Although a similar issue was spotted and a fix patch was merged in
commit [6b760bb2c6: ALSA: timer: fix division by zero after
SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_CONTINUE], it seems covering only a part of
iceberg.
In this patch, we fix the issue a bit more drastically. Basically the
continue of an uninitialized timer is supposed to be a fresh start, so
we do it for user timers. For the direct snd_timer_continue() call,
there is no way to pass the initial tick value, so we kick out for the
uninitialized case.

There are a couple of problems that I can see:
- ioctl(SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_SELECT), which potentially sets
tu->queue/tu->tqueue to NULL on memory allocation failure, so read()
would get a NULL pointer dereference like the above splat
- the same ioctl() can free tu->queue/to->tqueue which means read()
could potentially see (and dereference) the freed pointer
We can fix both by taking the ioctl_lock mutex when dereferencing
->queue/->tqueue, since that's always held over all the ioctl() code.
Just looking at the code I find it likely that there are more problems
here such as tu->qhead pointing outside the buffer if the size is
changed concurrently using SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_PARAMS.

The user timer tu->qused counter may go to a negative value when
multiple concurrent reads are performed since both the check and the
decrement of tu->qused are done in two individual locked contexts.
This results in bogus read outs, and the endless loop in the
user-space side.
The fix is to move the decrement of the tu->qused counter into the
same spinlock context as the zero-check of the counter.

ALSA system timer backend stops the timer via del_timer() without sync
and leaves del_timer_sync() at the close instead. This is because of
the restriction by the design of ALSA timer: namely, the stop callback
may be called from the timer handler, and calling the sync shall lead
to a hangup. However, this also triggers a kernel BUG() when the
timer is rearmed immediately after stopping without sync:

It's the place where add_timer() checks the pending timer. It's clear

So, the workaround here is just to use mod_timer() instead of
add_timer(). This looks like a band-aid fix, but it's a right move,

A slave timer element also unlinks at snd_timer_stop() but it takes
only slave_active_lock. When a slave is assigned to a master,
however, this may become a race against the master's interrupt
handling, eventually resulting in a list corruption. The actual bug
could be seen with a syzkaller fuzzer test case in BugLink below.
As a fix, we need to take timeri->timer->lock when timer isn't NULL,
i.e. assigned to a master, while the assignment to a master itself is
protected by slave_active_lock.

In ALSA timer core, the active timer instance is managed in
active_list linked list. Each element is added / removed dynamically
at timer start, stop and in timer interrupt. The problem is that
snd_timer_interrupt() has a thinko and leaves the element in
active_list when it's the last opened element. This eventually leads
to list corruption or use-after-free error.
This hasn't been revealed because we used to delete the list forcibly
in snd_timer_stop() in the past. However, the recent fix avoids the
double-stop behavior (in commit [f784beb75c: ALSA: timer: Fix link
corruption due to double start or stop]), and this leak hits reality.
This patch fixes the link management in snd_timer_interrupt(). Now it
simply unlinks no matter which stream is.

ALSA timer core framework has no sync point at stopping because it's
called inside the spinlock. Thus we need a sync point at close for
avoiding the stray timer task. This is simply done by implementing
the close callback just calling del_timer_sync(). (It's harmless to
call it unconditionally, as the core timer itself cares of the already
deleted timer instance.)

Although ALSA timer code got hardening for races, it still causes
use-after-free error. This is however rather a corrupted linked list,
not actually the concurrent accesses. Namely, when timer start is
triggered twice, list_add_tail() is called twice, too. This ends
up with the link corruption and triggers KASAN error.
The simplest fix would be replacing list_add_tail() with
list_move_tail(), but fundamentally it's the problem that we don't
check the double start/stop correctly. So, the right fix here is to
add the proper checks to snd_timer_start() and snd_timer_stop() (and
their variants).

Currently ALSA timer device doesn't take the disconnection into
account very well; it merely unlinks the timer device at disconnection
callback but does nothing else. Because of this, when an application
accessing the timer device is disconnected, it may release the
resource before actually closed. In most cases, it results in a
warning message indicating a leftover timer instance like:
ALSA: timer xxxx is busy?
But basically this is an open race.
This patch tries to address it. The strategy is like other ALSA
devices: namely,
- Manage card's refcount at each open/close
- Wake up the pending tasks at disconnection
- Check the shutdown flag appropriately at each possible call
Note that this patch has one ugly hack to handle the wakeup of pending
tasks. It'd be cleaner to introduce a new disconnect op to
snd_timer_instance ops. But since it would lead to internal ABI
breakage and it eventually increase my own work when backporting to
stable kernels, I took a different path to implement locally in
timer.c. A cleanup patch will follow at next for 4.5 kernel.

A slave timer instance might be still accessible in a racy way while
operating the master instance as it lacks of locking. Since the
master operation is mostly protected with timer->lock, we should cope
with it while changing the slave instance, too. Also, some linked
lists (active_list and ack_list) of slave instances aren't unlinked
immediately at stopping or closing, and this may lead to unexpected
accesses.
This patch tries to address these issues. It adds spin lock of
timer->lock (either from master or slave, which is equivalent) in a
few places. For avoiding a deadlock, we ensure that the global
slave_active_lock is always locked at first before each timer lock.
Also, ack and active_list of slave instances are properly unlinked at
snd_timer_stop() and snd_timer_close().
Last but not least, remove the superfluous call of _snd_timer_stop()
at removing slave links. This is a noop, and calling it may confuse
readers wrt locking. Further cleanup will follow in a later patch.
Actually we've got reports of use-after-free by syzkaller fuzzer, and
this hopefully fixes these issues.

ALSA timer ioctls have an open race and this may lead to a

The downside is, of course, the worse concurrency. But these ioctls

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.
So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.
