The culprit is that the snd_hda_codec_configure() unregisters the

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.

ALSA: pcm: Fix possible inconsistent appl_ptr update via mmap
The ALSA PCM core refers to the appl_ptr value stored on the mmapped

the atomic access when the value gets updated concurrently from the

In most of codes, this is no big problem, but still there are a few
places that may result in slight inconsistencies because they access
runtime->control->appl_ptr multiple times; that is, the second read
might be a different value from the first value. It can be even
backward or jumping, as we have no control for it. Hence, the
calculation may give an unexpected value. Luckily, there is no
security vulnerability by that, as far as I've checked. But still we

we just read once, store it to a local variable and use it for the

ALSA: pcm: add 'applptr' event of tracepoint
In design of ALSA PCM core, status and control data for runtime of ALSA
PCM substream are shared between kernel/user spaces by page frame
mapping with read-only attribute. Both of hardware-side and
application-side position on PCM buffer are maintained as a part of
the status data. In a view of ALSA PCM application, these two positions
can be updated by executing ioctl(2) with some commands.
There's an event of tracepoint for hardware-side position; 'hwptr'.
On the other hand, no events for application-side position. This commit
adds a new event for this purpose; 'applptr'. When the application-side
position is changed in kernel space, this event is probed with useful
information for developers.
I note that the event is not probed for all of ALSA PCM applications, When
applications are written by read/write programming scenario, the event is
surely probed. The applications execute ioctl(2) with
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_[READ|WRITE][N/I]_FRAMES to read/write any PCM frame, then
ALSA PCM core updates the application-side position in kernel land.
However, when applications are written by mmap programming scenario, if
maintaining the application side position in kernel space accurately,
applications should voluntarily execute ioctl(2) with
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR to commit the number of handled PCM frames. If
not voluntarily, the application-side position is not changed, thus the
added event is not probed.
There's a loophole, using architectures to which ALSA PCM core judges
non cache coherent. In this case, the status and control data is not mapped
into processe's VMA for any applications. Userland library, alsa-lib, is
programmed for this case. It executes ioctl(2) with
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR command every time to requiring the status and
control data.
ARM is such an architecture. Below is an example with serial sound interface
(ssi) on i.mx6 quad core SoC. I use v4.1 kernel released by fsl-community
with patches from VIA Tech. Inc. for VAB820, and my backport patches for
relevant features for this patchset. I use Ubuntu 17.04 from
ports.ubuntu.com as user land for armhf architecture.
We can surely see 'applptr' event is probed even if the application run
for mmap programming scenario ('-M' option and 'hw' plugin). Below is a
result of strace:
We can see 7 calls of ioctl(2) with SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR per loop with
call of poll(2). 128 PCM frames are transferred per loop of one poll(2),
because the PCM substream is configured with S16_LE format and 1 channel
(2 byte * 1 * 128 = 256 bytes). This equals to the size of period of PCM
buffer. Comparing to the probed data, one of the 7 calls of ioctl(2) is
actually used to commit the number of copied PCM frames to kernel space.
The other calls are just used to check runtime status of PCM substream;
e.g. XRUN.
The tracepoint event is useful to investigate this case. I note that below
modules are related to the above sample.
My additional note is lock acquisition. The event is probed under acquiring
PCM stream lock. This means that calculation in the event is free from
any hardware events.

