Takashi Sakamoto a98401518d ALSA: timer: fix wrong comment to refer to 'SNDRV_TIMER_PSFLG_*'
ALSA timer core has a comment referring to 'SNDRV_MIXER_PSFLG_*' in
a definition of 'struct snd_timer_params' of UAPI header. I can see
this in initial state of ALSA timer core, at least in
'alsa-driver-0.4.0.tar.gz'.

This commit fixes the comment.

ASoC: soc-generic-dmaengine-pcm: Fix sparse warnings
Currently the following sparse warnings are observed:

sound/soc/soc-generic-dmaengine-pcm.c:185:34: warning: restricted snd_pcm_format_t degrades to integer
sound/soc/soc-generic-dmaengine-pcm.c:186:66: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)

Fix it by changing the loop variable to be of 'snd_pcm_format_t'.

Also introduce a SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_FIRST label, which corresponds to the
first member (index 0) of the snd_pcm_format_t formats.

This format is similar to existing SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_{S,U}20_3 that keep
20-bit PCM samples in 3 bytes, however i.MX6 platform SSI FIFO does not
allow 3-byte accesses (including DMA) so a 4-byte (more conventional)

   tools/arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h,
   tools/include/linux/hash.h:

     Remove the SPDX tag where the kernel version does not have it.

   tools/include/uapi/linux/vhost.h,
   tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h:

     Add the SPDX tag of the respective kernel header.

 - tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h,

   tools/include/uapi/linux/hw_breakpoint.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/stat.h,

     Change the tag to the kernel header version:

       -/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */
       +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */

Also sync other header details:

 - include/uapi/sound/asound.h:

     Fix pointless end of line whitespace noise the header grew in this cycle.

 - tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:

     Sync the code and add tools/include/asm/export.h with dummy wrappers
     to support building the kernel side code in a tooling header environment.

 - tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:

     Sync other details that don't impact tooling's use of the ABIs.

Greg Kroah-Hartman e2be04c7f9 License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

Takashi Iwai 4b671f5774 ALSA: pcm: Add an ioctl to specify the supported protocol version
We have an ioctl to inform the PCM protocol version the running kernel
supports, but there is no way to know which protocol version the
user-space can understand.  This lack of information caused headaches
in the past when we tried to extend the ABI.  For example, because we
couldn't guarantee the validity of the reserved bytes, we had to
introduce a new ioctl SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS_EXT for assigning a few
new fields in the formerly reserved bits.  If we could know that it's
a new alsa-lib, we could assume the availability of the new fields,
thus we could have reused the existing SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS.

In order to improve the ABI extensibility, this patch adds a new ioctl
for user-space to inform its supporting protocol version to the
kernel.  By reporting the supported protocol from user-space, the
kernel can judge which feature should be provided and which not.

With the addition of the new ioctl, the PCM protocol version is bumped
to 2.0.14, too.  User-space checks the kernel protocol version via
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_PVERSION, then it sets the supported version back via
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_USER_PVERSION.

Takashi Iwai 42f945970a ALSA: pcm: Add the explicit appl_ptr sync support
Currently x86 platforms use the PCM status/control mmaps for
transferring the PCM status and appl_ptr between kernel and
user-spaces.  The mmap is a most efficient way of communication, but
it has a drawback per its nature, namely, it can't notify the change
explicitly to kernel.

The lack of appl_ptr update notification is a problem on a few
existing drivers, but it's mostly a small issue and negligible.
However, a new type of driver that uses DSP for a deep buffer
management requires the exact position of appl_ptr for calculating the
buffer prefetch size, and the asynchronous appl_ptr update between
kernel and user-spaces becomes a significant problem for it.

How can we enforce user-space to report the appl_ptr update?  The way
is relatively simple.  Just by disabling the PCM control mmap, the
user-space is supposed to fall back to the mode using SYNC_PTR ioctl,
and the kernel gets control over that.  This fallback mode is used in
all non-x86 platforms as default, and also in the 32bit compatible
model on all platforms including x86.  It's been implemented already
over a decade, so we can say it's fairly safe and stably working.

With the help of the knowledge above, this patch introduces a new PCM
info flag SNDRV_PCM_INFO_SYNC_APPLPTR for achieving the appl_ptr sync
from user-space.  When a driver sets this flag at open, the PCM status
/ control mmap is disabled, which effectively switches to SYNC_PTR
mode in user-space side.

In this version, both PCM status and control mmaps are disabled
although only the latter, control mmap, is the target.  It's because
the current alsa-lib implementation supposes that both status and
control mmaps are always coupled, thus it handles a fatal error when
only one of them fails.

Of course, the disablement of the status/control mmaps may bring a
slight performance overhead.  Thus, as of now, this should be used
only for the dedicated devices that deserves.

Note that the disablement of mmap is a sort of workaround.  In the
later patch, we'll introduce the way to identify the protocol version
alsa-lib supports, and keep mmap working while the sync_ptr is
performed together.

Pierre-Louis Bossart 229d043096 ALSA: core: selection of audio_tstamp type and accuracy reports
Audio timestamps can be extracted from sample counters, wall clocks,
PHC clocks (Ethernet AVB), on-demand synchronized snapshots. This
patch provides the ability to report timestamping capabilities, select
timestamp types and retrieve timestamp accuracy, if supported.
Details can be found in Documentations/sound/alsa/timestamping.txt

This functionality is introduced by reclaiming the reserved_aligned
field introduced by commit9c7066aef4a5eb8e4063de28f06c508bf6f2963a
in snd_pcm_status to provide userspace with selection/query capabilities.
Additional driver_tstamp and audio_tstamp_accuracy fields are also added.

snd_pcm_mmap_status remains a read-only structure with only
the audio timestamp value accessible from user space. The selection
of audio timestamp type is done through snd_pcm_status only

This commit does not impact ABI and does not impact the default
behavior. By default audio timestamp is aligned with hw_pointer and
reports the DMA position. Backwards compatibility is handled by using
the HDAudio wall clock for playback and the hw_ptr for all other
cases.

For timestamp selection a new STATUS_EXT ioctl is introduced with
read/write parameters. Alsa-lib will be modified to make use of
STATUS_EXT.

This patch adds two formats for Direct Stream Digital (DSD), a
pulse-density encoding format which is described here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Stream_Digital

DSD operates on 2.8, 5.6 or 11.2MHz sample rates and as a 1-bit
stream.

The two new types added by this patch describe streams that are capable
of handling DSD samples in DOP format as 8-bit or in 16-bit (or at a x8
or x16 data rate, respectively).

DSD itself specifies samples in *bit*, while DOP and ALSA handle them
as *bytes*. Hence, a factor of 8 or 16 has to be applied for the sample
rare configuration, according to the following table:

                                                  configured hardware

Pierre-Louis Bossart 4eeaaeaea1 ALSA: core: add hooks for audio timestamps
ALSA did not provide any direct means to infer the audio time for A/V
sync and system/audio time correlations (eg. PulseAudio).
Applications had to track the number of samples read/written and
add/subtract the number of samples queued in the ring buffer.  This
accounting led to small errors, typically several samples, due to the
two-step process.  Computing the audio time in the kernel is more
direct, as all the information is available in the same routines.

Also add new .audio_wallclock routine to enable fine-grain synchronization
between monotonic system time and audio hardware time.
Using the wallclock, if supported in hardware, allows for a
much better sub-microsecond precision and a common drift tracking for
all devices sharing the same wall clock (master clock).
