream, two chunks for control message, two chunks for main 1-2
      output, two chunks for phone 1-2 output, two chunks for dummy 1-2.
      
      CIP header in tx stream includes quirks for its dbs and dbc fields.
      The value of dbs field is fixed to 0x13, against its actual size.
      The value of dbc field is firstly updated to 0x07 from zero, then
      it's incremented continuously according to actual number of data h
      blocks.
      
      Finally, the model has own bits to disable frame fetch.
      
      This commit uses several options to absorb the above quirks.

      ALSA: firewire-motu: use 'version' field of unit directory to identify model · 2d012c65
      Takashi Sakamoto authored
      Current ALSA firewire-motu driver uses the value of 'model' field
      of unit directory in configuration ROM for modalias for MOTU
      FireWire models. However, as long as I checked, Pre8 and
      828mk3(Hybrid) have the same value for the field (=0x100800).
      
      unit            | version   | model
      --------------- | --------- | ----------
      828mkII         | 0x000003  | 0x101800
      Traveler        | 0x000009  | 0x107800
      Pre8            | 0x00000f  | 0x100800 <-
      828mk3(FW)      | 0x000015  | 0x106800
      AudioExpress    | 0x000033  | 0x104800
      828mk3(Hybrid)  | 0x000035  | 0x100800 <-
      
      When updating firmware for MOTU 8pre FireWire from v1.0.0 to v1.0.3,
      I got change of the value from 0x100800 to 0x103800. On the other
      hand, the value of 'version' field is fixed to 0x00000f. As a quick
      glance, the higher 12 bits of the value of 'version' field represent
      firmware version, while the lower 12 bits is unknown.
      
      By induction, the value of 'version' field represents actual model.
      
      This commit changes modalias to match the value of 'version' field,
      instead of 'model' field. For degug, long name of added sound card
      includes hexadecimal value of 'model' field.

      Currently, every arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild explicitly includes
      the common Kbuild.asm file. Factor out the duplicated include directives
      to scripts/Makefile.asm-generic so that no architecture would opt out
      of the mandatory-y mechanism.
      
      um is not forced to include mandatory-y since it is a very exceptional
      case which does not support UAPI.

      The generic-y is redundant under the following condition:
      
       - arch has its own implementation
      
       - the same header is added to generated-y
      
       - the same header is added to mandatory-y
      
      If a redundant generic-y is found, the warning like follows is displayed:

      kbuild: Make NOSTDINC_FLAGS a simply expanded variable · 0c22be07
      Douglas Anderson authored
      During a simple no-op (nothing changed) build I saw 39 invocations of
      the C compiler with the argument "-print-file-name=include".  We don't
      need to call the C compiler 39 times for this--one time will suffice.
      
      Let's change NOSTDINC_FLAGS to a simply expanded variable to avoid
      this since there doesn't appear to be any reason it should be
      recursively expanded.
      
      On my build this shaved ~400 ms off my "no-op" build.
      
      Note that the recursive expansion seems to date back to the (really
      old) commit e8f5bdb0 ("[PATCH] Makefile include path ordering").
      It's a little unclear to me if the point of that patch was to switch
      the variable to be recursively expanded (which it did) or to avoid
      directly assigning to NOSTDINC_FLAGS (AKA to switch to +=) because
      someone else (out of tree?) was setting it.  I presume later since if
      the only goal was to switch to recursive expansion the patch would
      have just removed the ":".

        Thus it would be more foolproof to explicitly use 1.0 (as we always
        did) than to rely on dpkg-source's defaults.
      
      * In a similar vein, debian/rules is not made executable by mkdebian,
        and dpkg-source warns about that but still silently fixes the file.
        Let's be explicit once again.

      coccinelle: semantic code search for missing put_device() · da9cfb87
      Wen Yang authored
      The of_find_device_by_node() takes a reference to the underlying device
      structure, we should release that reference.
      The implementation of this semantic code search is:
      In a function, for a local variable returned by calling
      of_find_device_by_node(),
      a, if it is released by a function such as
         put_device()/of_dev_put()/platform_device_put() after the last use,
         it is considered that there is no reference leak;
      b, if it is passed back to the caller via
         dev_get_drvdata()/platform_get_drvdata()/get_device(), etc., the
         reference will be released in other functions, and the current function
         also considers that there is no reference leak;
      c, for the rest of the situation, the current function should release the
         reference by calling put_device, this code search will report the
         corresponding error message.
      
      By using this semantic code search, we have found some object reference leaks,
      such as:
      commit 11907e9d ("ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: fix object reference leaks in
      fsl_asoc_card_probe")
      commit a12085d1 ("mtd: rawnand: atmel: fix possible object reference leak")
      commit 11493f26 ("mtd: rawnand: jz4780: fix possible object reference leak")
      
      There are still dozens of reference leaks in the current kernel code.
      
      Further, for the case of b, the object returned to other functions may also
      have a reference leak, we will continue to develop other cocci scripts to
      further check the reference leak.

      Merge tag 'pidfd-v5.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux · a9dce667
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
       "This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/
        as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
        will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
        the processes they refer to.
      
        With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct
        pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
        its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
        to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.
      
        With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
        example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
        process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
        parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
        rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
        in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
        process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
        quite handy.
      
        There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
        management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
        and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
        suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
        most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
        the future once they are needed.
      
        This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
        caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
        functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
        a pidfd.
      
        Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should
        cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then:
      
            https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/
      
        The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting
        the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility"
