It is normal user behaviour to start, stop, then start a stream again without closing it. Currently this works for compressed playback streams but not capture ones. The states on a compressed capture stream go directly from OPEN to PREPARED, unlike a playback stream which moves to SETUP and waits for a write of data before moving to PREPARED. Currently however, when a stop is sent the state is set to SETUP for both types of streams. This leaves a capture stream in the situation where a new start can't be sent as that requires the state to be PREPARED and a new set_params can't be sent as that requires the state to be OPEN. The only option being to close the stream, and then reopen. Correct this issues by allowing snd_compr_drain_notify to set the state depending on the stream direction, as we already do in set_params.

This patch adds the T+A VID to the generic check in order to enable native DSD support for T+A devices. This works with the new T+A USB DAC model SD3100HV and will also work with future devices which support the XMOS/Thesycon style DSD format.

In the current code, the codec registration may happen both at the codec bind time and the end of the controller probe time. In a rare occasion, they race with each other, leading to Oops due to the still uninitialized card device. This patch introduces a simple flag to prevent the codec registration at the codec bind time as long as the controller probe is going on. The controller probe invokes snd_card_register() that does the whole registration task, and we don't need to register each piece beforehand.

On the System76 Darter Pro (darp5), there is a headset microphone input attached to 0x1a that does not have a jack detect. In order to get it working, the pin configuration needs to be set correctly, and the ALC269_FIXUP_HEADSET_MODE_NO_HP_MIC fixup needs to be applied. This is similar to the MIC_NO_PRESENCE fixups for some Dell laptops, except we have a separate microphone jack that is already configured correctly.

Fix hp_pin always no value. [More notes on the changes: The hp_pin value that is referred in alc294_hp_init() is always zero at the moment the function gets called, hence this is actually useless as in the current code. And, this kind of init sequence should be called from the codec init callback, instead of the parser function. So, the first fix in this patch to move the call call into its own init_hook. OTOH, this function is needed to be called only once after the boot, and it'd take too long for invoking at each resume (where the init callback gets called). So we add a new flag and invoke this only once as an additional fix. The one case is still not covered, though: S4 resume. But this change itself won't lead to any regression in that regard, so we leave S4 issue as is for now and fix it later. -- tiwai ] Fixes: bde1a745 ("ALSA: hda/realtek - Fixed headphone issue for ALC700") Signed-off-by: Kailang Yang <kailang@realtek.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

When the trigger=off is passed for a PCM OSS stream, it sets the start_threshold of the given substream to the boundary size, so that it won't be automatically started. This can be problematic for a capture stream, unfortunately, as detected by syzkaller. The scenario is like the following: - In __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() that is invoked from snd_pcm_oss_read() loop, we have a check whether the stream was already started or the stream can be auto-started. - The function at this check returns 0 with trigger=off since we explicitly disable the auto-start. - The loop continues and repeats calling __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() tightly, which may lead to an RCU stall. This patch fixes the bug by simply allowing the wait for non-started stream in the case of OSS capture. For native usages, it's supposed to be done by the caller side (which is user-space), hence it returns zero like before. (In theory, __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() could wait even for the native API usage cases, too; but I'd like to stay in a safer side for not breaking the existing stuff for now.)

Merge tag 'asoc-fix-v5.0-rc2' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-linus ASoC: Fixes for v5.0 Quite a big batch of fixes here. There's a couple of things going on, the main one is that we found some issues with not deferring probe when we should, causing us to skip some driver initialization. The fixes for this then in turn exposed some issues with how we were searching for components which had previously gone unnoticed due to the original issue. There's also been the normal driver specific stuff and there's been what looks like several batches of automated scanning for issues which have generated quite a large set of smaller fixes for potential crashes and missed error handling.

