      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
    (sound/core/pcm_lib.c)
    ->snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr()
      ->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()
            (drivers/firewire/core-iso.c)
            ->fw_iso_context_flush_completions()
              ->struct fw_card_driver.flush_iso_completion()
              (drivers/firewire/ohci.c)
              = flush_iso_completions()
                ->struct fw_iso_context.callback.sc
                (sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c)
                = in_stream_callback() or out_stream_callback()
                  ->...
    ->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.

(sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c)
in_stream_callback() or out_stream_callback()
->amdtp_stream_pcm_abort()
  ->snd_pcm_stop_xrun()
    ->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 surely see 'applptr' event is probed even if the application run
for mmap programming scenario ('-M' option and 'hw' plugin). Below is a
result of strace:

02:44:15.891228 read(3, "..."..., 256) = 256
02:44:15.891497 ioctl(4, SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR, 0x56a32b30) = 0
02:44:15.891661 ioctl(4, SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR, 0x56a32b30) = 0
02:44:15.891829 ioctl(4, SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR, 0x56a32b30) = 0
02:44:15.891991 poll([{fd=4, events=POLLOUT|POLLERR|POLLNVAL}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=4, revents=POLLOUT}])
02:44:15.893007 ioctl(4, SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR, 0x56a32b30) = 0

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.
