ALSA: control: Hardening for potential Spectre v1

2018-10-21T07:45:42+00:00

commit 088e861edffb84879cf0c0d1b02eda078c3a0ffe upstream. As recently Smatch suggested, a few places in ALSA control core codes may expand the array directly from the user-space value with speculation: sound/core/control.c:1003 snd_ctl_elem_lock() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl->vd' sound/core/control.c:1031 snd_ctl_elem_unlock() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl->vd' sound/core/control.c:844 snd_ctl_elem_info() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl->vd' sound/core/control.c:891 snd_ctl_elem_read() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl->vd' sound/core/control.c:939 snd_ctl_elem_write() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl->vd' Although all these seem doing only the first load without further reference, we may want to stay in a safer side, so hardening with array_index_nospec() would still make sense. In this patch, we put array_index_nospec() to the common snd_ctl_get_ioff*() helpers instead of each caller. These helpers are also referred from some drivers, too, and basically all usages are to calculate the array index from the user-space value, hence it's better to cover there.

ALSA: vmaster: Add snd_ctl_sync_vmaster() helper function

2013-06-24T13:51:54+00:00

Introduce a new helper function, snd_ctl_sync_vmaster(), which updates the slave put callbacks forcibly as well as calling the hook. This will be used in the upcoming patch in HD-audio codec driver for toggling the mute in vmaster slaves. Along with the new function, the old snd_ctl_sync_vmaster_hook() is replaced as a macro calling with the argument hook_only=true. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: add/change some comments describing function return values

2013-03-12T07:32:53+00:00

script/kernel-doc reports the following type of warnings (when run in verbose mode): Warning(sound/core/init.c:152): No description found for return value of 'snd_card_create' To fix that: - add missing descriptions of function return values - use "Return:" sections to describe those return values Along the way: - complete some descriptions - fix some typos Signed-off-by: Yacine Belkadi Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: Add a hook capability to vmaster controls

2012-03-12T12:58:54+00:00

This patch adds a hook to vmaster control to be called at each time when the master value is changed. It'd be handy for an additional mute LED control following the Master switch, for example. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: core: Constify the name in new kcontrols

2012-02-17T16:09:48+00:00

We never modify it and this lets us use a const string as the name without warnings. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown Reviewed-by: Takashi Iwai Acked-by: Liam Girdwood

ALSA: Introduce common helper functions for jack-detection control

2011-11-16T10:14:03+00:00

Now move the helper function for creating and reporting the jack-detection to the common place. The driver that needs this functionality should select CONFIG_SND_KCTL_JACK kconfig. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: Add snd_ctl_replace() to dynamically replace a control

2011-03-22T12:22:39+00:00

Add a function to dynamically replace a given control. If the control does not already exist, a third parameter is used to determine whether to actually add that control. This is useful in cases where downloadable firmware at runtime can add or replace existing controls. A separate patch needs to be made to allow ALSA Mixer to render the replaced controls on the fly.
