As we move stuff around, some doc references are broken. Fix some of
them via this script:
	./scripts/documentation-file-ref-check --fix

Manually checked if the produced result is valid, removing a few
false-positives.

Convert the S_&lt;FOO&gt; symbolic permissions to their octal equivalents as
using octal and not symbolic permissions is preferred by many as more
readable.

Some control API callbacks in aloop driver are too lazy to take the
loopback-&gt;cable_lock and it results in possible races of cable access
while it's being freed.  It eventually lead to a UAF, as reported by
fuzzer recently.

This patch covers such control API callbacks and add the proper mutex
locks.

As recently Smatch suggested, one place in OPL3 driver may expand the
array directly from the user-space value with speculation:
  sound/drivers/opl3/opl3_synth.c:476 snd_opl3_set_voice() warn: potential spectre issue 'snd_opl3_regmap'

This patch puts array_index_nospec() for hardening against it.

Show paused ALSA aloop device as inactive, i.e. the control
"PCM Slave Active" set as false. Notification sent upon state change.

This makes it possible for client capturing from aloop device to know if
data is expected. Without it the client expects data even if playback
is paused.

<title>ALSA: aloop: Fix access to not-yet-ready substream via cable</title>

In loopback_open() and loopback_close(), we assign and release the
substream object to the corresponding cable in a racy way.  It's
neither locked nor done in the right position.  The open callback
assigns the substream before its preparation finishes, hence the other
side of the cable may pick it up, which may lead to the invalid memory
access.

This patch addresses these: move the assignment to the end of the open
callback, and wrap with cable-&gt;lock for avoiding concurrent accesses.

<title>ALSA: aloop: Sync stale timer before release</title>

<id>67a01afaf3d34893cf7d2ea19b34555d6abb7cb0</id>
<content type='text'>
The aloop driver tries to stop the pending timer via timer_del() in
the trigger callback and in the close callback.  The former is
correct, as it's an atomic operation, while the latter expects that
the timer gets really removed and proceeds the resource releases after
that.  But timer_del() doesn't synchronize, hence the running timer
may still access the released resources.

A similar situation can be also seen in the prepare callback after
trigger(STOP) where the prepare tries to re-initialize the things
while a timer is still running.

The problems like the above are seen indirectly in some syzkaller
reports (although it's not 100% clear whether this is the only cause,
as the race condition is quite narrow and not always easy to
trigger).

For addressing these issues, this patch adds the explicit alls of
timer_del_sync() in some places, so that the pending timer is properly
killed / synced.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The timer departement presents:

   - A rather large rework of the hrtimer infrastructure which
     introduces softirq based hrtimers to replace the spread of
     hrtimer/tasklet combos which force the actual callback execution
     into softirq context. The approach is completely different from the
     initial implementation which you cursed at 10 years ago rightfully.

     The softirq based timers have their own queues and there is no
     nasty indirection and list reshuffling in the hard interrupt
     anymore. This comes with conversion of some of the hrtimer/tasklet
     users, the rest and the final removal of that horrible interface
     will come towards the end of the merge window or go through the
     relevant maintainer trees.

     Note: The top commit merged the last minute bugfix for the 10 years
     old CPU hotplug bug as I wanted to make sure that I fatfinger the
     merge conflict resolution myself.

   - The overhaul of the STM32 clocksource/clockevents driver

   - A new driver for the Spreadtrum SC9860 timer

   - A new driver dor the Actions Semi S700 timer

   - The usual set of fixes and updates all over the place"
