[alsa-devel] [PATCH RFC 00/26] Kill set_fs() in ALSA codes
by Takashi Iwai 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Hi, this is a slightly lengthy patchset, basically targeted for 4.13, thus it's still in RFC. The main purpose of this patchset is to get rid of get_fs() / set_fs() usages in ALSA codes. The patchset starts from a patch that looks fairly irrelevant with the goal (the conversion of HD-audio bind-mute code), but it's a step for the long trail. The biggest change in the patchset is the conversion of copy & silence PCM ops into the new copy_silence ops. It helped for reducing the code size and for handling the in-kernel buffer copies. The current patches are found in topic/kill-set_fs branch of my sound.git tree. thanks, Takashi === Takashi Iwai (26): ALSA: hda - Simplify bound-beep mute control for ALC268 ALSA: hda - Move bind-mixer switch codes to generic parser ALSA: hda - Remove the generic bind ctl helpers ALSA: hda - Remove the use of set_fs() ALSA: hda - Fix a typo in comment ALSA: hda - Remove superfluous header inclusions ALSA: opl3: Kill unused set_fs() ALSA: emu10k1: Get rid of set_fs() usage ALSA: pcm: Remove set_fs() in PCM core code ALSA: pcm: Introduce copy_silence PCM ops ALSA: Update document about copy_silence PCM ops ALSA: dummy: Convert to copy_silence ops ALSA: es1938: Convert to copy_silence ops ALSA: korg1212: Convert to copy_silence ops ALSA: nm256: Convert to copy_silence ops ALSA: rme32: Convert to copy_silence ops ALSA: rme96: Convert to copy_silence ops ALSA: rme9652: Convert to copy_silence ops ALSA: hdsp: Convert to copy_silence ops ALSA: gus: Convert to copy_silence ops ALSA: sb: Convert to copy_silence ops ALSA: sh: Convert to copy_silence ops ASoC: blackfin: Convert to copy_silence ops [media] solo6x10: Convert to copy_silence ops ALSA: pcm: Drop the old copy and silence ops ALSA: pcm: Kill set_fs() usage in OSS layer and USB gadget .../sound/kernel-api/writing-an-alsa-driver.rst | 110 +++++---- drivers/media/pci/solo6x10/solo6x10-g723.c | 11 +- drivers/usb/gadget/function/u_uac1.c | 8 +- include/sound/pcm.h | 19 +- sound/core/oss/pcm_oss.c | 62 ++--- sound/core/pcm_compat.c | 22 +- sound/core/pcm_lib.c | 174 +++++++++----- sound/core/pcm_native.c | 122 ++++++---- sound/drivers/dummy.c | 13 +- sound/drivers/opl3/opl3_oss.c | 14 -- sound/isa/gus/gus_pcm.c | 43 +--- sound/isa/sb/emu8000_pcm.c | 99 +++----- sound/pci/emu10k1/emufx.c | 127 ++++++----- sound/pci/es1938.c | 11 +- sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c | 251 +++------------------ sound/pci/hda/hda_generic.c | 46 +++- sound/pci/hda/hda_local.h | 61 ----- sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c | 37 ++- sound/pci/korg1212/korg1212.c | 128 +++-------- sound/pci/nm256/nm256.c | 35 ++- sound/pci/rme32.c | 49 ++-- sound/pci/rme96.c | 52 ++--- sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c | 44 ++-- sound/pci/rme9652/rme9652.c | 46 ++-- sound/sh/sh_dac_audio.c | 40 +--- sound/soc/blackfin/bf5xx-ac97-pcm.c | 6 +- sound/soc/blackfin/bf5xx-ac97.c | 18 +- sound/soc/blackfin/bf5xx-i2s-pcm.c | 46 ++-- sound/soc/soc-pcm.c | 3 +- 29 files changed, 696 insertions(+), 1001 deletions(-) -- 2.12.2

[alsa-devel] [PATCH 4/6] alsa-lib:pcm: fix the hw_ptr update until the boundary available.
by sutar.mounesh＠gmail.com 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

From: mahendran.k <mahendran.kuppusamy(a)in.bosch.com> For long time test case, the slave_hw_ptr will exceed the boundary and wraparound the slave_hw_ptr. This slave boundary wraparound will cause the rate->hw_ptr to wraparound irrespective of the rate->boundary availability and due to that the available size goes wrong. Hence, To get the correct available size, - Its necessary to increment the rate->hw_ptr upto the rate->boundary and then wraparound the rate->hw_ptr. - While handling fraction part of slave period, rounded value will be introduced by input_frames(). To eliminate rounding issue on rate->hw_ptr, subtract last rounded value from rate->hw_ptr and add new rounded value of present slave_hw_ptr fraction part to rate->hw_ptr.

