As of v4.12, snd_pcm_hw_params_choose() is just called in a process
context of ioctl(2) with SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS. The function locates
in a different file, which has no tracepoints.
This commit moves the function to a file with the tracepoints for later
commit.

Now all materials are ready, let's allow the direct in-kernel
read/write, i.e. a kernel-space buffer is passed for read or write,
instead of the normal user-space buffer. This feature is used by OSS
layer and UAC1 driver, for example.
The __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() takes in_kernel argument that indicates the
in-kernel buffer copy. When this flag is set, another transfer code
is used. It's either via copy_kernel PCM ops or the normal memcpy(),
depending on the driver setup.
As external API, snd_pcm_kernel_read(), *_write() and other variants
are provided.
That's all. This support is really simple because of the code
refactoring until now.

Both __snd_pcm_lib_read() and __snd_pcm_write() functions have almost

Other than that, there should be no functional change by this patch.

This patch proceeds more abstraction of PCM read/write loop codes.
For both interleaved and non-interleaved transfers, the same copy or
silence transfer code (which is defined as pcm_transfer_f) is used
now. This became possible since we switched to byte size to copy_*
and fill_silence ops argument instead of frames.
And, for both read and write, we can use the same copy function (which
is defined as pcm_copy_f), just depending on whether interleaved or
non-interleaved mode.
The transfer function is determined at the beginning of the loop,
depending on whether the driver gives the specific copy ops or it's
the standard read/write.
Another bonus by this change is that we now guarantee the silencing
behavior when NULL buffer is passed to write helpers. It'll simplify
some codes later.

For supporting the explicit in-kernel copy of PCM buffer data, and
also for further code refactoring, three new PCM ops, copy_user,
copy_kernel and fill_silence, are introduced. The old copy and
silence ops will be deprecated and removed later once when all callers
are converted.
The copy_kernel ops is the new one, and it's supposed to transfer the
PCM data from the given kernel buffer to the hardware ring-buffer (or
vice-versa depending on the stream direction), while the copy_user ops
is equivalent with the former copy ops, to transfer the data from the
user-space buffer.
The major difference of the new copy_* and fill_silence ops from the
previous ops is that the new ops take bytes instead of frames for size
and position arguments. It has two merits: first, it allows the
callback implementation often simpler (just call directly memcpy() &
co), and second, it may unify the implementations of both interleaved
and non-interleaved cases, as we'll see in the later patch.
As of this stage, copy_kernel ops isn't referred yet, but only
copy_user is used.

When snd_pcm_add_chmap_ctls() is called to the PCM stream to which a
chmap has been already assigned, it returns as an error due to the
conflicting snd_ctl_add() result. However, this also clears the
already assigned chmap_kctl field via pcm_chmap_ctl_private_free(),
and becomes inconsistent in the later operation.
This patch adds the check of the conflicting chmap kctl before
actually trying to allocate / assign. The check failure is treated as
a kernel warning, as the double call of snd_pcm_add_chmap_ctls() is
basically a driver bug and having the stack trace would help
developers to figure out the bad code path.

Currently kill_fasync() is called outside the stream lock in
snd_pcm_period_elapsed(). This is potentially racy, since the stream
may get released even during the irq handler is running. Although
snd_pcm_release_substream() calls snd_pcm_drop(), this doesn't
guarantee that the irq handler finishes, thus the kill_fasync() call
outside the stream spin lock may be invoked after the substream is
detached, as recently reported by KASAN.
As a quick workaround, move kill_fasync() call inside the stream
lock. The fasync is rarely used interface, so this shouldn't have a
big impact from the performance POV.
Ideally, we should implement some sync mechanism for the proper finish
of stream and irq handler. But this oneliner should suffice for most
cases, so far.

Currently the msbits constraints requires to specify a specific sample
format width for which the constraint should be applied. But often the
number of most significant bits is not sample format specific, but rather a
absolute limit. E.g. the PCM interface might accept 32-bit and 24-bit
samples, but the DAC has a 16-bit resolution and throws away the LSBs. In
this case for both 32-bit and 24-bit format msbits should be set to 16. This
patch extends snd_pcm_hw_constraint_msbits() so that a wildcard constraint
can be setup that is applied for all formats with a sample width larger than
the specified msbits. Choosing the wildcard constraint is done by setting
the sample width parameter of the function to 0.

ALSA PCM core has a mechanism tracking the PCM hwptr updates for
analyzing XRUNs. But its log is limited (up to 10) and its log output
is a kernel message, which is hard to handle.
In this patch, the hwptr logging is moved to the tracing
infrastructure instead of its own. Not only the hwptr updates but
also XRUN and hwptr errors are recorded on the trace log, so that user
can see such events at the exact timing.
The new "snd_pcm" entry will appear in the tracing events:
# ls -F /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/snd_pcm
enable filter hw_ptr_error/ hwptr/ xrun/
The hwptr is for the regular hwptr update events. An event trace
looks like:
aplay-26187 [004] d..3 4012.834761: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: POS: pos=488, old=0, base=0, period=1024, buf=16384
"POS" shows the hwptr update by the explicit position update call and
"IRQ" means the hwptr update by the interrupt,
i.e. snd_pcm_period_elapsed() call. The "pos" is the passed
ring-buffer offset by the caller, "old" is the previous hwptr, "base"
is the hwptr base position, "period" and "buf" are period- and
buffer-size of the target PCM substream.
(Note that the hwptr position displayed here isn't the ring-buffer
offset. It increments up to the PCM position boundary.)
The XRUN event appears similarly, but without "pos" field.
The hwptr error events appear with the PCM identifier and its reason
string, such as "Lost interrupt?".
The XRUN and hwptr error reports on kernel message are still left, can
be turned on/off via xrun_debug proc like before. But the bit 3, 4, 5
and 6 bits of xrun_debug proc are dropped by this patch. Also, along
with the change, the message strings have been reformatted to be a bit
more consistent.
Last but not least, the hwptr reporting is enabled only when
CONFIG_SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG is set.

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).

Group read of hw_ptr, tstamp and jiffies in a sequence
for better correlation. Previous code took timestamp at the
end, which could introduce delays between audio time and
system time.

In the PCM read/write loop, the driver calls snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr()
at each time at the beginning of the loop. Russell King reported that
this hogs CPU significantly.
The current code assumes that the pointer callback is very fast and
cheap, also not too much fine grained. It's not true in all cases.
When the pointer advances short samples while the read/write copy has
been performed, the driver updates the hw_ptr and gets avail > 0
again. Then it tries to read/write these small chunks. This repeats
until the avail really gets to zero.
For avoiding this situation, a simple workaround is to call
snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr() only once at starting the loop, assuming that
the read/write copy is performed fast enough. If the available count
becomes short, it goes to snd_pcm_wait_avail() anyway, and this
processes right.

Allows the constraint lists to be declared const by drivers which seems
reasonable; there's plenty of other constification we could do if we were
being complete but this was easy and quick.
