In the commit 62ba568f7aef ("ALSA: pcm: Return 0 when size &lt;
start_threshold in capture"), we changed the behavior of
__snd_pcm_lib_xfer() to return immediately with 0 when a capture
stream has a high start_threshold.  This was intended to be a
correction of the behavior consistency and looked harmless, but this
was the culprit of the recent breakage reported by syzkaller, which
was fixed by the commit e190161f96b8 ("ALSA: pcm: Fix tight loop of
OSS capture stream").

At the time for the OSS fix, I didn't touch the behavior for ALSA
native API, as assuming that this behavior actually is good.  But this
turned out to be also broken actually for a similar deployment,
e.g. one thread goes to a write loop in blocking mode while another
thread controls the start/stop of the stream manually.

Overall, the original commit is harmful, and it brings less merit to
keep that behavior.  Let's revert it.

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.)

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.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

The problem is seen in the q6asm_dai_compr_set_params() function:

	ret = q6asm_map_memory_regions(dir, prtd-&gt;audio_client, prtd-&gt;phys,
				       (prtd-&gt;pcm_size / prtd-&gt;periods),
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
				       prtd-&gt;periods);

In this code prtd-&gt;pcm_size is the buffer_size and prtd-&gt;periods comes
from params-&gt;buffer.fragments.  If we allow the number of fragments to
be zero then it results in a divide by zero bug.  One possible fix would
be to use prtd-&gt;pcm_count directly instead of using the division to
re-calculate it.  But I decided that it doesn't really make sense to
allow zero fragments.

ASoC: Updates for v4.21

Not much work on the core this time around but we've seen quite a bit of
driver work, including on the generic DT drivers.  There's also a large
part of the diff from a merge of the DaVinci and OMAP directories, along
with some active development there:

 - Preparatory work from Morimoto-san for merging the audio-graph and
   audio-graph-scu cards.
 - A merge of the TI OMAP and DaVinci directories, the OMAP product line
   has been merged into the DaVinci product line so there is now a lot
   of IP sharing which meant that the split directories just got in the
   way.  This has pulled in a few architecture changes as well.
 - A big cleanup of the Maxim MAX9867 driver from Ladislav Michl.
 - Support for Asahi Kaesi AKM4118, AMD ACP3x, Intel platforms with
   RT5660, Meson AXG S/PDIF inputs, several Qualcomm IPs and Xilinx I2S
   controllers.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

sound/core/pcm.c:140 snd_pcm_control_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'pcm-&gt;streams' [r] (local cap)

Fix this by sanitizing stream before using it to index pcm-&gt;streams

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
