      ALSA: Fix forgotten dependency fix for tristate OSS sequencer kconfig · f03293d8
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      In the commit 3d774d5e ("ALSA: seq: Allow the tristate build of
OSS emulation") we changed CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS to tristate, but a
couple of places were forgotten, namely, opl3 and emux Makefile.
These contain the line like
  snd-opl3-synth-$(CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS) += opl3_oss.o
and this doesn't work any longer as expected because snd-opl3-synth
can be built-in while CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=m.

This patch fixes these places to build properly for the new kconfig
dependency.  In the end, we had to use ifneq() to satisfy the
requirement.  It's a bit ugly, but lesser evil.

      ALSA: pcm: Disable only control mmap for explicit appl_ptr sync · b602aa8e
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      Now that user-space (typically alsa-lib) can specify which protocol
version it supports, we can optimize the kernel code depending on the
reported protocol version.

In this patch, we change the previous hack for enforcing the appl_ptr
sync by disabling status/control mmap.  Instead of forcibly disabling
both mmaps, we disable only the control mmap when user-space declares
the supported protocol version new enough.  For older user-space,
still both PCM status and control mmaps are disabled when requested by
the driver due to the compatibility reason.

      ALSA: pcm: Add an ioctl to specify the supported protocol version · 4b671f57
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      We have an ioctl to inform the PCM protocol version the running kernel
supports, but there is no way to know which protocol version the
user-space can understand.  This lack of information caused headaches
in the past when we tried to extend the ABI.  For example, because we
couldn't guarantee the validity of the reserved bytes, we had to
introduce a new ioctl SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS_EXT for assigning a few
new fields in the formerly reserved bits.  If we could know that it's
a new alsa-lib, we could assume the availability of the new fields,
thus we could have reused the existing SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS.

In order to improve the ABI extensibility, this patch adds a new ioctl
for user-space to inform its supporting protocol version to the
kernel.  By reporting the supported protocol from user-space, the
kernel can judge which feature should be provided and which not.

With the addition of the new ioctl, the PCM protocol version is bumped
to 2.0.14, too.  User-space checks the kernel protocol version via
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_PVERSION, then it sets the supported version back via
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_USER_PVERSION.

      ALSA: hda/realtek - There is no loopback mixer in the ALC234/274/294 · 532a7784
      Hui Wang authored 
      We have a Lenovo machine with the codec ALC294 on it, without the
patch, the Node 0x0b is regarded as the loopback mixer, but the Node
0x0b in this codec is "Vendor Defined Widget" instead of the audio
mixer, please see the log below:

Node 0x0b [Vendor Defined Widget] wcaps 0xf00000: Mono
  Control: name="Beep Playback Volume", index=0, device=0
    ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=4, ofs=0
  Control: name="Beep Playback Switch", index=0, device=0
    ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=4, ofs=0

And I have consulted with Realtek, so far the ALC234/274/294 all don't
have loopback mixer.

      ALSA: pcm: Add the explicit appl_ptr sync support · 42f94597
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      Currently x86 platforms use the PCM status/control mmaps for
transferring the PCM status and appl_ptr between kernel and
user-spaces.  The mmap is a most efficient way of communication, but
it has a drawback per its nature, namely, it can't notify the change
explicitly to kernel.

The lack of appl_ptr update notification is a problem on a few
existing drivers, but it's mostly a small issue and negligible.
However, a new type of driver that uses DSP for a deep buffer
management requires the exact position of appl_ptr for calculating the
buffer prefetch size, and the asynchronous appl_ptr update between
kernel and user-spaces becomes a significant problem for it.

How can we enforce user-space to report the appl_ptr update?  The way
is relatively simple.  Just by disabling the PCM control mmap, the
user-space is supposed to fall back to the mode using SYNC_PTR ioctl,
and the kernel gets control over that.  This fallback mode is used in
all non-x86 platforms as default, and also in the 32bit compatible
model on all platforms including x86.  It's been implemented already
over a decade, so we can say it's fairly safe and stably working.

