<content type='text'>
Since no complaints have been raised after disabling the build of OSS
(Open Sound System) by the commit 31cbee6a5611 ("sound: Disable the
build of OSS drivers"), let's finally drop the whole code and
documentation.

Some glue codes are still left intact since sound/oss/dmasound stuff
remains -- which is an independent implementation solely for m68k, and
it's not covered by ALSA yet.

Also, a couple of API header files (linux/sound.h and
linux/soundcard.h) are kept remaining as well, since the OSS API
itself is still supported by ALSA OSS emulation, and applications can
refer to these.

Where we're at it, some help texts in the top-level Kconfig are
adjusted, too (who still needs to specify I/O port in kbuild
nowadays?).

Most of it duplicates function tracing and one
of them has an uncompilable printf %P use.
Others have format/argument mismatches.

Remove unused DBG1 macro definition

Neaten uart401.c use of ok test around this
DBG macro removal.

<title>sound: Use sound_register_*() for additional OSS minor devices</title>

<id>urn:sha1:848669da3a92fa6ab815e0517af3294afb3ea928</id>
<content type='text'>
Since OSS driver creates the device entries for /dev/audio* and
/dev/dspW* by itself without coping with sound_core, it leads to
conflicts with others and let sysfs spewing warnings.

This patch rewrites the registration part of OSS driver to use
the standard method also for additional minor devices.

<title>sound: Prevent buffer overflow in OSS load_mixer_volumes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d81a12bc29ae4038770e05dce4ab7f26fd5880fb</id>
<content type='text'>
The load_mixer_volumes() function, which can be triggered by
unprivileged users via the SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS ioctl, is vulnerable to
a buffer overflow.  Because the provided "name" argument isn't
guaranteed to be NULL terminated at the expected 32 bytes, it's possible
to overflow past the end of the last element in the mixer_vols array.
Further exploitation can result in an arbitrary kernel write (via
subsequent calls to load_mixer_volumes()) leading to privilege
escalation, or arbitrary kernel reads via get_mixer_levels().  In
addition, the strcmp() may leak bytes beyond the mixer_vols array.

We shouldn't return directly here because we're still holding the
&amp;soundcard_mutex.

This bug goes all the way back to the start of git.  It's strange that
no one has complained about it as a runtime bug.

<title>sound: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex</title>

<id>urn:sha1:645ef9ef1fc0ff70456495b1e21d3420b7b08541</id>
<content type='text'>
The usage of the BKL in the OSS sound drivers is
trivial, and each of them only locks against itself,
so it can be turned into per-driver mutexes.

This is the script that was used for the conversion:

file=$1
name=$2
if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then
    if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then
            sed -i '/include.*&lt;linux\/smp_lock.h&gt;/d' ${file}
    else
            sed -i 's/include.*&lt;linux\/smp_lock.h&gt;.*$/include &lt;linux\/mutex.h&gt;/g' ${file}
    fi
    sed -i ${file} \
        -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ {
                1,/^\(static\|int\|long\)/ {
                     /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex);

} }"  \
    -e "s/\(un\)*lock_kernel\&gt;[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&amp;${name}_mutex)/g" \
    -e '/[      ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d'
else
    sed -i -e '/include.*\&lt;smp_lock.h\&gt;/d' ${file}  \
                -e '/cycle_kernel_lock()/d'
fi

This moves the lock_kernel() call from soundcore_open
to the individual OSS device drivers, where we can deal
with it one driver at a time if needed, or just kill
off the drivers.

All core components in ALSA already provide
adequate locking in their open()-functions
and do not require the big kernel lock, so
there is no need to add the BKL there.
