ALSA: dummy: Implement timer backend switching more safely

2016-02-19T22:22:40+00:00

commit ddce57a6f0a2d8d1bfacfa77f06043bc760403c2 upstream.

Currently the selected timer backend is referred at any moment from
the running PCM callbacks.  When the backend is switched, it's
possible to lead to inconsistency from the running backend.  This was
pointed by syzkaller fuzzer, and the commit [7ee96216c31a: ALSA:
dummy: Disable switching timer backend via sysfs] disabled the dynamic
switching for avoiding the crash.

This patch improves the handling of timer backend switching.  It keeps
the reference to the selected backend during the whole operation of an
opened stream so that it won't be changed by other streams.

Together with this change, the hrtimer parameter is reenabled as
writable now.

NOTE: this patch also turned out to fix the still remaining race.
Namely, ops was still replaced dynamically at dummy_pcm_open:

  static int dummy_pcm_open(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream)
  {
  ....
          dummy->timer_ops = &dummy_systimer_ops;
          if (hrtimer)
                  dummy->timer_ops = &dummy_hrtimer_ops;

Since dummy->timer_ops is common among all streams, and when the
replacement happens during accesses of other streams, it may lead to a
crash.  This was actually triggered by syzkaller fuzzer and KASAN.

This patch rewrites the code not to use the ops shared by all streams
any longer, too.

ALSA: dummy: Disable switching timer backend via sysfs

2016-02-19T22:22:39+00:00

commit 7ee96216c31aabe1eb42fb91ff50dae9fcd014b2 upstream.

ALSA dummy driver can switch the timer backend between system timer
and hrtimer via its hrtimer module option.  This can be also switched
dynamically via sysfs, but it may lead to a memory corruption when
switching is done while a PCM stream is running; the stream instance
for the newly switched timer method tries to access the memory that
was allocated by another timer method although the sizes differ.

As the simplest fix, this patch just disables the switch via sysfs by
dropping the writable bit.

ALSA: pcm_format_to_bits strong-typed conversion

2013-04-29T11:36:15+00:00

Add a function to handle conversion from snd_pcm_format_t
to bitwise with proper typing.

Change such conversions to use this function and silence sparse
warnings.

ALSA: add/change some comments describing function return values

2013-03-12T07:32:53+00:00

script/kernel-doc reports the following type of warnings (when run in verbose
mode):

Warning(sound/core/init.c:152): No description found for return value of
'snd_card_create'

To fix that:
- add missing descriptions of function return values
- use "Return:" sections to describe those return values

Along the way:
- complete some descriptions
- fix some typos

ALSA: aloop: Fix Oops while PM resume

2013-02-04T09:28:15+00:00

snd-aloop driver has no proper PM implementation, thus the PM resume
may trigger Oops due to leftover timer instance.  This patch adds the
missing suspend/resume implementation.

ALSA: Make snd_printd() and snd_printdd() inline

2013-01-25T17:32:14+00:00

Because currently snd_printd() and snd_printdd() macros are expanded
to empty when CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=n, a compile warning like below
appears sometimes, and we had to covert it by ugly ifdefs:
  sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c: In function ‘stac92hd71bxx_fixup_hp’:
  sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:2434:24: warning: unused variable ‘spec’ [-Wunused-variable]

For "fixing" these issues better, this patch replaces snd_printd() and
snd_printdd() definitions with empty inline functions instead of
macros.  This should have the same effect but shut up warnings like
above.

But since we had already put ifdefs, changing to inline functions
would trigger compile errors.  So, such ifdefs is removed in this
patch.

In addition, snd_pci_quirk name field is defined only when
CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE is set, and the reference to it in
snd_printdd() argument triggers the build errors, too.  For avoiding
these errors, introduce a new macro snd_pci_quirk_name() that is
defined no matter how the debug option is set.
