<title>ALSA: firewire: isight: bound the sample count to the packet payload</title>

<id>31a01b70bb90e3ef3147f308e2ea899e1d2485ca</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 29b9667982e4df2ed7744f86b1144f8bb58eb698 upstream.

isight_packet() takes the frame count from the device iso packet and
checks it only against the device claimed iso length.

	count = be32_to_cpu(payload-&gt;sample_count);
	if (likely(count &lt;= (length - 16) / 4))
		isight_samples(isight, payload-&gt;samples, count);

length is the iso header data_length. It can be up to 0xffff. So the
gate allows a count up to about 16379. isight_samples() then copies
count frames out of payload-&gt;samples into the PCM DMA buffer.

payload-&gt;samples holds only 2 * MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET values. The
device multiplexes two samples per frame. A count past
MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET reads past the payload. A count past the buffer
size writes past runtime-&gt;dma_area. The smallest PCM buffer is larger
than MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET. Bounding the count to MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET
keeps both the read and the write in range.

A malicious or faulty Apple iSight on the FireWire bus reaches this
during a normal capture.

Add the MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET bound to the gate.

<title>ALSA: firewire-motu: Protect register DSP event queue positions</title>

The register DSP event queue is updated under parser-&gt;lock, but
snd_motu_register_dsp_message_parser_count_event() reads pull_pos and
push_pos without the lock.
snd_motu_register_dsp_message_parser_copy_event() also reads both queue
positions before taking the lock.

Protect these accesses with parser-&gt;lock as well. This keeps the hwdep
poll/read path consistent with the producer side and with the cached
meter/parameter accessors.

<title>ALSA: firewire-tascam: Do not drop unread control events</title>

tscm_hwdep_read_queue() copies as many queued control events as fit in
the userspace buffer. When the buffer is smaller than the current
contiguous queue segment, length is rounded down to the number of bytes
that can be copied.

However, after copying that shortened length, the code advances pull_pos
to the original tail_pos, marking the whole contiguous segment as
consumed. Any events between the copied portion and tail_pos are lost.

Limit tail_pos to the position after the entries actually copied before
updating pull_pos. When the whole segment fits, this is equivalent to the
old tail_pos update; when the buffer is smaller, the remaining events
stay queued for the next read.

<title>ALSA: fireworks: bound device-supplied status before string array lookup</title>

The status field in an EFW response is a 32-bit value supplied by the
firewire device.  efr_status_names[] has 17 entries so a status value
outside that range goes off into the weeds when looking at the %s value.

Even worse, the status could return EFR_STATUS_INCOMPLETE which is
0x80000000, and is obviously not in that array of potential strings.

Fix this up by properly bounding the index against the array size and
printing "unknown" if it's not recognized.

<content type='text'>
Similar to commit d8dc8720468a ("ALSA: firewire-lib: fix uninitialized
local variable"), the local variable `curr_cycle_time` in
process_rx_packets() is declared without initialization.

When the tracepoint event is not probed, the variable may appear to be
used without being initialized. In practice the value is only relevant
when the tracepoint is enabled, however initializing it avoids potential
use of an uninitialized value and improves code safety.

Initialize `curr_cycle_time` to zero.

The use of snprintf() may cause a warning with W=1 due to the possibly
truncated string.  As the truncation doesn't really matter (and won't
happen practically) in the case of dice driver, just shut it up by
replacing with scnprintf().

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

In the IEC 61883-1/6 packet streaming engine, the isochronous context
header stores CIP headers. Previously, the header storage was limited to
PAGE_SIZE, which constrained the maximum PCM buffer size.

There is a function with configurable header size. Now the limitation is
removed.
