<title>ALSA: pcm: Replace PCM hwptr tracking with tracepoints</title>

<id>f5914908a5b7b2338f210e56827a1ef35585dc6d</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Instead of keeping a separate snd-page-alloc module, merge into the
core snd-pcm module, as we don't need to keep it as an individual
module due to the drop of page reservation.

For the PXA DMA rework, we need the generic dmaengine implementation
that currently lives in sound/soc for standalone (non-ASoC) AC'97
support.

Move it to sound/core, and rename the Kconfig symbol.

<title>ALSA: Fix SG-buffer DMA with non-coherent architectures</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>ALSA: Build jack detection</title>

Since jack detection requires the input subsystem which may not be
desired on small systems it is not built unless required by a driver
that is being built. Drivers using jack detection should use a pattern
like this:

config SND_FOO
        tristate "..."
        ...
        select SND_JACK if INPUT=y || INPUT=SND

to ensure that the jack detection API is enabled if the input subsystem
is.  If the input subsystem is not enabled then a stub version of the
API is provided.
