The current implementation of ALSA control API fully relies on the
callbacks of each driver, and there is no verification of the values
passed via API. This patch is an attempt to improve the situation
slightly by adding the validation code for the values stored via info
and get callbacks.
The patch adds a new kconfig, CONFIG_SND_CTL_VALIDATION. It depends
on CONFIG_SND_DEBUG and off as default since the validation would
require a slight overhead including the additional call of info
callback at each get callback invocation.
When this config is enabled, the values stored by each info callback
invocation are verified, namely:
- Whether the info type is valid
- Whether the number of enum items is non-zero
- Whether the given info count is within the allowed boundary
Similarly, the values stored at each get callback are verified as
well:
- Whether the values are within the given range
- Whether the values are aligned with the given step
- Whether any further changes are seen in the data array over the
given info count
The last point helps identifying a possibly invalid data type access,
typically a case where the info callback declares the type being
SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_TYPE_ENUMERATED while the get/put callbacks store
the values in value.integer.value[] array.
When a validation fails, the ALSA core logs an error message including
the device and the control ID, and the API call also returns an
error. So, with the new validation turned on, the driver behavior
difference may be visible on user-space, too -- it's intentional,
though, so that we can catch an error more clearly.
The patch also introduces a new ctl access type,
SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_SKIP_CHECK. A driver may pass this flag with
other access bits to indicate that the ctl element won't be verified.
It's useful when a driver code is specially written to access the data
greater than info->count size by some reason. For example, this flag
is actually set now in HD-audio HDMI codec driver which needs to clear
the data array in the case of the disconnected monitor.
Also, the PCM channel-map helper code is slightly modified to avoid
the false-positive hit by this validation code, too.

ALSA: Fix year 2038 issue for sound subsystem
This is a series I worked on with Baolin in 2017 and 2018, but we
never quite managed to finish up the last pieces. During the
ALSA developer meetup at ELC-E 2018 in Edinburgh, a decision was
made to go with this approach for keeping best compatibility
with existing source code, and then I failed to follow up by
resending the patches.
Now I have patches for all remaining time_t uses in the kernel,
so it's absolutely time to revisit them. I have done more
review of the patches myself and found a couple of minor issues
that I have fixed up, otherwise the series is still the same as
before.
Conceptually, the idea of these patches is:
- 64-bit applications should see no changes at all, neither
compile-time nor run-time.
- 32-bit code compiled with a 64-bit time_t currently
does not work with ALSA, and requires kernel changes and/or
sound/asound.h changes
- Most 32-bit code using these interfaces will work correctly
on a modified kernel, with or without the uapi header changes.
- 32-bit code using SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_TREAD requires the
updated header file for 64-bit time_t support
- 32-bit i386 user space with 64-bit time_t is broken for
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS, SNDRV_RAWMIDI_IOCTL_STATUS and
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR because of i386 alignment. This is also
addressed by the updated uapi header.
- PCM mmap is currently supported on native x86 kernels
(both 32-bit and 64-bit) but not for compat mode. This series breaks
the 32-bit native mmap support for 32-bit time_t, but instead allows
it for 64-bit time_t on both native and compat kernels. This seems to
be the best trade-off, as mmap support is optional already, and most
32-bit code runs in compat mode anyway.
- I've tried to avoid breaking compilation of 32-bit code
as much as possible. Anything that does break however is likely code
that is already broken on 64-bit time_t and needs source changes to
fix them.

dts property.
As we're just dropping data, and the early platform data init
is based on the custom ti,hwmods property, we want to drop both
the platform data and ti,hwmods property in a single patch.

ASoC: Fixes for v5.5
A collection of fixes since the merge window, mostly driver specific but
there's a few in the core that clean up fallout from the refactorings
done in the last cycle.
Now most of the get_response handling became quite similar between
HDA-core and legacy drivers, and the only differences are:
- the handling of extra-long polling delay for some codecs
- the debug message for the stalled communication
and both are worth to share in the common code.
This patch unifies the code into snd_hdac_bus_get_response(), and use
this from the legacy get_response callback. It results in a good
amount of code reduction in the end.

The struct snd_pcm_status will use 'timespec' type variables to record
timestamp, which is not year 2038 safe on 32bits system.
Userspace will use SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS and SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS_EXT
as commands to issue ioctl() to fill the 'snd_pcm_status' structure in
userspace. The command number is always defined through _IOR/_IOW/IORW,
so when userspace changes the definition of 'struct timespec' to use
64-bit types, the command number also changes.
Thus in the kernel, we now need to define two versions of each such ioctl
and corresponding ioctl commands to handle 32bit time_t and 64bit time_t
in native mode:
struct snd_pcm_status32 {
......
s32 trigger_tstamp_sec;
s32 trigger_tstamp_nsec;
......
s32 audio_tstamp_sec;
s32 audio_tstamp_nsec;
......
};
struct snd_pcm_status64 {
......
s32 trigger_tstamp_sec;
s32 trigger_tstamp_nsec;
......
s32 audio_tstamp_sec;
s32 audio_tstamp_nsec;
......
};
Moreover in compat file, we renamed or introduced new structures to handle
32bit/64bit time_t in compatible mode. The 'struct snd_pcm_status32' and
snd_pcm_status_user32() are used to handle 32bit time_t in compat mode.
'struct compat_snd_pcm_status64' and snd_pcm_status_user_compat64() are used
to handle 64bit time_t.
The implicit padding before timespec is made explicit to avoid incompatible
structure layout between 32-bit and 64-bit x86 due to the different
alignment requirements, and the snd_pcm_status structure is now hidden
from the kernel to avoid relying on the timespec definitio definitionn
Finally we can replace SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS and SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS_EXT
with new commands and introduce new functions to fill new 'struct snd_pcm_status64'
instead of using unsafe 'struct snd_pcm_status'. Then in future, the new
commands can be matched when userspace changes 'timespec' to 64bit type
to make a size change of 'struct snd_pcm_status'. When glibc changes time_t
to 64-bit, any recompiled program will issue ioctl commands that the kernel
does not understand without this patch.

