2014-01-09ALSA: Remove memory reservation code from memalloc helperTakashi Iwai1-7/+0
Nowadays we have CMA for obtaining the contiguous memory pages efficiently. Let's kill the old kludge for reserving the memory pages for large buffers. It was rarely useful (only for preserving pages among module reloading or a little help by an early boot scripting), used only by a couple of drivers, and yet it gives too much ugliness than its benefit.

2013-12-10ALSA: memalloc.h - fix wrong truncation of dma_addr_tStefano Panella1-1/+1
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.

2013-10-24ALSA: Add ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_ALLOCATOR for SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_IRAM codeTakashi Iwai1-0/+4
It turned out that we can't use gen_pool_*() functions on archs without CONFIG_GENERIC_ALLOCATOR (resulting in missing symbols), since linux/genalloc.h doesn't provide dummy functions for all. We'd be able to fix linux/genalloc.h size, but I take an easier path for now... Reported-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
2013-10-24ALSA: Add SoC on-chip internal ram support for DMA buffer allocationNicolin Chen1-0/+1
Now it's quite common that an SoC contains its on-chip internal RAM. By using this RAM space for DMA buffer during audio playback/record, we can shutdown the voltage for external RAM to save power. So add new DEV type with iram malloc()/free() and accordingly modify current default mmap() for the iram circumstance.

2009-07-08ALSA: Fix SG-buffer DMA with non-coherent architecturesTakashi Iwai1-0/+6
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. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2008-08-25ALSA: Allocate larger pages in sgbufTakashi Iwai1-1/+3
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.

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!
