<title>ALSA: vmaster: Return error for invalid input values</title>

<content type='text'>
So far the vmaster code has been tolerant about the input values and
accepts any values by correcting internally.  But now our own selftest
starts complaining about this behavior, so let's be picky and change
the behavior to return -EINVAL for invalid input values instead.

There are common patterns where a temporary buffer is allocated and
freed at the exit, and those can be simplified with the recent cleanup
mechanism via __free(kfree).

No functional changes, only code refactoring.

Each kernel doc comment expects the definition of the return value in
a proper format.  This patch adds or fixes the missing entries for the

<title>ALSA: Replace the word "slave" in vmaster API</title>

<content type='text'>
Follow the recent inclusive terminology guidelines and replace the
word "slave" in vmaster API.  I chose the word "follower" at this time
since it seems fitting for the purpose.

Note that the word "master" is kept in API, since it refers rather to
audio master volume control.

Also, while we're at it, a typo in comments is corrected, too.

Pull overflow updates from Kees Cook:
 "This adds the new overflow checking helpers and adds them to the
  2-factor argument allocators. And this adds the saturating size
  helpers and does a treewide replacement for the struct_size() usage.
  Additionally this adds the overflow testing modules to make sure
  everything works.

  I'm still working on the treewide replacements for allocators with
  "simple" multiplied arguments:

     *alloc(a * b, ...) -&gt; *alloc_array(a, b, ...)

  and

     *zalloc(a * b, ...) -&gt; *calloc(a, b, ...)

  as well as the more complex cases, but that's separable from this
  portion of the series. I expect to have the rest sent before -rc1
  closes; there are a lot of messy cases to clean up.

  Summary:

   - Introduce arithmetic overflow test helper functions (Rasmus)

   - Use overflow helpers in 2-factor allocators (Kees, Rasmus)

   - Introduce overflow test module (Rasmus, Kees)

   - Introduce saturating size helper functions (Matthew, Kees)

   - Treewide use of struct_size() for allocators (Kees)"

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct foo {
    int stuff;
    void *entry[];
};

instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family)
uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the
"CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle
script:

// pkey_cache = kmalloc(sizeof *pkey_cache + tprops-&gt;pkey_tbl_len *
//                      sizeof *pkey_cache-&gt;table, GFP_KERNEL);

Use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() so that we don't need to rely fully
on the slave get() callback to clear the control value that might be
copied to user-space.
