ALSA: ctl: Fix copy of updated id with element read/write

2021-12-02T15:41:07+00:00

When control_compat.c:copy_ctl_value_to_user() is used, by
ctl_elem_read_user() & ctl_elem_write_user(), it must also copy back the
snd_ctl_elem_id value that may have been updated (filled in) by the call
to snd_ctl_elem_read/snd_ctl_elem_write().

This matches the functionality provided by snd_ctl_elem_read_user() and
snd_ctl_elem_write_user(), via snd_ctl_build_ioff().

Without this, and without making additional calls to snd_ctl_info()
which are unnecessary when using the non-compat calls, a userspace
application will not know the numid value for the element and
consequently will not be able to use the poll/read interface on the
control file to determine which elements have updates.

ALSA: control: Drop superfluous snd_power_wait() calls

2021-05-25T06:48:49+00:00

Now we have more fine-grained power controls in each kcontrol ops, the
coarse checks of snd_power_wait() in a few control ioctls became
superfluous.  Let's drop them.

ALSA: control: Track in-flight control read/write/tlv accesses

2021-05-25T06:48:28+00:00

Although the power state check is performed in various places (e.g. at
the entrance of quite a few ioctls), there can be still some pending
tasks that already went into the ioctl handler or other ops, and those
may access the hardware even after the power state check.  For
example, kcontrol access ioctl paths that call info/get/put callbacks
may update the hardware registers.  If a system wants to assure the
free from such hw access (like the case of PCI rescan feature we're
going to implement in future), this situation must be avoided, and we
have to sync such in-flight tasks finishing beforehand.

For that purpose, this patch introduces a few new things in core code:
- A refcount, power_ref, and a wait queue, power_ref_sleep, to the
  card object
- A few new helpers, snd_power_ref(), snd_power_unref(),
  snd_power_ref_and_wait(), and snd_power_sync_ref()

In the code paths that call kctl info/read/write/tlv ops, we check the
power state with the newly introduced snd_power_ref_and_wait().  This
function also takes the card.power_ref refcount for tracking this
in-flight task.  Once after the access finishes, snd_power_unref() is
called to released the refcount in return.  So the driver can sync via
snd_power_sync_ref() assuring that all in-flight tasks have been
finished.

As of this patch, snd_power_sync_ref() is called only at
snd_card_disconnect(), but it'll be used in other places in future.

Note that atomic_t is used for power_ref intentionally instead of
refcount_t.  It's because of the design of refcount_t type; refcount_t
cannot be zero-based, and it cannot do dec_and_test() call for
multiple times, hence it's not suitable for our purpose.

Also, this patch changes snd_power_wait() to accept only
SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D0, which is the only value that makes sense.
In later patch, the snd_power_wait() calls will be cleaned up.

ALSA: compat_ioctl: avoid compat_alloc_user_space

2020-09-21T08:37:07+00:00

Using compat_alloc_user_space() tends to add complexity
to the ioctl handling, so I am trying to remove it everywhere.

The two callers in sound/core can rewritten to just call
the same code that operates on a kernel pointer as the
native handler.

treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage

2020-07-16T19:35:15+00:00

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

ALSA: control: fix a redundant-copy issue

2018-05-13T07:27:57+00:00

In snd_ctl_elem_add_compat(), the fields of the struct 'data' need to be
copied from the corresponding fields of the struct 'data32' in userspace.
This is achieved by invoking copy_from_user() and get_user() functions. The
problem here is that the 'type' field is copied twice. One is by
copy_from_user() and one is by get_user(). Given that the 'type' field is
not used between the two copies, the second copy is *completely* redundant
and should be removed for better performance and cleanup. Also, these two
copies can cause inconsistent data: as the struct 'data32' resides in
userspace and a malicious userspace process can race to change the 'type'
field between the two copies to cause inconsistent data. Depending on how
the data is used in the future, such an inconsistency may cause potential
security risks.

For above reasons, we should take out the second copy.

ALSA: Get rid of card power_lock

2017-08-30T18:44:29+00:00

Currently we're taking power_lock at each card component for assuring
the power-up sequence, but it doesn't help anything in the
implementation at the moment: it just serializes unnecessarily the
callers, but it doesn't protect about the power state change itself.
It used to have some usefulness in the early days where we managed the
PM manually.  But now the suspend/resume core procedure is beyond our
hands, and power_lock lost its meaning.

This patch drops the power_lock from allover the places.
There shouldn't be any issues by this change, as it's no helper
regarding the power state change.  Rather we'll get better performance
by removing the serialization; which is the only slight concern of any
behavior change, but it can't be a showstopper, after all.

ALSA: ctl: change return value in compatibility layer so that it's the same value in core implementation

2016-03-17T13:11:36+00:00

In control compatibility layer, when no elements are found by
ELEM_READ/ELEM_WRITE ioctl commands, ENXIO is returned. On the other hand,
in core implementation, ENOENT is returned. This is not good for
ALSA ctl applications.

This commit changes the return value from the compatibility layer so
that the same value is returned.

ALSA: ctl: Fix ioctls for X32 ABI

2016-02-28T16:43:54+00:00

The X32 ABI takes the same alignment like x86-64, and this may result
in the incompatible struct size from ia32.  Unfortunately, we hit this
in some control ABI: struct snd_ctl_elem_value differs between them
due to the position of 64bit variable array.  This ends up with the
unknown ioctl (ENOTTY) error.

The fix is to add the compat entries for the new aligned struct.
