      ALSA: usb-audio: Add quirk for VF0770 · 48827e1d
      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 spec,
3.3.7). The write to STATESTS in snd_hdac_bus_reset_link() will be lost
if the controller is already in reset per the HDA specification mentioned.

This has been harmless on older hardware. On newer generation of Intel
PCIe based HDA controllers, if configured to report issues, this write
will emit an unsupported request error. If ACPI Platform Error Interface
(APEI) is enabled in kernel, this will end up to kernel log.

Fix the code in snd_hdac_bus_reset_link() to only clear the STATESTS if
the function is called when controller is not in reset. Otherwise
clearing the bits is not possible and should be skipped.

      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 works as is.  Also, 64bit applications are unaffected
because the padding size is zero.  The remaining problem is the 32bit
compat mode; as mentioned in the above, avail_min is placed right
after appl_ptr on little-endian archs, 64bit kernel reads bogus values
for appl_ptr updates, which may lead to streaming bugs like jumping,
XRUN or whatever unexpected.
(However, we haven't heard any serious bug reports due to this over
years, so practically seen, it's fairly safe to assume that the impact
by this bug is limited.)

Ideally speaking, we should correct the wrong mmap status control
definition.  But this would cause again incompatibility with the
existing binaries, and fixing it (e.g. by renumbering ioctls) would be
really messy.

So, as of this patch, we only correct the behavior of 32bit compat
mode and keep the rest as is.  Namely, the SYNC_PTR ioctl is now
handled differently in compat mode to read/write the 32bit values at
the right offsets.  The control mmap of 32bit apps on 64bit kernels
has been already disabled (which is likely rather an overlook, but
this worked fine at this time :), so covering SYNC_PTR ioctl should
suffice as a fallback.

Fixes: 80fe7430

      ALSA: pcsp: Make hrtimer forwarding more robust · f2ff7147
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The hrtimer callback pcsp_do_timer() prepares rearming of the timer with
hrtimer_forward(). hrtimer_forward() is intended to provide a mechanism to
forward the expiry time of the hrtimer by a multiple of the period argument
so that the expiry time greater than the time provided in the 'now'
argument.

pcsp_do_timer() invokes hrtimer_forward() with the current timer expiry
time as 'now' argument. That's providing a periodic timer expiry, but is
not really robust when the timer callback is delayed so that the resulting
new expiry time is already in the past which causes the callback to be
invoked immediately again. If the timer is delayed then the back to back
invocation is not really making it better than skipping the missed
periods. Sound is distorted in any case.

Use hrtimer_forward_now() which ensures that the next expiry is in the
future. This prevents hogging the CPU in the timer expiry code and allows
later on to remove hrtimer_forward() from the publi...