[alsa-devel] ASoC Sound Driver I2S over LPE, Intel Baytrail SoC. MinnowBoard Max
by Michael Pogrebinsky 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Hi all, I have the MinnowBoard Max with Baytrail Atom (ValleyView) SoC. I'm attempting to write an Alsa (ASoC) driver for my sound card to work with this board. PCM should work through I2S for this sound card I have. >From my understanding Baytrail's I2S goes over LPE. I read this thread:https://www.mail-archive.com/elinux-minnowboard@lists.elinux.org/msg… So I understand that I need the 3 components for my ASoC driver. However I am having trouble at understanding how to communicate with the LPE to get the I2S working. Here is what I have done so far: I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, kernel : 4.3.0-040300rc4 First of all I downloaded the firmware fw_sst_0f28.bin-48kHz_i2s_master fromhttps://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux… And put it /lib/firmware/intel/. Later I went to the Bios and enabled LPE in PCI mode. I do see the LPE controller now, but it shows as UNCLAIMED. Later I looked at the sound/soc/inte/baytrail/ and from my understanding in order for me to get the I2S working I need to load this module so I did modprobe snd-soc-sst-baytrail-pcm. Later I wrote a simple codec and machine driver (looking at the example of sound/soc/intel/boards/byt_max98090) however everytime I attempt to register the sound card with snd_soc_register_card, I get the following error message in dmesg : "ASoC: CPU DAI baytrail-pcm-audio not registered". >From this I deduct that although I loaded the snd-soc-sst-baytrail-pcm module, the driver has not actually been loaded. I'm clueless on how to proceed from here. I would highly appreciate your help.

[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 00/12] AC97 device/driver model revamp
by Robert Jarzmik 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Hi Lars, Mark, Charles, Lee, This serie has been stalled for almost one year, as I wasn't feeling that well lately. I'm quite better now, so let's get back to it. As it's been so long since the last review, I basically withdrew all my former objections and took into account all remarks regardless of my own judgement. This is especially the case with Lars's review on the bus code, where I tried to address all his comments. For this next round, let's sum up what happened : - I rebased against latest Linus's tree => as Lars had made ports to regmap of several impacted wm97xx drivers, all the better for me. - ALSA: ac97: add an ac97 bus => this addresses Lars's comments => history : https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9398229/ => there is one remark which was left out, the drop of the table ac97_controller->codecs. The reason is that there are traversals required in the bus scan and controller removal, and the code is way simpler with a table, and the data structure very compact. - Input: wm97xx: split out touchscreen registering => Charles's comment taken into account => history: http://https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9398223/ Have a happy review. -- Robert Robert Jarzmik (11): ALSA: ac97: add an ac97 bus ASoC: add new ac97 bus support ASoC: arm: make pxa2xx-ac97-lib ac97 codec agnostic Input: wm97xx: split out touchscreen registering mfd: wm97xx-core: core support for wm97xx Codec Input: wm97xx: add new AC97 bus support ASoC: wm9713: add ac97 new bus support ASoC: wm9712: add ac97 new bus support ASoC: wm9705: add private structure ASoC: wm9705: add ac97 new bus support ASoC: pxa: switch to new ac97 bus support Takashi Iwai (1): ASoC: Fix use-after-free at card unregistration drivers/input/touchscreen/Kconfig | 2 +- drivers/input/touchscreen/wm97xx-core.c | 252 ++++++++++----- drivers/mfd/Kconfig | 14 + drivers/mfd/Makefile | 1 + drivers/mfd/wm97xx-core.c | 282 +++++++++++++++++ include/linux/mfd/wm97xx.h | 31 ++ include/sound/ac97/codec.h | 118 +++++++ include/sound/ac97/compat.h | 21 ++ include/sound/ac97/controller.h | 85 ++++++ include/sound/pxa2xx-lib.h | 15 +- sound/Kconfig | 2 + sound/Makefile | 1 + sound/ac97/Kconfig | 19 ++ sound/ac97/Makefile | 8 + sound/ac97/ac97_core.h | 10 + sound/ac97/bus.c | 526 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ sound/ac97/codec.c | 15 + sound/ac97/snd_ac97_compat.c | 105 +++++++ sound/arm/Kconfig | 1 - sound/arm/pxa2xx-ac97-lib.c | 37 ++- sound/arm/pxa2xx-ac97.c | 35 ++- sound/soc/Kconfig | 4 + sound/soc/codecs/Kconfig | 9 +- sound/soc/codecs/wm9705.c | 59 ++-- sound/soc/codecs/wm9712.c | 37 ++- sound/soc/codecs/wm9713.c | 39 ++- sound/soc/pxa/Kconfig | 5 +- sound/soc/pxa/pxa2xx-ac97.c | 43 ++- sound/soc/soc-core.c | 5 +- 29 files changed, 1603 insertions(+), 178 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/mfd/wm97xx-core.c create mode 100644 include/linux/mfd/wm97xx.h create mode 100644 include/sound/ac97/codec.h create mode 100644 include/sound/ac97/compat.h create mode 100644 include/sound/ac97/controller.h create mode 100644 sound/ac97/Kconfig create mode 100644 sound/ac97/Makefile create mode 100644 sound/ac97/ac97_core.h create mode 100644 sound/ac97/bus.c create mode 100644 sound/ac97/codec.c create mode 100644 sound/ac97/snd_ac97_compat.c -- 2.1.4

