commit 0a7790be182d32b9b332a37cb4206e24fe94b728 upstream.

The saa6588_ioctl() function expects to get called from other kernel
functions with a 'saa6588_command' pointer, but I found nothing stops it
from getting called from user space instead, which seems rather dangerous.

The same thing happens in the davinci vpbe driver with its VENC_GET_FLD
command.

As a quick fix, add a separate .command() callback pointer for this
driver and change the two callers over to that.  This change can easily
get backported to stable kernels if necessary, but since there are only
two drivers, we may want to eventually replace this with a set of more
specialized callbacks in the long run.

[ Upstream commit 50e7a31d30e8221632675abed3be306382324ca2 ]

Smatch static checker warns that "mdev" can be null:

sound/usb/media.c:287 snd_media_device_create()
    warn: 'mdev' can also be NULL

If CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is disabled, this file should not be included
in the build.

The below conditions in the sound/usb/Makefile are in place to ensure that
media.c isn't included in the build.

sound/usb/Makefile:
snd-usb-audio-$(CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER) += media.o

select SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER if MEDIA_CONTROLLER &amp;&amp;
       (MEDIA_SUPPORT=y || MEDIA_SUPPORT=SND_USB_AUDIO)

The following config check in include/media/media-dev-allocator.h is
in place to enable the API only when CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER and
CONFIG_USB are enabled.

 #if defined(CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER) &amp;&amp; defined(CONFIG_USB)

This check doesn't work as intended when CONFIG_USB=m. When CONFIG_USB=m,
CONFIG_USB_MODULE is defined and CONFIG_USB is not. The above config check
doesn't catch that CONFIG_USB is defined as a module and disables the API.
This results in sound/usb enabling Media Controller specific ALSA driver
code, while Media disables the Media Controller API.

Fix the problem requires two changes:

1. Change the check to use IS_ENABLED to detect when CONFIG_USB is enabled
   as a module or static. Since CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is a bool, leave
   the check unchanged to be consistent with drivers/media/Makefile.

2. Change the drivers/media/mc/Makefile to include mc-dev-allocator.o
   in mc-objs when CONFIG_USB is enabled.

[ Upstream commit 67a7e53d5b21f3a84efc03a4e62db7caf97841ef ]

Dependent slice segment flag for PPS control is misnamed. It should have
"enabled" at the end. It only tells if this flag is present in slice
header or not and not the actual value.

Fix this by renaming the PPS flag and introduce another flag for slice
control which tells actual value.

commit ac34b79da14d67a9b494f6125186becbd067e225 upstream.

When controls are used together with the Request API, then for
each request a v4l2_ctrl_handler struct is allocated. This contains
the controls that can be set in a request. If a control is *not* set in
the request, then the value used in the most recent previous request
must be used, or the current value if it is not found in any outstanding
requests.

The framework tried to find such a previous request and it would set
the 'req' pointer in struct v4l2_ctrl_ref to the v4l2_ctrl_ref of the
control in such a previous request. So far, so good. However, when that
previous request was applied to the hardware, returned to userspace, and
then userspace would re-init or free that request, any 'ref' pointer in
still-queued requests would suddenly point to freed memory.

This was not noticed before since the drivers that use this expected
that each request would always have the controls set, so there was
never any need to find a control in older requests. This requirement
was relaxed, and now this bug surfaced.

It was also made worse by changeset
2fae4d6aabc8 ("media: v4l2-ctrls: v4l2_ctrl_request_complete() should always set ref-&gt;req")
which increased the chance of this happening.

The use of the 'req' pointer in v4l2_ctrl_ref was very fragile, so
drop this entirely. Instead add a valid_p_req bool to indicate that
p_req contains a valid value for this control. And if it is false,
then just use the current value of the control.

Note that VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS will always return -EACCES when attempting
to get a control from a request until the request is completed. And in
that case, all controls in the request will have the control value set
(i.e. valid_p_req is true). This means that the whole 'find the most
recent previous request containing a control' idea is pointless, and
the code can be simplified considerably.

The v4l2_g_ext_ctrls_common() function was refactored a bit to make
it more understandable. It also avoids updating volatile controls
in a completed request since that was already done when the request
was completed.

The rc-cec keymap is unusual in that it can't be built as a module,
instead it is registered directly in rc-main.c if CONFIG_MEDIA_CEC_RC
is set. This is because it can be called from drm_dp_cec_set_edid() via
cec_register_adapter() in an asynchronous context, and it is not
allowed to use request_module() to load rc-cec.ko in that case. Trying to
do so results in a 'WARN_ON_ONCE(wait &amp;&amp; current_is_async())'.

Since this keymap is only used if CONFIG_MEDIA_CEC_RC is set, we
just compile this keymap into the rc-core module and never as a
separate module.

The V4L2 temporary clock helper API, was introduced
in late 2012 and, as mentioned in the documentation,
meant to be replaced by the generic clock API,
once the generic clock framework became available
on all relevant architectures.

The generic clock API is a well-established API (since a few
years now). The last few media capture drivers and sensors
using v4l2-clk have been converted to the generic clock framework.

We can now remove the v4l2-clk API.

Now that most users of v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev have been converted,
let's fix the documentation so it's more clear how the v4l2-async API
should be used.

Document functions that drivers should use, and their purpose.

The functions that add an async subdev to an async subdev notifier take
as an argument the size of the container structure they need to
allocate. This is error prone, as passing an invalid size will not be
caught by the compiler. Wrap those functions in macros that take a
container type instead of a size, and cast the returned pointer to the
desired type. The compiler will catch mistakes if the incorrect type is
passed to the macro, as the assignment types won't match.
