      ALSA: memalloc: Support for non-contiguous page allocation · a25684a9
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      This patch adds the support for allocation of non-contiguous DMA pages
in the common memalloc helper.  It's another SG-buffer type, but
unlike the existing one, this is directional and requires the explicit
sync / invalidation of dirty pages on non-coherent architectures.

For this enhancement, the following points are changed:
- snd_dma_device stores the DMA direction.
- snd_dma_device stores need_sync flag indicating whether the explicit
  sync is required or not.
- A new variant of helper functions, snd_dma_alloc_dir_pages() and
  *_all() are introduced; the old snd_dma_alloc_pages() and *_all()
  kept as just wrappers with DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL.
- A new helper snd_dma_buffer_sync() is introduced; this gets called
  in the appropriate places.
- A new allocation type, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_NONCONTIG, is introduced.

When the driver allocates pages with this new type, and it may require
the SNDRV_PCM_INFO_EXPLICIT_SYNC flag set to the PCM hardware.info for
taking the full control of PCM applptr and hwptr changes (that implies
disabling the mmap of control/status data).  When the buffer
allocation is managed by snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer(), this flag is
automatically set depending on the result of dma_need_sync()
internally.  Otherwise, if the buffer is managed manually, the driver
has to set the flag explicitly, too.

The explicit sync between CPU and device for non-coherent memory is
performed at the points before and after read/write transfer as well
as the applptr/hwptr syncptr ioctl.  In the case of mmap mode,
user-space is supposed to call the syncptr ioctl with the hwptr flag
to update and fetch the status at first; this corresponds to CPU-sync.
Then user-space advances the applptr via syncptr ioctl again with
applptr flag, and this corresponds to the device sync with flushing.

Other than the DMA direction and the explicit sync, the usage of this
new buffer type is almost equivalent with the existing
SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV_SG; you can get the page and the address via
snd_sgbuf_get_page() and snd_sgbuf_get_addr(), also calculate the
continuous pages via snd_sgbuf_get_chunk_size().

For those SG-page handling, the non-contig type shares the same ops
with the vmalloc handler.  As we do always vmap the SG pages at first,
the actual address can be deduced from the vmapped address easily
without iterating the SG-list.

      Jonas Hahnfeld authored 
      

The device advertises 8 formats, but only a rate of 48kHz is honored
by the hardware and 24 bits give chopped audio, so only report the
one working combination. This fixes out-of-the-box audio experience
with PipeWire which otherwise attempts to choose S24_3LE (while
PulseAudio defaulted to S16_LE).

      ALSA: hda: avoid write to STATESTS if controller is in reset · b37a1518
      Kai Vehmanen authored 
      The snd_hdac_bus_reset_link() contains logic to clear STATESTS register
before performing controller reset. This code dates back to an old
bugfix in commit e8a7f136 ("[ALSA] hda-intel - Improve HD-audio
codec probing robustness"). Originally the code was added to
azx_reset().

The code was moved around in commit a41d1224 ("ALSA: hda - Embed bus
into controller object") and ended up to snd_hdac_bus_reset_link() and
called primarily via snd_hdac_bus_init_chip().

The logic to clear STATESTS is correct when snd_hdac_bus_init_chip() is
called when controller is not in reset. In this case, STATESTS can be
cleared. This can be useful e.g. when forcing a controller reset to retry
codec probe. A normal non-power-on reset will not clear the bits.

However, this old logic is problematic when controller is already in
reset. The HDA specification states that controller must be taken out of
reset before writing to registers other than GCTL.CRST (1.0a...

      ALSA: usb-audio: Less restriction for low-latency playback mode · 53451b6d
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      The recent support for the improved low-latency playback mode applied
the SNDRV_PCM_INFO_EXPLICIT_SYNC flag for the target streams, but this
was a slight overkill.  The use of the flag above disables effectively
both PCM status and control mmaps, while basically what we want to
track is only about the appl_ptr update.

