Takashi Iwai f388cdcdd1 ALSA: ctl: Stop notification after disconnection
snd_ctl_remove() has a notification for the removal event.  It's
superfluous when done during the device got disconnected.  Although
the notification itself is mostly harmless, it may potentially be
harmful, and should be suppressed.  Actually some components PCM may
free ctl elements during the disconnect or free callbacks, thus it's
no theoretical issue.

This patch adds the check of card->shutdown flag for avoiding
unnecessary notifications after (or during) the disconnect.

Takashi Sakamoto 860c1994a7 ALSA: control: add dimension validator for userspace elements
The 'dimen' field in struct snd_ctl_elem_info is used to compose all of
members in the element as multi-dimensional matrix. The field has four
members. Each member represents the width in each dimension level by
element member unit. For example, if the members consist of typical
two dimensional matrix, the dimen[0] represents the number of rows
and dimen[1] represents the number of columns (or vise-versa).

The total members in the matrix should be exactly the same as the number
of members in the element, while current implementation has no validator
of this information. In a view of userspace applications, the information
must be valid so that it cannot cause any bugs such as buffer-over-run.

This commit adds a validator of dimension information for userspace
applications which add new element sets. When they add the element sets
with wrong dimension information, they receive -EINVAL.

Takashi Sakamoto e1c78df1da ALSA: ctl: fix to handle several elements added by one operation for userspace element
An element instance can have several elements with the same feature.
Some userspace applications can add such an element instance by add
operation with the number of elements. Then, the element instance
gets a memory object to keep states of these elements.

But the element instance has just one memory object for the elements.
This causes the same result to each read/write operations to the
different elements.

This commit fixes this bug by allocating enough memory objects to the
element instance for each of elements.

Takashi Sakamoto 2225e79b9b ALSA: core: reduce stack usage related to snd_ctl_new()
The callers of snd_ctl_new() need to have 'struct snd_kcontrol' data,
and pass the data as template. Then, the function allocates the structure
data again and copy from the template. This is a waste of resources.
Especially, the callers use large stack for the template.

This commit removes a need of template for the function, thus, changes
the prototype of snd_ctl_new(). Furthermore, this commit changes
the code of callers, snd_ctl_new1() and snd_ctl_elem_add() for better
shape.

Lars-Peter Clausen 883a1d49f0 ALSA: control: Make sure that id->index does not overflow
The ALSA control code expects that the range of assigned indices to a control is
continuous and does not overflow. Currently there are no checks to enforce this.
If a control with a overflowing index range is created that control becomes
effectively inaccessible and unremovable since snd_ctl_find_id() will not be
able to find it. This patch adds a check that makes sure that controls with a
overflowing index range can not be created.

Lars-Peter Clausen ac902c112d ALSA: control: Handle numid overflow
Each control gets automatically assigned its numids when the control is created.
The allocation is done by incrementing the numid by the amount of allocated
numids per allocation. This means that excessive creation and destruction of
controls (e.g. via SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_ADD/REMOVE) can cause the id to
eventually overflow. Currently when this happens for the control that caused the
overflow kctl->id.numid + kctl->count will also over flow causing it to be
smaller than kctl->id.numid. Most of the code assumes that this is something
that can not happen, so we need to make sure that it won't happen

Lars-Peter Clausen 82262a4662 ALSA: control: Fix replacing user controls
There are two issues with the current implementation for replacing user
controls. The first is that the code does not check if the control is actually a
user control and neither does it check if the control is owned by the process
that tries to remove it. That allows userspace applications to remove arbitrary
controls, which can cause a user after free if a for example a driver does not
expect a control to be removed from under its feed.

The second issue is that on one hand when a control is replaced the
user_ctl_count limit is not checked and on the other hand the user_ctl_count is
increased (even though the number of user controls does not change). This allows
userspace, once the user_ctl_count limit as been reached, to repeatedly replace
a control until user_ctl_count overflows. Once that happens new controls can be
added effectively bypassing the user_ctl_count limit.

Both issues can be fixed by instead of open-coding the removal of the control
that is to be replaced to use snd_ctl_remove_user_ctl(). This function does
proper permission checks as well as decrements user_ctl_count after the control
has been removed.

Note that by using snd_ctl_remove_user_ctl() the check which returns -EBUSY at
beginning of the function if the control already exists is removed. This is not
a problem though since the check is quite useless, because the lock that is
protecting the control list is released between the check and before adding the
new control to the list, which means that it is possible that a different
control with the same settings is added to the list after the check. Luckily
there is another check that is done while holding the lock in snd_ctl_add(), so
we'll rely on that to make sure that the same control is not added twice.

The user-control put and get handlers as well as the tlv do not protect against
concurrent access from multiple threads. Since the state of the control is not
updated atomically it is possible that either two write operations or a write
and a read operation race against each other. Both can lead to arbitrary memory
disclosure. This patch introduces a new lock that protects user-controls from
concurrent access. Since applications typically access controls sequentially
than in parallel a single lock per card should be fine.

Dimitris Papastamos 66b5b9722b ALSA: Add snd_ctl_replace() to dynamically replace a control
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.

Clemens Ladisch 0e82e5fa97 ALSA: control: clean up snd_ctl_hole_check()
The return value of snd_ctl_hole_check() is used only to detect whether
to continue the loop in snd_ctl_find_hole() or not, so we can simplify
the code by changing this return type to a boolean.  Also rename this
function to better show what it actually does.