Check return value from call to devm_kzalloc() in order to prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference. Also, notice that it makes no sense to allocate any resources if res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0); fails, so move the call to devm_kzalloc() below the mentioned code. Lastly, improve the use of sizeof in the call to devm_kzalloc() by changing it from sizeof(struct i2s_dev_data) to sizeof(*adata) This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Change snprintf to scnprintf. There are generally two cases where using snprintf causes problems. 1) Uses of size += snprintf(buf, SIZE - size, fmt, ...) In this case, if snprintf would have written more characters than what the buffer size (SIZE) is, then size will end up larger than SIZE. In later uses of snprintf, SIZE - size will result in a negative number, leading to problems. Note that size might already be too large by using size = snprintf before the code reaches a case of size += snprintf. 2) If size is ultimately used as a length parameter for a copy back to user space, then it will potentially allow for a buffer overflow and information disclosure when size is greater than SIZE. When the size is used to index the buffer directly, we can have memory corruption. This also means when size = snprintf... is used, it may also cause problems since size may become large. Copying to userspace is mitigated by the HARDENED_USERCOPY kernel configuration. The solution to these issues is to use scnprintf which returns the number of characters actually written to the buffer, so the size variable will never exceed SIZE.

cpu and platform are optional components in DAI links. For example codec-codec links usually have no platform set. Call snd_soc_find_component only if the name or of_node of a cpu or platform is set. Otherwise it will return NULL and soc_init_dai_link bails out immediately with -EPROBE_DEFER, meaning registering a card with NULL cpu or platform in DAI links can never succeed.

There are some use cases where you're checking for a lot of things on a card and it makes sense that you might end up trying to call snd_soc_find_component() without either a name or an of_node. Currently in that case we try to dereference the name and crash but it's more useful to allow the caller to just treat that as a case where we don't find anything, that error handling will already exist.

snd_soc_init_platform initializes pointers to snd_soc_dai_link which is statically allocated and it does this by devm_kzalloc. In the event of an EPROBE_DEFER the memory will be freed and the pointers are left dangling. snd_soc_init_platform sees the dangling pointers and assumes they are pointing to initialized memory and does not reallocate them on the second probe attempt which results in a use after free bug since devm has freed the memory from the first probe attempt. Since the intention for snd_soc_dai_link->platform is that it can be set statically by the machine driver we need to respect the pointer in the event we did not set it but still catch dangling pointers. The solution is to add a flag to track whether the pointer was dynamically allocated or not. Signed-off-by: Curtis Malainey <cujomalainey@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>

Since the refactoring of HD-audio display power management, the display power status is managed per domain. Meanwhile the ASoC hdac_hdmi driver still keeps and relies (incorrectly) on the refcounting together with ASoC skl driver, and this leads to the display state always on. This patch is an attempt to address the regression by simplifying the PM code of ASoC skl and hdac_hdmi drivers. Basically, since the refactoring, we don't have to manage the display power at HD-audio controller suspend / resume but only at HD-audio HDMI codec suspend / resume. So the patch drops the superfluous snd_hdac_display_power() calls in skl driver. Meanwhile, in hdac_hdmi side, we rewrite the PM call just to re-use the runtime PM callbacks like other drivers do. Now the logic is simple: turn off at suspend and turn on at resume. The patch also fixes the possibly missing display-power off at skl driver removal as well as some error paths at probe.

During the bootup of the kernel, the DAPM bias level is in the OFF state. As soon as the DAPM framework kicks in it pushes the codec into STANDBY state. The probe function doesn't prepare the clock, and STANDBY state does a clk_disable_unprepare() without checking the previous state. This leads to an OOPS. Not transitioning from an OFF state to the STANDBY state fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: b-ak <anur.bhargav@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

This patch addresses these missing checks. Most of added codes are simple bLength checks in the caller side.