Many drivers bind the sequencer stuff in off-load by another driver

PCM core fixups it roughly. Currently, this operation places in a
function snd_pcm_hw_refine(). It can be moved to a function
fixup_unreferenced_params() because it doesn't affects operations
between these two functions.
This idea is better to bundle codes with similar purposes and this commit
achieves it.
ALSA: pcm: calculate non-mask/non-interval parameters always when possible
A structure for parameters of PCM runtime has parameters which are
not classified as mask/interval type. They are decided only when
corresponding normal parameters have unique values.
* struct snd_pcm_hw_params.msbits
* struct snd_pcm_hw_params.rate_num
* struct snd_pcm_hw_params.rate_den
* struct snd_pcm_hw_params.fifo_size
Current implementation of hw_params ioctl sometimes doesn't decide these
parameters even if corresponding parameters are fixed, because these
parameters are evaluated before a call of snd_pcm_hw_params_choose().
This commit adds a helper function to process the parameters and call it
in proper positions.
ALSA: pcm: add comment about application of rule to PCM parameters
Drivers add rules of parameters to runtime of PCM substream, when
applications open ALSA PCM character device. When applications call
ioctl(2) with SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_REFINE or SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS, the
rules are applied to the parameters and return the result to user space.
The rule can have dependency between parameters. Additionally, it can have
condition flags about application of rules. Userspace applications can
indicate the flags to suppress change of parameters.
ALSA: pcm: use helper functions to check whether parameters are determined
A commit 8bea869c5e56 ("ALSA: PCM midlevel: improve fifo_size handling")
allows drivers to implement calculation of fifo size in parameter
structure. This calculation runs only when two of the other parameters
have single value.
In ALSA PCM core, there're some helper functions for the case. This commit
applies the functions instead of value comparison.
This commit modifies current for readability in below aspects:
- use bool type variable instead of int type variable assigned to 0/1
- move variable definition from loop to top of the function definition
ALSA: pcm: remove function local variable with alternative evaluation
A local variable is used to judge whether a parameter should be handled
due to reverse dependency of the other rules. However, this can be
obsoleted by check of a sentinel in dependency array.
This commit removes the local variable and check the sentinel to reduce
stack usage.
ALSA: pcm: use goto statement instead of while statement to reduce indentation
In a process to calculate parameters of PCM substream, application of all
rules is iterated several times till parameter dependencies are satisfied.
In current implementation, two loops are used for the design, however this
brings two-level indentation and decline readability.
This commit attempts to reduce the indentation by using goto statement,
instead of outer while loop.
ALSA: pcm: add a helper function to apply parameter rules
Application of rules to parameters of PCM substream is done in a call of
snd_pcm_hw_refine(), while the function includes much codes and is not
enough friendly to readers.
This commit splits the codes to a separated function so that readers can
get it easily. I leave desicion into compilers to merge the function into
its callee.
ALSA: pcm: add a helper function to constrain interval-type parameters
Application of constraints to interval-type parameters for PCM substream
is done in a call of snd_pcm_hw_refine(), while the function includes
much codes and is not enough friendly to readers.
This commit splits the codes to a separated function so that readers can
get it easily. I leave desicion into compilers to merge the function into
its callee.
ALSA: pcm: add a helper function to constrain mask-type parameters
Application of constraints to mask-type parameters for PCM substream is
done in a call of snd_pcm_hw_refine(), while the function includes much
codes and is not enough friendly to readers.
This commit splits the codes to a separated function so that readers can
get it easily. I leave desicion into compilers to merge the function into

ALSA: pcm: enable parameter tracepoints only when CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is enabled
In a previous commit, tracepoints are added for PCM parameter processing.
As long as I know, this implementation increases size of relocatable
object by 35%. For vendors who are conscious of memory footprint, it
brings apparent disadvantage.
This commit utilizes CONFIG_SND_DEBUG configuration to enable/disable the
tracepoints.
ALSA: pcm: tracepoints for refining PCM parameters
When working for devices which support configurable modes for its data
transmission or which consists of several components, developers are
likely to use rules of parameters of PCM substream. However, there's no
infrastructure to assist their work.
In old days, ALSA PCM core got a local 'RULES_DEBUG' macro to debug
refinement of parameters for PCM substream. Although this is merely a
makeshift. With some modifications, we get the infrastructure.
This commit is for the purpose. Refinement of mask/interval type of
PCM parameters is probed as tracepoint events as 'hw_mask_param' and
'hw_interval_param' on existent 'snd_pcm' subsystem.