With the help of the knowledge above, this patch introduces a new PCM
info flag SNDRV_PCM_INFO_SYNC_APPLPTR for achieving the appl_ptr sync
from user-space.  When a driver sets this flag at open, the PCM status
/ control mmap is disabled, which effectively switches to SYNC_PTR
mode in user-space side.

In this version, both PCM status and control mmaps are disabled
although only the latter, control mmap, is the target.  It's because
the current alsa-lib implementation supposes that both status and
control mmaps are always coupled, thus it handles a fatal error when
only one of them fails.

Of course, the disablement of the status/control mmaps may bring a
slight performance overhead.  Thus, as of now, this should be used
only for the dedicated devices that deserves.

Note that the disablement of mmap is a sort of workaround.  In the
later patch, we'll introduce the way to identify the protocol version
alsa-lib supports, and keep mmap working while the sync_ptr is
performed together.

      ALSA: firewire-lib: Fix stall of process context at packet error · 4a9bfafc
      Takashi Sakamoto authored 
      At Linux v3.5, packet processing can be done in process context of ALSA
PCM application as well as software IRQ context for OHCI 1394. Below is
an example of the callgraph (some calls are omitted).

ioctl(2) with e.g. HWSYNC
(sound/core/pcm_native.c)
->snd_pcm_common_ioctl1()
  ->snd_pcm_hwsync()
    ->snd_pcm_stream_lock_irq

      ->snd_pcm_udpate_hw_ptr0()
        ->struct snd_pcm_ops.pointer()
        (sound/firewire/*)
        = Each handler on drivers in ALSA firewire stack
          (sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c)
          ->amdtp_stream_pcm_pointer()

                  ->...
    ->snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irq

When packet queueing error occurs or detecting invalid packets in
'in_stream_callback()' or 'out_stream_callback()', 'snd_pcm_stop_xrun()'
is called on local CPU with disabled IRQ.

    ->snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave()
    ->snd_pcm_stop()
    ->snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irqrestore()

The process is stalled on the CPU due to attempt to acquire recursive lock.

This commit fixes the above bug. This assumes two cases:
1. Any error is detected in software IRQ context of OHCI 1394 context.
In this case, PCM substream should be aborted in packet handler. On the
other hand, it should not be done in any process context. TO distinguish
these two context, use 'in_interrupt()' macro.
2. Any error is detect in process context of ALSA PCM application.
In this case, PCM substream should not be aborted in packet handler
because PCM substream lock is acquired. The task to abort PCM substream
should be done in ALSA PCM core. For this purpose, SNDRV_PCM_POS_XRUN is
returned at 'struct snd_pcm_ops.pointer()'.

      ALSA: pcm: use %s instead of %c for format of PCM buffer tracepoints · f5abd532
      Takashi Sakamoto authored 
      As long as I know, in userspace, '%c' format on printing format for
tracepoint is replaced with '>c<' by existent tracing program; i.g.
'perf-trace' and 'trace-cmd'. This is inconvenient.

This commit replaces the format with '%s'. The length of letters in the
format string is not changed, thus this commit doesn't increase object
size.

In theory, I should work for improvements of these tracing programs, but
here I'd like to save my time to work for the other projects.

      ALSA: pcm: add 'applptr' event of tracepoint · fccf5388
      Takashi Sakamoto authored 
      In design of ALSA PCM core, status and control data for runtime of ALSA
PCM substream are shared between kernel/user spaces by page frame
mapping with read-only attribute. Both of hardware-side and
application-side position on PCM buffer are maintained as a part of
the status data. In a view of ALSA PCM application, these two positions
can be updated by executing ioctl(2) with some commands.

There's an event of tracepoint for hardware-side position; 'hwptr'.
On the other hand, no events for application-side position. This commit
adds a new event for this purpose; 'applptr'. When the application-side
position is changed in kernel space, this event is probed with useful
information for developers.

I note that the event is not probed for all of ALSA PCM applications, When
applications are written by read/write programming scenario, the event is
surely probed. The applications execute ioctl(2) with
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_[READ|WRITE][N/I]_FRAMES to read/write any PCM frame, then
ALSA PCM core updates the application-side position in kernel land.
However, when applications are written by mmap programming scenario, if
maintaining the application side position in kernel space accurately,
applications should voluntarily execute ioctl(2) with
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR to commit the number of handled PCM frames. If
not voluntarily, the application-side position is not changed, thus the
added event is not probed.

