The PCM core should perform the sync for the pending stop operations
at disconnection. Otherwise it may lead to unexpected access.
Currently the old user of sync_stop, USB-audio driver, has its own
sync, so this isn't needed, but it's better to guarantee the sync in
the PCM core level.
This patch adds the missing sync_stop call at PCM disconnection
callback. It also assures the IRQ sync if it's specified in the
card. snd_pcm_sync_stop() is slightly modified to be called also for
any PCM substream object now.

The struct snd_pcm_status will use 'timespec' type variables to record
timestamp, which is not year 2038 safe on 32bits system.
Userspace will use SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS and SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS_EXT
as commands to issue ioctl() to fill the 'snd_pcm_status' structure in
userspace. The command number is always defined through _IOR/_IOW/IORW,
so when userspace changes the definition of 'struct timespec' to use
64-bit types, the command number also changes.
Thus in the kernel, we now need to define two versions of each such ioctl
and corresponding ioctl commands to handle 32bit time_t and 64bit time_t
in native mode:
struct snd_pcm_status32 {
......
s32 trigger_tstamp_sec;
s32 trigger_tstamp_nsec;
......
s32 audio_tstamp_sec;
s32 audio_tstamp_nsec;
......
};
struct snd_pcm_status64 {
......
s32 trigger_tstamp_sec;
s32 trigger_tstamp_nsec;
......
s32 audio_tstamp_sec;
s32 audio_tstamp_nsec;
......
};
Moreover in compat file, we renamed or introduced new structures to handle
32bit/64bit time_t in compatible mode. The 'struct snd_pcm_status32' and
snd_pcm_status_user32() are used to handle 32bit time_t in compat mode.
'struct compat_snd_pcm_status64' and snd_pcm_status_user_compat64() are used
to handle 64bit time_t.
The implicit padding before timespec is made explicit to avoid incompatible
structure layout between 32-bit and 64-bit x86 due to the different
alignment requirements, and the snd_pcm_status structure is now hidden
from the kernel to avoid relying on the timespec definitio definitionn
Finally we can replace SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS and SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS_EXT
with new commands and introduce new functions to fill new 'struct snd_pcm_status64'
instead of using unsafe 'struct snd_pcm_status'. Then in future, the new
commands can be matched when userspace changes 'timespec' to 64bit type
to make a size change of 'struct snd_pcm_status'. When glibc changes time_t
to 64-bit, any recompiled program will issue ioctl commands that the kernel
does not understand without this patch.

snd_malloc_pages() and snd_free_pages() are merely thin wrappers of
the standard page allocator / free functions. Even the arguments are
compatible with some standard helpers, so there is little merit of
keeping these wrappers.
This patch replaces the all existing callers of snd_malloc_pages() and
snd_free_pages() with the direct calls of the standard helper
functions. In this version, we use a recently introduced one,
alloc_pages_exact(), which suits better than the old
snd_malloc_pages() implementation for our purposes. Then we can avoid
the waste of pages by alignment to power-of-two.
Since alloc_pages_exact() does split pages, we need no longer
__GFP_COMP flag; or better to say, we must not pass __GFP_COMP to
alloc_pages_exact(). So the former unconditional addition of
__GFP_COMP flag in snd_malloc_pages() is dropped, as well as in most
other places.

Until now we rely on each driver calling snd_pcm_suspend*() explicitly
at its own PM handling. However, this can be done far more easily by
setting the PM ops to each actual snd_pcm device object.
This patch adds the device_type object for PCM stream and assigns to
each PCM stream object. The type contains only the PM ops for system
suspend; we don't need to deal with the resume in general.
The suspend hook simply calls snd_pcm_suspend_all() for the given PCM
streams. This implies that the PM order is correctly put, i.e. PCM is
suspended before the main (or codec) driver, which should be true in
general. If a special ordering is needed, you'd need to adjust the
device PM order manually later.
This patch introduces a new flag, snd_pcm.no_device_suspend, too.
With this flag set, the PCM device object won't invoke
snd_pcm_suspend_all() by itself. This is needed for ASoC who wants to
manage the PM call orders in its serialized way, and the flag is set
in soc_new_pcm() as default.
For the non-ASoC world, we can get rid of the manual snd_pcm_suspend
calls. This will be done in the later patches.

The PCM runtime object is created and freed dynamically at PCM stream
open / close time. This is tracked via substream->runtime, and it's
cleared at snd_pcm_detach_substream().
The runtime object assignment is protected by PCM open_mutex, so for
all PCM operations, it's safely handled. However, each PCM substream
provides also an ALSA timer interface, and user-space can access to
this while closing a PCM substream. This may eventually lead to a
UAF, as snd_pcm_timer_resolution() tries to access the runtime while
clearing it in other side.
Fortunately, it's the only concurrent access from the PCM timer, and
it merely reads runtime->timer_resolution field. So, we can avoid the
race by reordering kfree() and wrapping the substream->runtime
clearance with the corresponding timer lock.

The internal PCM (aka DPCM backend PCM) doesn't need any registration

callback. Similarly, its counterpart, dev_disconnect callback, is
superfluous for the internal PCM. For simplifying and avoiding the
conflicting disconnect call for internal PCM objects, this patch drops
dev_register and dev_disconnect callbacks for the internal ops.
The only uncertain thing by this action is whether skipping the PCM
state change to SNDRV_PCM_STATE_DISCONNECT for the internal PCM is
mandatory. Looking through the current implementations, this doesn't
look so, hence dropping the whole dev_disconnect would make more

Currently, many PCM operations are performed in a critical section
protected by spinlock, typically the trigger and pointer callbacks are
assumed to be atomic. This is basically because some trigger action
(e.g. PCM stop after drain or xrun) is done in the interrupt handler.
If a driver runs in a threaded irq, however, this doesn't have to be
atomic. And many devices want to handle trigger in a non-atomic
context due to lengthy communications.
This patch tries all PCM calls operational in non-atomic context.
What it does is very simple: replaces the substream spinlock with the
corresponding substream mutex when pcm->nonatomic flag is set. The
driver that wants to use the non-atomic PCM ops just needs to set the
flag and keep the rest as is. (Of course, it must not handle any PCM
ops in irq context.)
Note that the code doesn't check whether it's atomic-safe or not, but
trust in 100% that the driver sets pcm->nonatomic correctly.
One possible problem is the case where linked PCM substreams have
inconsistent nonatomic states. For avoiding this, snd_pcm_link()
returns an error if one tries to link an inconsistent PCM substream.
