this patch adds a new variant for snd_ctl_find_*() helpers:

ALSA: control: Introduce unlocked version for snd_ctl_find_*() helpers

For reducing the unnecessary use of controls_rwsem in the drivers,
this patch adds a new variant for snd_ctl_find_*() helpers:
snd_ctl_find_id_locked() and snd_ctl_find_numid_locked() look for a
kctl element inside the card->controls_rwsem -- that is, doing the
very same as what snd_ctl_find_id() and snd_ctl_find_numid() did until
now. snd_ctl_find_id() and snd_ctl_find_numid() remain same,
i.e. still unlocked version, but they will be switched to locked
version once after all callers are replaced.

The patch also replaces the calls of snd_ctl_find_id() and
snd_ctl_find_numid() in a few places; all of those are places where we
know that the functions are called properly with controls_rwsem held.
All others are without rwsem (although they should have been).

After this patch, we'll turn on the locking in snd_ctl_find_id() and
snd_ctl_find_numid() to be more race-free.

ALSA: control - add generic LED trigger module as the new control layer

The recent laptops have usually two LEDs assigned to reflect
the speaker and microphone mute state. This implementation
adds a tiny layer on top of the control API which calculates
the state for those LEDs using the driver callbacks.

Two new access flags are introduced to describe the controls
which affects the audio path settings (an easy code change
for drivers).

The LED resource can be shared with multiple sound cards with
this code. The user space controls may be added to the state
chain on demand, too.

This code should replace the LED code in the HDA driver and
add a possibility to easy extend the other drivers (ASoC
codecs etc.).

ALSA: make snd_kcontrol_new name a normal string

When building with W=2, there are lots of warnings about the
snd_kcontrol_new name field being an array of 'unsigned char'
but initialized to a string:

include/sound/soc.h:93:48: warning: pointer targets in initialization of 'const unsigned char *' from 'char *' differ in signedness [-Wpointer-sign]

Make it a regular 'char *' to avoid flooding the build log with this.

ALSA: Replace the word "slave" in vmaster API

Follow the recent inclusive terminology guidelines and replace the
word "slave" in vmaster API. I chose the word "follower" at this time
since it seems fitting for the purpose.

Note that the word "master" is kept in API, since it refers rather to
audio master volume control.

Also, while we're at it, a typo in comments is corrected, too.

ALSA: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

ALSA: control: Add verification for kctl accesses

The current implementation of ALSA control API fully relies on the
callbacks of each driver, and there is no verification of the values
passed via API. This patch is an attempt to improve the situation
slightly by adding the validation code for the values stored via info
and get callbacks.

The patch adds a new kconfig, CONFIG_SND_CTL_VALIDATION. It depends
on CONFIG_SND_DEBUG and off as default since the validation would
require a slight overhead including the additional call of info
callback at each get callback invocation.

When this config is enabled, the values stored by each info callback
invocation are verified, namely:
- Whether the info type is valid
- Whether the number of enum items is non-zero
- Whether the given info count is within the allowed boundary

Similarly, the values stored at each get callback are verified as
well:
- Whether the values are within the given range
- Whether the values are aligned with the given step
- Whether any further changes are seen in the data array over the
given info count

The last point helps identifying a possibly invalid data type access,
typically a case where the info callback declares the type being
SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_TYPE_ENUMERATED while the get/put callbacks store
the values in value.integer.value[] array.

When a validation fails, the ALSA core logs an error message including
the device and the control ID, and the API call also returns an
error. So, with the new validation turned on, the driver behavior
difference may be visible on user-space, too -- it's intentional,
though, so that we can catch an error more clearly.

The patch also introduces a new ctl access type,
SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_SKIP_CHECK. A driver may pass this flag with
other access bits to indicate that the ctl element won't be verified.
It's useful when a driver code is specially written to access the data
greater than info->count size by some reason. For example, this flag
is actually set now in HD-audio HDMI codec driver which needs to clear
the data array in the case of the disconnected monitor.

Also, the PCM channel-map helper code is slightly modified to avoid
the false-positive hit by this validation code, too.

ALSA: control: Hardening for potential Spectre v1

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.
