217658f46c ALSA: sound, core, pcm_lib: fix xrun_log
The xrun_log function was augmented with the in_interrupt parameter whereas the
empty macro definition used when xrun logging is disabled was not.

Add a third parameter to the empty macro definition so as to not cause compiler
errors when xrun logging (CONFIG_SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG) is disabled.

ec08b14483 ALSA: sound, core, pcm_lib: xrun_log: log also in_interrupt
When debugging pcm drivers I found the "period" or "hw" prefix printed
by either XRUN_DEBUG_PERIODUPDATE or XRUN_DEBUG_PERIODUPDATE events,
respectively to be very useful is observing the interplay between
interrupt-context updates and syscall-context updates.

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

Add an in_interrupt member to hwptr_log_entry which stores the value of
the in_interrupt parameter of snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0 when the log entry
is created. Print a "[Q]" prefix when dumping the log entries if
in_interrupt was true.

12ff414e2e ALSA: pcm: fix infinite loop in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0()
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.

59ff878ffb ALSA: pcm: detect xruns in no-period-wakeup mode
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.

ab69a4904b ALSA: pcm: support for period wakeup disabling
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.

bd76af0f87 ALSA: pcm midlevel code - add time check for double interrupt acknowledge
The current code in pcm_lib.c do all checks using only the position
in the ring buffer. Unfortunately, where the interrupts gets delayed or
merged into one, we need another timing source to check when the
buffer size boundary overlaps to avoid the wrong updating of the
ring buffer pointers.

This code uses jiffies to check the right time window without any
performance impact.

5daeba34d2 ALSA: pcm_lib: avoid timing jitter in snd_pcm_read/write()
When using poll() to wait for the next period -- or avail_min samples --
one gets a consistent delay for each system call that is usually just a
little short of the selected period time. However, When using
snd_pcm_read/write(), one gets a jittery delay that alternates between
less than a millisecond and approximately two period times. This is
caused by snd_pcm_lib_{read,write}1() transferring any available samples
to the user's buffer and adjusting the application pointer prior to
sleeping to the end of the current period. When the next period
interrupt occurs, there is then less than avail_min samples remaining to
be transferred in the period, so we end up sleeping until a second
period occurs.

This is solved by using runtime->twake as the number of samples needed
for a wakeup in addition to selecting the proper wait queue to wake in
snd_pcm_update_state(). This requires twake to be non-zero when used
by snd_pcm_lib_{read,write}1() even if avail_min is zero.

b406e6103b ALSA: pcm: fix delta calculation at boundary wraparound
In the cleanup of the hw_ptr update functions in 2.6.33, the calculation
of the delta value was changed to use the modulo operator to protect
against a negative difference due to the pointer wrapping around at the
boundary.

However, the ptr variables are unsigned, so a negative difference would
result in the two complement's value which has no relation to the actual
difference relative to the boundary; the result is typically some value
near LONG_MAX-boundary.  Furthermore, even if the modulo operation would
be done with signed types, the result of a negative dividend could be
negative.

The invalid delta value is then caught by the following checks, but this
means that the pointer update is ignored.

To fix this, use a range check as in the other pointer calculations.

ead4046b2f ALSA: pcm: fix the fix of the runtime->boundary calculation
Commit 7910b4a1db in 2.6.34 changed the
runtime->boundary calculation to make this value a multiple of both the
buffer_size and the period_size, because the latter is assumed by the
runtime->hw_ptr_interrupt calculation.

However, due to the lack of a ioctl that could read the software
parameters before they are set, the kernel requires that alsa-lib
calculates the boundary value, too.  The changed algorithm leads to
a different boundary value used by alsa-lib, which makes, e.g., mplayer
fail to play a 44.1 kHz file because the silence_size parameter is now
invalid; bug report:
<https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=5015>.

This patch reverts the change to the boundary calculation, and instead
fixes the hw_ptr_interrupt calculation to be period-aligned regardless
of the boundary value.

e763692578 ALSA: pcm_lib - return back hw_ptr_interrupt
Clemens Ladisch noted for hw_ptr_removal in "cleanup & merge hw_ptr
update functions" commit:

"It is possible for the status/delay ioctls to be called when the sound
card's pointer register alreay shows a position at the beginning of the
new period, but immediately before the interrupt is actually executed.
(This happens regularly on a SMP machine with mplayer.)  When that
happens, the code thinks that the position must be at least one period
ahead of the current position and drops an entire buffer of data."

Return back the hw_ptr_interrupt variable. The last interrupt pointer
is always computed from the latest hw_ptr instead of tracking it
separately (in this case all hw_ptr checks and modifications might
influence also hw_ptr_interrupt and it is difficult to keep it
consistent).

40962d7c74 ALSA: fix incorrect rounding direction in snd_interval_ratnum()
The direction of rounding is incorrect in the snd_interval_ratnum()
It was detected with following parameters (sb8 driver playing
8kHz stereo file):
 - num is always 1000000
 - requested frequency rate is from 7999 to 7999 (single frequency)

The first loop calculates div_down(num, freq->min) which is 125.
Thus, a frequency range's minimum value is 1000000 / 125 = 8000 Hz.
The second loop calculates div_up(num, freq->max) which is 126
The frequency range's maximum value is 1000000 / 126 = 7936 Hz.
The range maximum is lower than the range minimum so the function
fails due to empty result range.

4cdc115fd3 ALSA: pcm - Fix drain behavior in non-blocking mode
The current PCM core has the following problems regarding PCM draining
in non-blocking mode:

- the current f_flags isn't checked in snd_pcm_drain(), thus changing
  the mode dynamically via snd_pcm_nonblock() after open doesn't work.
- calling drain in non-blocking mode just return -EAGAIN error, but
  doesn't provide any way to sync with draining.

This patch fixes these issues.
- check file->f_flags in snd_pcm_drain() properly
- when O_NONBLOCK is set, PCM core sets the stream(s) to DRAIN state
  but quits ioctl immediately without waiting the whole drain; the
  caller can sync the drain manually via poll()

Hence, we disable this check now as default unless the user enables it

6af3fb72d2 ALSA: Fix invalid jiffies check after pause
The hw_ptr_jiffies has to be reset properly to avoid the invalid
check of jiffies delta in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr*() functions.
Especailly this patch fixes the bogus jiffies check after the puase
and resume.

This patch is a modified version of the original patch by Jaroslav.

3e5b50165f ALSA: pcm core - Avoid jiffies check for devices with BATCH flag
The hardware devices with SNDRV_PCM_INFO_BATCH flag can't give the
precise current position.  And such hardwares have often big FIFO
in addition to the ring buffer, and it screws up the jiffies check
in pcm_lib.c.

This patch adds a simple check of info flag so that the driver skips
the jiffies check in snd_pcm_period_elapsed() when BATCH flag is set.
