      ALSA: emu10k1: Fix potential Spectre v1 vulnerabilities · 5ae4f61f
      Gustavo A. R. Silva authored
      ipcm->substream is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
      a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
      
      This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
      
      sound/pci/emu10k1/emufx.c:1031 snd_emu10k1_ipcm_poke() warn: potential spectre issue 'emu->fx8010.pcm' [r] (local cap)
      sound/pci/emu10k1/emufx.c:1075 snd_emu10k1_ipcm_peek() warn: potential spectre issue 'emu->fx8010.pcm' [r] (local cap)
      
      Fix this by sanitizing ipcm->substream before using it to index emu->fx8010.pcm
      
      Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
      to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
      completed with a dependent load/store [1].

      info->channel is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
      a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
      
      This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
      
      sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:4100 snd_hdsp_channel_info() warn: potential spectre issue 'hdsp->channel_map' [r] (local cap)
      
      Fix this by sanitizing info->channel before using it to index hdsp->channel_map

      to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
      completed with a dependent load/store [1].
      
      Also, notice that I refactored the code a bit in order to get rid of the
      following checkpatch warning:
      
      ERROR: do not use assignment in if condition
      FILE: sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:4103:
      	if ((mapped_channel = hdsp->channel_map[info->channel]) < 0)