[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/9] AC97 device/driver model revamp
by Robert Jarzmik 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

It all started in the pxa device-tree submission here : https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/25/965 Last submission was a RFC in here: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2446863 It will be maintained in : git fetch https://github.com/rjarzmik/linux.git work/ac97 The driving ideas are still the same, and I put them in [1] for memory. This is the first post RFC submission. In order to make a full demonstration of the framework, wm97xx was converted to an MFD, see [2] for the "why". As this serie is a complete wm9713 change towards the new AC97 bus, here is the patch organization : - 1/9, 2/9, 3/9 and 5/9: the new AC97 bus, for Mark and Takashi to review - 4/9: wm9713 conversion, this one has ugly #ifdefs, should be reviewed more carefully - 6/9: prerequisite for final 9/9, for Marek and Sebastian to approve => this one is independent and can flow through Sebastian's tree in this next-cycle if accepted - 7/9: prerequisite for final 9/9, for Mark/Dmitry => this one is also independent and can flow in this cycle if accepted - 8/9: prerequisite for final 9/9, for Lee to review => this one has a dependency on 2/9, so it probably can't fit in this next-cycle - 9/9: this last one depends on all the patches before, so it can't fit in this next-cycle As a sum-up, I'd like to push for review for this -next cycle at least the patches 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 9. Happy review.

I think it's right place would be in include/sound/ac97/codec.h. This is also a problem for regmap adherence, hence the include/sound/ac97/compat.h. - a new AC'97 bus Kconfig is created This was done for a smooth transition ... let's see if it's a good idea. - split the AC'97 into : - the codec - the digital controller - the bus Amongst the things that are not all touched yet : - ac97_codec.c The generic AC'97 codec in sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c has really a lot features, which are not at all PCI related. They could be transfered to sound/ac97, without the pci specific field. => this deserves a deep ahead thinking, which I'll do if the current approach is accepted by the communauty. The most important patch is 2/7 "ALSA: ac97: add an ac97 bus". This is the main evaluation point for the serie, the others are here so that I can test it all. Well, this is a long term effort, which might need a complete rewrite according to the comments it'll get. Let's expose it for comments and see how I can progress with it. [2] As a corollary, wm97xx is changed into a MFD device, which at least spawns: - the touchscreen device - the ac97 codec - the problem to solve was stated in http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2510113#2510113