The HD-audio CORB/RIRB communication was programmed in a way that was
documented in the reference in decades ago, which is essentially a
polling in the waiter side. It's working fine but costs CPU cycles on
some platforms that support only slow communications. Also, for some
platforms that had unreliable communications, we put longer wait time
(2 ms), which accumulate quite long time if you execute many verbs in
a shot (e.g. at the initialization or resume phase).
This patch attempts to improve the situation by introducing the
standard waitqueue in the RIRB waiter side instead of polling. The
test results on my machine show significant improvements. The time
spent for "cat /proc/asound/card*/codec#*" were changed like:
* Intel SKL + Realtek codec
before the patch:
0.00user 0.04system 0:00.10elapsed 40.0%CPU
after the patch:
0.00user 0.01system 0:00.10elapsed 10.0%CPU
* Nvidia GP107GL + Nvidia HDMI codec
before the patch:
0.00user 0.00system 0:02.76elapsed 0.0%CPU
after the patch:
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.01elapsed 17.0%CPU
So, for Intel chips, the total time is same, while the total time is
greatly reduced (from 2.76 to 0.01s) for Nvidia chips.
The only negative data here is the increase of CPU time for Nvidia,
but this is the unavoidable cost for faster wakeups, supposedly.

The recent commit in HD-audio stream management for changing the
stripe control seems causing a regression on some platforms. The
stripe control is currently used only by HDMI codec, and applying the
stripe mask unconditionally may lead to scratchy and static noises as
seen on some MacBooks.
For addressing the regression, this patch changes the stream
management code to apply the stripe mask conditionally only when the
codec driver requested.

Many PCI and other drivers performs snd_pcm_period_elapsed() simply in
its interrupt handler, so the sync_stop operation is just to call
synchronize_irq(). Instead of putting this call multiple times,
introduce the common card->sync_irq field. When this field is set,
PCM core performs synchronize_irq() for sync-stop operation. Each
driver just needs to copy its local IRQ number to card->sync_irq, and
that's all we need.

The standard programming model of a PCM sound driver is to process
snd_pcm_period_elapsed() from an interrupt handler. When a running
stream is stopped, PCM core calls the trigger-STOP PCM ops, sets the
stream state to SETUP, and moves on to the next step. This is
performed in an atomic manner -- this could be called from the interrupt
context, after all.
The problem is that, if the stream goes further and reaches to the
CLOSE state immediately, the stream might be still being processed in
snd_pcm_period_elapsed() in the interrupt context, and hits a NULL
dereference. Such a crash happens because of the atomic operation,
and we can't wait until the stream-stop finishes.
For addressing such a problem, this commit adds a new PCM ops,
sync_stop. This gets called at the appropriate places that need a
sync with the stream-stop, i.e. at hw_params, prepare and hw_free.
Some drivers already have a similar mechanism implemented locally, and
we'll refactor the code later.

This patch adds the support for the feature to automatically allocate
and free PCM buffers, so called "managed buffer allocation" mode.
It's set up via new PCM helpers, snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer() and
snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer_all(), both of which correspond to the
existing preallocator helpers, snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages() and
snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages_for_all(). When the new helper is used,
it not only performs the pre-allocation of buffers, but also it
manages to call snd_pcm_lib_malloc_pages() before the PCM hw_params
ops and snd_lib_pcm_free() after the PCM hw_free ops inside PCM core,
respectively. This allows drivers to drop the explicit calls of the
memory allocation / release functions, and it will be a good amount of
code reduction in the end of this patch series.
When the PCM substream is set to the managed buffer allocation mode,
the managed_buffer_alloc flag is set in the substream object. Since
some drivers want to know when a buffer is newly allocated or
re-allocated at hw_params callback (e.g. want to set up the additional
stuff for the given buffer only at allocation time), now PCM core
turns on buffer_changed flag when the buffer has changed.
The standard conversions to use the new API will be straightforward:
- Replace snd_pcm_lib_preallocate*() calls with the corresponding
snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer*(); the arguments should be unchanged
- Drop superfluous snd_pcm_lib_malloc() and snd_pcm_lib_free() calls;
the check of snd_pcm_lib_malloc() returns should be replaced with
the check of runtime->buffer_changed flag.
- If hw_params or hw_free becomes empty, drop them from PCM ops

When a new timer instance is created and assigned to the active link
in snd_timer_open(), the caller still doesn't (can't) set its callback
and callback data. In both the user-timer and the sequencer-timer
code, they do manually set up the callbacks after calling
snd_timer_open(). This has a potential risk of race when the timer
instance is added to the already running timer target, as the callback
might get triggered during setting up the callback itself.
This patch tries to address it by changing the API usage slightly:
- An empty timer instance is created at first via the new function
snd_timer_instance_new(). This object isn't linked to the timer
list yet.
- The caller sets up the callbacks and others stuff for the new timer
instance.
- The caller invokes snd_timer_open() with this instance, so that it's
linked to the target timer.
For closing, do similarly:
- Call snd_timer_close(). This unlinks the timer instance from the
timer list.
- Free the timer instance via snd_timer_instance_free() after that.
