From cf1533f9669664757084a09ed37695d9fe1d14c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2016 15:45:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: timer: Fix zero-division by continue of uninitialized instance commit 9f8a7658bcafb2a7853f7a2eae8a94e87e6e695b upstream. When a user timer instance is continued without the explicit start beforehand, the system gets eventually zero-division error like: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC KASAN CPU: 1 PID: 27320 Comm: syz-executor Not tainted 4.8.0-rc3-next-20160825+ #8 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 task: ffff88003c9b2280 task.stack: ffff880027280000 RIP: 0010:[] [< inline >] ktime_divns include/linux/ktime.h:195 RIP: 0010:[] [] snd_hrtimer_callback+0x1bc/0x3c0 sound/core/hrtimer.c:62 Call Trace: [< inline >] __run_hrtimer kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1238 [] __hrtimer_run_queues+0x325/0xe70 kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1302 [] hrtimer_interrupt+0x18b/0x420 kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1336 [] local_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6f/0xe0 arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:933 [] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x76/0xa0 arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:957 [] apic_timer_interrupt+0x8c/0xa0 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:487 ..... Although a similar issue was spotted and a fix patch was merged in commit [6b760bb2c63a: 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.
