When snd_pcm_add_chmap_ctls() is called to the PCM stream to which a
chmap has been already assigned, it returns as an error due to the
conflicting snd_ctl_add() result. However, this also clears the
already assigned chmap_kctl field via pcm_chmap_ctl_private_free(),
and becomes inconsistent in the later operation.
This patch adds the check of the conflicting chmap kctl before
actually trying to allocate / assign. The check failure is treated as
a kernel warning, as the double call of snd_pcm_add_chmap_ctls() is
basically a driver bug and having the stack trace would help
developers to figure out the bad code path.

Currently kill_fasync() is called outside the stream lock in
snd_pcm_period_elapsed(). This is potentially racy, since the stream
may get released even during the irq handler is running. Although
snd_pcm_release_substream() calls snd_pcm_drop(), this doesn't
guarantee that the irq handler finishes, thus the kill_fasync() call
outside the stream spin lock may be invoked after the substream is
detached, as recently reported by KASAN.
As a quick workaround, move kill_fasync() call inside the stream
lock. The fasync is rarely used interface, so this shouldn't have a
big impact from the performance POV.
Ideally, we should implement some sync mechanism for the proper finish
of stream and irq handler. But this oneliner should suffice for most
cases, so far.

The commit [d507941beb1e: ALSA: pcm: Correct PCM BUG error message]
made the warning prefix back to "BUG:" due to its previous wrong
prefix. But a kernel message containing "BUG:" seems taken as an Oops
message wrongly by some brain-dead daemons, and it annoys users in the
end. Instead of teaching daemons, change the string again to a more
reasonable one.

The ALSA core does not modify the constraints provided by a driver. Most
constraint helper functions already take a const pointer to the constraint
description, the exception at the moment being the ratden and ratnum
constraints. Make those const as well, this allows a driver to declare them
as const.

While there is nothing wrong with the transfer_ack_begin and
transfer_ack_end callbacks per-se, the last documented user was part of the
alsa-driver 0.5.12a package, which was released 14 years ago and even
predates the upstream integration of the ALSA core and has subsequently
been superseded by newer alsa-driver releases.
This seems to indicate that there is no need for having these callbacks and
they are just cruft that can be removed.

PCM timer is not always used. For embedded device, we need an interface
to disable it when it is not needed, to shrink the kernel size and
memory footprint, here add CONFIG_SND_PCM_TIMER for it.
When both CONFIG_SND_PCM_TIMER and CONFIG_SND_TIMER is unselected,
about 25KB saving bonus we can get.
Please be noted that when disabled, those stubs who using pcm timer
(e.g. dmix, dsnoop & co) may work incorrectlly.

Currently in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0 during interrupt,
we consider there were double acknowledged interrupts when:
1. HW reported pointer is smaller than expected, and
2. Time from last update time (hdelta) is over half a buffer time.
However, when HW reported pointer is only a few bytes smaller than
expected, and when hdelta is just a little larger than half a buffer time
(e.g. ping-pong buffer), it wrongly treats this IRQ as double acknowledged.
The condition #2 uses jiffies, but jiffies is not high resolution
since it is integer. We should consider jiffies inaccuracy.

Currently the msbits constraints requires to specify a specific sample
format width for which the constraint should be applied. But often the
number of most significant bits is not sample format specific, but rather a
absolute limit. E.g. the PCM interface might accept 32-bit and 24-bit
samples, but the DAC has a 16-bit resolution and throws away the LSBs. In
this case for both 32-bit and 24-bit format msbits should be set to 16. This
patch extends snd_pcm_hw_constraint_msbits() so that a wildcard constraint
can be setup that is applied for all formats with a sample width larger than
the specified msbits. Choosing the wildcard constraint is done by setting
the sample width parameter of the function to 0.

If the sound card is made up of discrete components, each with their own
driver (e.g. like in the ASoC case), we might end up with multiple msbits
constraint rules installed. Currently this will result in msbits being set

This patch updates the behavior of the rule to choose the minimum (other
than zero) of all the installed rules.

ALSA PCM core has a mechanism tracking the PCM hwptr updates for
analyzing XRUNs. But its log is limited (up to 10) and its log output
is a kernel message, which is hard to handle.
In this patch, the hwptr logging is moved to the tracing
infrastructure instead of its own. Not only the hwptr updates but
also XRUN and hwptr errors are recorded on the trace log, so that user
can see such events at the exact timing.
The new "snd_pcm" entry will appear in the tracing events:
# ls -F /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/snd_pcm
enable filter hw_ptr_error/ hwptr/ xrun/
The hwptr is for the regular hwptr update events. An event trace
looks like:
aplay-26187 [004] d..3 4012.834761: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: POS: pos=488, old=0, base=0, period=1024, buf=16384
"POS" shows the hwptr update by the explicit position update call and
"IRQ" means the hwptr update by the interrupt,
i.e. snd_pcm_period_elapsed() call. The "pos" is the passed
ring-buffer offset by the caller, "old" is the previous hwptr, "base"
is the hwptr base position, "period" and "buf" are period- and
buffer-size of the target PCM substream.
(Note that the hwptr position displayed here isn't the ring-buffer
offset. It increments up to the PCM position boundary.)
The XRUN event appears similarly, but without "pos" field.
The hwptr error events appear with the PCM identifier and its reason
string, such as "Lost interrupt?".
The XRUN and hwptr error reports on kernel message are still left, can
be turned on/off via xrun_debug proc like before. But the bit 3, 4, 5
and 6 bits of xrun_debug proc are dropped by this patch. Also, along
with the change, the message strings have been reformatted to be a bit
more consistent.
Last but not least, the hwptr reporting is enabled only when
CONFIG_SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG is set.