There's a loophole, using architectures to which ALSA PCM core judges
non cache coherent. In this case, the status and control data is not mapped
into processe's VMA for any applications. Userland library, alsa-lib, is
programmed for this case. It executes ioctl(2) with
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR command every time to requiring the status and
control data.

ARM is such an architecture. Below is an example with serial sound interface
(ssi) on i.mx6 quad core SoC. I use v4.1 kernel released by fsl-community
with patches from VIA Tech. Inc. for VAB820, and my backport patches for
relevant features for this patchset. I use Ubuntu 17.04 from
ports.ubuntu.com as user land for armhf architecture.

We can see 7 calls of ioctl(2) with SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR per loop with
call of poll(2). 128 PCM frames are transferred per loop of one poll(2),
because the PCM substream is configured with S16_LE format and 1 channel
(2 byte * 1 * 128 = 256 bytes). This equals to the size of period of PCM
buffer. Comparing to the probed data, one of the 7 calls of ioctl(2) is
actually used to commit the number of copied PCM frames to kernel space.
The other calls are just used to check runtime status of PCM substream;
e.g. XRUN.

The tracepoint event is useful to investigate this case. I note that below
modules are related to the above sample.

 * snd-soc-dummy.ko
 * snd-soc-imx-sgtl5000.ko
 * snd-soc-fsl-ssi.ko
 * snd-soc-imx-pcm-dma.ko
 * snd-soc-sgtl5000.ko

My additional note is lock acquisition. The event is probed under acquiring
PCM stream lock. This means that calculation in the event is free from
any hardware events.

      ALSA: pcm: unify codes to operate application-side position on PCM buffer · 66e01a5c
      Takashi Sakamoto authored 
      In a series of recent work, ALSA PCM core got some arrangements to handle
application-side position on PCM buffer. However, relevant codes still
disperse to two translation units

This commit unifies these codes into a helper function.

      ALSA: seq: Allow the modular sequencer registration · 111b0cdb
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      Many drivers bind the sequencer stuff in off-load by another driver
module, so that it's loaded only on demand.  In the current code, this
mechanism doesn't work when the driver is built-in while the sequencer
is module.  We check with IS_REACHABLE() and enable only when the
sequencer is in the same level of build.

However, this is basically a overshoot.  The binder code
(snd-seq-device) is an individual module from the sequencer core
(snd-seq), and we just have to make the former a built-in while
keeping the latter a module for allowing the scenario like the above.

This patch achieves that by rewriting Kconfig slightly.  Now, a driver
that provides the manual sequencer device binding should select
CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DEVICE in a way as
	select SND_SEQ_DEVICE if SND_SEQUENCER != n

Note that the "!=n" is needed here to avoid the influence of the
sequencer core is module while the driver is built-in.

Also, since rawmidi.o may be linked with snd_seq_device.o when
built-in, we have to shuffle the code to make the linker happy.
(the kernel linker isn't smart enough yet to handle such a case.)
That is, snd_seq_device.c is moved to sound/core from sound/core/seq,
as well as Makefile.

Last but not least, the patch replaces the code using IS_REACHABLE()
with IS_ENABLED(), since now the condition meets always when enabled.

      ALSA: synth: Select snd-emux-synth explicitly · 82721155
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      Instead of the non-standard way to enable the build of snd-emux-synth
module inside Makefile, rewrite Kconfig to select the item explicitly
from each driver (sbawe and emu10k1).  This is the standard way.

      ALSA: seq: Reorganize kconfig and build · 0181307a
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      This is a slightly intensive rewrite of Kconfig and Makefile about
ALSA sequencer stuff.

The first major change is that the kconfig items for the sequencer are
moved to sound/core/seq/Kconfig.  OK, that's easy.

The substantial change is that, instead of hackish top-level module
selection in Makefile, we define a Kconfig item for each sequencer
module.  The driver that requires such sequencer components select
exclusively the kconfig items.  This is more straightforward and
standard way.