For less restriction, use a more proper flag,
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_SYNC_APPLPTR instead, which disables only the control
mmap.

      ALSA: hda/realtek: Fix the mic type detection issue for ASUS G551JW · a3fd1a98
      Hui Wang authored 
      We need to define the codec pin 0x1b to be the mic, but somehow
the mic doesn't support hot plugging detection, and Windows also has
this issue, so we set it to phantom headset-mic.

Also the determine_headset_type() often returns the omtp type by a
mistake when we plug a ctia headset, this makes the mic can't record
sound at all. Because most of the headset are ctia type nowadays and
some machines have the fixed ctia type audio jack, it is possible this
machine has the fixed ctia jack too. Here we set this mic jack to
fixed ctia type, this could avoid the mic type detection mistake and
make the ctia headset work stable.

      ALSA: pcm: Workaround for a wrong offset in SYNC_PTR compat ioctl · 228af5a4
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      Michael Forney reported an incorrect padding type that was defined in
the commit 80fe7430 ("ALSA: add new 32-bit layout for
snd_pcm_mmap_status/control") for PCM control mmap data.
His analysis is correct, and this caused the misplacements of PCM
control data on 32bit arch and 32bit compat mode.

The bug is that the __pad2 definition in __snd_pcm_mmap_control64
struct was wrongly with __pad_before_uframe, which should have been
__pad_after_uframe instead.  This struct is used in SYNC_PTR ioctl and
control mmap.  Basically this bug leads to two problems:

- The offset of avail_min field becomes wrong, it's placed right after
  appl_ptr without padding on little-endian

- When appl_ptr and avail_min are read as 64bit values in kernel side,
  the values become either zero or corrupted (mixed up)

One good news is that, because both user-space and kernel
misunderstand the wrong offset, at least, 32bit application running on
32bit kernel wor...

      Werner Sembach authored 
      

This applies a SND_PCI_QUIRK(...) to the TongFang PHxTxX1 barebone. This
fixes the issue of the internal Microphone not working after booting
another OS.

When booting a certain another OS this barebone keeps some coeff settings
even after a cold shutdown. These coeffs prevent the microphone detection
from working in Linux, making the Laptop think that there is always an
external microphone plugged-in and therefore preventing the use of the
internal one.

The relevant indexes and values where gathered by naively diff-ing and
reading a working and a non-working coeff dump.

      ALSA: seq: Fix a potential UAF by wrong private_free call order · 1f8763c5
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      John Keeping reported and posted a patch for a potential UAF in
rawmidi sequencer destruction: the snd_rawmidi_dev_seq_free() may be
called after the associated rawmidi object got already freed.
After a deeper look, it turned out that the bug is rather the
incorrect private_free call order for a snd_seq_device.  The
snd_seq_device private_free gets called at the release callback of the
sequencer device object, while this was rather expected to be executed
at the snd_device call chains that runs at the beginning of the whole
card-free procedure.  It's been broken since the rewrite of
sequencer-device binding (although it hasn't surfaced because the
sequencer device release happens usually right along with the card
device release).

This patch corrects the private_free call to be done in the right
place, at snd_seq_device_dev_free().

      ALSA: usb-audio: Avoid killing in-flight URBs during draining · 813a17ca
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      While draining a stream, ALSA PCM core stops the stream by issuing
snd_pcm_stop() after all data has been sent out.  And, at PCM trigger
stop, currently USB-audio driver kills the in-flight URBs explicitly,
then at sync-stop ops, sync with the finish of all remaining URBs.
This might result in a drop of the drained samples as most of
USB-audio devices / hosts allow relatively long in-flight samples (as
a sort of FIFO).

For avoiding the trimming, this patch changes the stream-stop behavior
during PCM draining state.  Under that condition, the pending URBs
won't be killed.  The leftover in-flight URBs are caught by the
sync-stop operation that shall be performed after the trigger-stop
operation.