- Provide both manually and transparently locked DAPM APIs rather than
a mix of the two fixing some concurrency issues.
- Start converting CODEC drivers to use separate bus interface drivers
rather than having them all in one file helping avoid dependency
issues.
- DPCM support for Intel Haswell and Bay Trail platforms.
- Lots of work on improvements for simple-card, DaVinci and the Renesas
rcar drivers.
- New drivers for Analog Devices ADAU1977, TI PCM512x and parts of the

ALSA did not provide any direct means to infer the audio time for A/V
sync and system/audio time correlations (eg. PulseAudio).
Applications had to track the number of samples read/written and
add/subtract the number of samples queued in the ring buffer. This
accounting led to small errors, typically several samples, due to the
two-step process. Computing the audio time in the kernel is more
direct, as all the information is available in the same routines.
Also add new .audio_wallclock routine to enable fine-grain synchronization
between monotonic system time and audio hardware time.
Using the wallclock, if supported in hardware, allows for a
much better sub-microsecond precision and a common drift tracking for
all devices sharing the same wall clock (master clock).

In the PCM read/write loop, the driver calls snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr()
at each time at the beginning of the loop. Russell King reported that
this hogs CPU significantly.
The current code assumes that the pointer callback is very fast and
cheap, also not too much fine grained. It's not true in all cases.
When the pointer advances short samples while the read/write copy has
been performed, the driver updates the hw_ptr and gets avail > 0
again. Then it tries to read/write these small chunks. This repeats
until the avail really gets to zero.
For avoiding this situation, a simple workaround is to call
snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr() only once at starting the loop, assuming that
the read/write copy is performed fast enough. If the available count
becomes short, it goes to snd_pcm_wait_avail() anyway, and this
processes right.

wait_for_avail() in pcm_lib.c has a race in it (observed in practice by an
Intel validation group).
The function is supposed to return once space in the buffer has become
available, or if some timeout happens. The entity that creates space (irq
handler of sound driver and some such) will do a wake up on a waitqueue
that this function registers for.
However there are two races in the existing code
1) If space became available between the caller noticing there was no
space and this function actually sleeping, the wakeup is missed and the
timeout condition will happen instead
2) If a wakeup happened but not sufficient space became available, the
code will loop again and wait for more space. However, if the second
wake comes in prior to hitting the schedule_timeout_interruptible(), it
will be missed, and potentially you'll wait out until the timeout
happens.
The fix consists of using more careful setting of the current state (so
that if a wakeup happens in the main loop window, the schedule_timeout()
falls through) and by checking for available space prior to going into the
schedule_timeout() loop, but after being on the waitqueue and having the
state set to interruptible.

Similarly, when debugging overruns with XRUN_DEBUG_LOG it is useful to
see the context of the last 10 positions.

When period interrupts are disabled, snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0() compares
the current time against the time estimated for the current hardware
pointer to detect xruns. The somewhat fuzzy threshold in the while loop
makes it possible that hdelta becomes negative; the comparison being
done with unsigned types then makes the loop go through the entire 263
negative range, and, depending on the value, never reach an unsigned
value that is small enough to stop the loop. Doing this with interrupts
disabled results in the machine locking up.
To prevent this, ensure that the loop condition uses signed types for
both operands so that the comparison is correctly done.
Many thanks to Kelly Anderson for debugging this.

When period wakeups are disabled, successive calls to the pointer update
function do not have a maximum allowed distance, so xruns cannot be
detected with the pointer value only.
To detect xruns, compare the actually elapsed time with the time that
should have theoretically elapsed since the last update. When the
hardware pointer has wrapped around due to an xrun, the actually elapsed
time will be too big by about hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies.

This patch allows to disable period interrupts which are
not needed when the application relies on a system timer
to wake-up and refill the ring buffer. The behavior of
the driver is left unchanged, and interrupts are only
disabled if the application requests this configuration.
The behavior in case of underruns is slightly different,
instead of being detected during the period interrupts the
underruns are detected when the application calls
snd_pcm_update_avail, which in turns forces a refresh of the
hw pointer and shows the buffer is empty.
More specifically this patch makes a lot of sense when
PulseAudio relies on timer-based scheduling to access audio
devices such as HDAudio or Intel SST. Disabling interrupts
removes two unwanted wake-ups due to period elapsed events
in low-power playback modes. It also simplifies PulseAudio
voice modules used for speech calls.
To quote Lennart "This patch looks very interesting and
desirable. This is something have long been waiting for."
Support for this in hardware drivers is optional.