We've had some sanity checks of the mixer unit descriptors but they are too loose and some corner cases are overlooked. Add more strict checks in uac_mixer_unit_get_channels() for avoiding possible OOB accesses by malformed descriptors. This also changes the semantics of uac_mixer_unit_get_channels() slightly. Now it returns zero for the cases where the descriptor lacks of bmControls instead of -EINVAL. Then the caller side skips the mixer creation for such unit while it keeps parsing it. This corresponds to the case like Maya44. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

The semantics of what "in core" means for the mincore() system call are somewhat unclear, but Linux has always (since 2.3.52, which is when mincore() was initially done) treated it as "page is available in page cache" rather than "page is mapped in the mapping". The problem with that traditional semantic is that it exposes a lot of system cache state that it really probably shouldn't, and that users shouldn't really even care about. So let's try to avoid that information leak by simply changing the semantics to be that mincore() counts actual mapped pages, not pages that might be cheaply mapped if they were faulted (note the "might be" part of the old semantics: being in the cache doesn't actually guarantee that you can access them without IO anyway, since things like network filesystems may have to revalidate the cache before use). In many ways the old semantics were somewhat insane even aside from the information leak issue. From the very beginning (and that beginning is a long time ago: 2.3.52 was released in March 2000, I think), the code had a comment saying Later we can get more picky about what "in core" means precisely. and this is that "later". Admittedly it is much later than is really comfortable. NOTE! This is a real semantic change, and it is for example known to change the output of "fincore", since that program literally does a mmmap without populating it, and then doing "mincore()" on that mapping that doesn't actually have any pages in it. I'm hoping that nobody actually has any workflow that cares, and the info leak is real. We may have to do something different if it turns out that people have valid reasons to want the old semantics, and if we can limit the information leak sanely.

Commit 594cc251 ("make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()'") broke both alpha and SH booting in qemu, as noticed by Guenter Roeck. It turns out that the bug wasn't actually in that commit itself (which would have been surprising: it was mostly a no-op), but in how the addition of access_ok() to the strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user() functions now triggered the case where those functions would test the access of the very last byte of the user address space. The string functions actually did that user range test before too, but they did it manually by just comparing against user_addr_max(). But with user_access_begin() doing the check (using "access_ok()"), it now exposed problems in the architecture implementations of that function. For example, on alpha, the access_ok() helper macro looked like this: #define __access_ok(addr, size) \ ((get_fs().seg & (addr | size | (addr+size))) == 0) and what it basically tests is of any of the high bits get set (the USER_DS masking value is 0xfffffc0000000000). And that's completely wrong for the "addr+size" check. Because it's off-by-one for the case where we check to the very end of the user address space, which is exactly what the strn*_user() functions do. Why? Because "addr+size" will be exactly the size of the address space, so trying to access the last byte of the user address space will fail the __access_ok() check, even though it shouldn't. As a result, the user string accessor functions failed consistently - because they literally don't know how long the string is going to be, and the max access is going to be that last byte of the user address space. Side note: that alpha macro is buggy for another reason too - it re-uses the arguments twice. And SH has another version of almost the exact same bug: #define __addr_ok(addr) \ ((unsigned long __force)(addr) < current_thread_info()->addr_limit.seg) so far so good: yes, a user address must be below the limit. But then: #define __access_ok(addr, size) \ (__addr_ok((addr) + (size))) is wrong with the exact same off-by-one case: the case when "addr+size" is exactly _equal_ to the limit is actually perfectly fine (think "one byte access at the last address of the user address space") The SH version is actually seriously buggy in another way: it doesn't actually check for overflow, even though it did copy the _comment_ that talks about overflow. So it turns out that both SH and alpha actually have completely buggy implementations of access_ok(), but they happened to work in practice (although the SH overflow one is a serious serious security bug, not that anybody likely cares about SH security). This fixes the problems by using a similar macro on both alpha and SH. It isn't trying to be clever, the end address is based on this logic: unsigned long __ao_end = __ao_a + __ao_b - !!__ao_b; which basically says "add start and length, and then subtract one unless the length was zero". We can't subtract one for a zero length, or we'd just hit an underflow instead. For a lot of access_ok() users the length is a constant, so this isn't actually as expensive as it initially looks.
