ALSA: memalloc: Drop special handling of GFP for CONTINUOUS allocation

Now that all users of snd_dma_continuous_data() is gone, let's drop
this ugly (and dangerous) way.

After this commit, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS may take the standard
device pointer instead of the hacked pointer by the macro above, and
the memalloc core refers to the coherent_dma_mask of the given
device like other SNDRV_DMA_TYPE. It's still allowed to pass NULL
there, and in that case, the allocation is performed always in the
normal zone.

For SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_VMALLOC, the device pointer is simply ignored.

ALSA: memalloc: Add fallback SG-buffer allocations for x86

The recent change for memory allocator replaced the SG-buffer handling
helper for x86 with the standard non-contiguous page handler. This
works for most cases, but there is a corner case I obviously
overlooked, namely, the fallback of non-contiguous handler without
IOMMU. When the system runs without IOMMU, the core handler tries to
use the continuous pages with a single SGL entry. It works nicely for
most cases, but when the system memory gets fragmented, the large
allocation may fail frequently.

Ideally the non-contig handler could deal with the proper SG pages,
it's cumbersome to extend for now. As a workaround, here we add new
types for (minimalistic) SG allocations, instead, so that the
allocator falls back to those types automatically when the allocation
with the standard API failed.

BTW, one better (but pretty minor) improvement from the previous
SG-buffer code is that this provides the proper mmap support without
the PCM's page fault handling.

ALSA: memalloc: Unify x86 SG-buffer handling (take#3)

This is a second attempt to unify the x86-specific SG-buffer handling
code with the new standard non-contiguous page handler.

The first try (in commit 2d9ea39917a4) failed due to the wrong page
and address calculations, hence reverted. (And the second try failed
due to a copy&paste error.) Now it's corrected with the previous fix
for noncontig pages, and the proper sg page iteration by this patch.

After the migration, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DMA_SG becomes identical with
SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_NONCONTIG on x86, while others still fall back to
SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV.

ALSA: memalloc: Convert x86 SG-buffer handling with non-contiguous type

We've had an x86-specific SG-buffer handling code, but now it can be
merged gracefully with the standard non-contiguous DMA pages.

After the migration, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DMA_SG becomes identical with
SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_NONCONTIG on x86, while others still fall back to
SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV.

The remaining problem is about the SG-buffer with WC pages: the DMA
core stuff on x86 doesn't treat it well, so we still need some special
handling to manipulate the page attribute manually. The mmap handler
for SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV_SG_WC still returns -ENOENT intentionally for
the fallback to the default handler.

ALSA: memalloc: Support for non-coherent page allocation

Following to the addition of non-contiguous pages, this patch adds the
new contiguous non-coherent page allocation to the standard memalloc
helper. Like the previous non-contig type, this non-coherent type is
also directional and requires the explicit sync, too. Hence the
driver using this type of buffer may need to set
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_EXPLICIT_SYNC flag to the PCM hardware.info as well,
unless it's set up in the managed mode.

# a25684a9 17-Oct-2021 Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

ALSA: memalloc: Support for non-contiguous page allocation

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.

ALSA: core: Add device-managed page allocator helper

This is a preparation for allowing devres usages more widely in
various sound drivers. As a first step, this patch adds a new
allocator function, snd_devm_alloc_pages(), to manage the allocated
pages via devres, so that the pages will be automagically released as
device unbinding.

Unlike the old snd_dma_alloc_pages(), the new function returns
directly the snd_dma_buffer pointer. The caller needs NULL-check for
the allocation error appropriately.

Also, since a real device pointer is mandatory for devres,
SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS or SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_VMALLOC type can't be used
for this function.

ALSA: Replace snd_malloc_pages() and snd_free_pages() with standard helpers, take#2

snd_malloc_pages() and snd_free_pages() are merely thin wrappers of
the standard page allocator / free functions. Even the arguments are
compatible with some standard helpers, so there is little merit of
keeping these wrappers.

This patch replaces the all existing callers of snd_malloc_pages() and
snd_free_pages() with the direct calls of the standard helper
functions. In this version, we use a recently introduced one,
alloc_pages_exact(), which suits better than the old
snd_malloc_pages() implementation for our purposes. Then we can avoid
the waste of pages by alignment to power-of-two.

Since alloc_pages_exact() does split pages, we need no longer
__GFP_COMP flag; or better to say, we must not pass __GFP_COMP to
alloc_pages_exact(). So the former unconditional addition of
__GFP_COMP flag in snd_malloc_pages() is dropped, as well as in most
other places.

ALSA: memalloc.h - fix wrong truncation of dma_addr_t

When running a 32bit kernel the hda_intel driver is still reporting
a 64bit dma_mask if the HW supports it.

From sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:

/* allow 64bit DMA address if supported by H/W */
if ((gcap & ICH6_GCAP_64OK) && !pci_set_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)))
pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(64));
else {
pci_set_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));
pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));
}

which means when there is a call to dma_alloc_coherent from
snd_malloc_dev_pages a machine address bigger than 32bit can be returned.
This can be true in particular if running the 32bit kernel as a pv dom0
under the Xen Hypervisor or PAE on bare metal.

The problem is that when calling setup_bdle to program the BLE the
dma_addr_t returned from the dma_alloc_coherent is wrongly truncated
from snd_sgbuf_get_addr if running a 32bit kernel:

static inline dma_addr_t snd_sgbuf_get_addr(struct snd_dma_buffer *dmab,
size_t offset)
{
struct snd_sg_buf *sgbuf = dmab->private_data;
dma_addr_t addr = sgbuf->table[offset >> PAGE_SHIFT].addr;
addr &= PAGE_MASK;
return addr + offset % PAGE_SIZE;
}

where PAGE_MASK in a 32bit kernel is zeroing the upper 32bit af addr.

Without this patch the HW will fetch the 32bit truncated address,
which is not the one obtained from dma_alloc_coherent and will result
to a non working audio but can corrupt host memory at a random location.

The current patch apply to v3.13-rc3-74-g6c843f5

ALSA: Fix SG-buffer DMA with non-coherent architectures

Using SG-buffers with dma_alloc_coherent() is often very inefficient
on non-coherent architectures because a tracking record could be
allocated in addition for each dma_alloc_coherent() call.
Instead, simply disable SG-buffers but just allocate normal continuous
buffers on non-supported (currently all but x86) architectures.

ALSA: Allocate larger pages in sgbuf

Most hardwares have limited buffer-descriptor table length. This
also restricts the max buffer size of the sound driver.
For example, snd-hda-intel has 1MB buffer size limit, and this is
because it can have at most 256 BDL entries. For supporting larger
buffers, we need to allocate larger pages even for sg-buffers.

This patch changes the sgbuf allocation code to try to allocate
larger pages first. At each head of the allocated pages, the
number of allocated pages is stored in the lowest bits of the
corresponding entry of the table addr field. This change isn't
visible as long as the driver uses snd_sgbuf_get_addr() helper.

Also, the patch adds a new function, snd_pcm_sgbuf_get_chunk_size().
This returns the size of the chunk on continuous pages starting at
the given position offset. If the chunk reaches to a non-continuous
page, it returns the size to the boundary.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
