Benjamin Herrenschmidt 3674f19dab ALSA: vmalloc buffers should use normal mmap
It's a big no-no to use pgprot_noncached() when mmap'ing such buffers
into userspace since they are mapped cachable in kernel space.

This can cause all sort of interesting things ranging from to garbled
sound to lockups on various architectures. I've observed that usb-audio
is broken on powerpc 4xx for example because of that.

Also remove the now unused snd_pcm_lib_mmap_noncached(). It's
an arch business to know when to use uncached mappings, there's
already hacks for MIPS inside snd_pcm_default_mmap() and other
archs are supposed to use dma_mmap_coherent().

(See my separate patch that adds dma_mmap_coherent() to powerpc)

Clemens Ladisch ab69a4904b ALSA: pcm: support for period wakeup disabling
This patch allows to disable period interrupts which are
not needed when the application relies on a system timer
to wake-up and refill the ring buffer. The behavior of
the driver is left unchanged, and interrupts are only
disabled if the application requests this configuration.
The behavior in case of underruns is slightly different,
instead of being detected during the period interrupts the
underruns are detected when the application calls
snd_pcm_update_avail, which in turns forces a refresh of the
hw pointer and shows the buffer is empty.

More specifically this patch makes a lot of sense when
PulseAudio relies on timer-based scheduling to access audio
devices such as HDAudio or Intel SST. Disabling interrupts
removes two unwanted wake-ups due to period elapsed events
in low-power playback modes. It also simplifies PulseAudio
voice modules used for speech calls.

To quote Lennart "This patch looks very interesting and
desirable. This is something have long been waiting for."

Support for this in hardware drivers is optional.

Jaroslav Kysela bd76af0f87 ALSA: pcm midlevel code - add time check for double interrupt acknowledge
The current code in pcm_lib.c do all checks using only the position
in the ring buffer. Unfortunately, where the interrupts gets delayed or
merged into one, we need another timing source to check when the
buffer size boundary overlaps to avoid the wrong updating of the
ring buffer pointers.

This code uses jiffies to check the right time window without any
performance impact.

James Bottomley 82f682514a pm_qos: Get rid of the allocation in pm_qos_add_request()
All current users of pm_qos_add_request() have the ability to supply
the memory required by the pm_qos routines, so make them do this and
eliminate the kmalloc() with pm_qos_add_request().  This has the
double benefit of making the call never fail and allowing it to be
called from atomic context.

David Dillow 5daeba34d2 ALSA: pcm_lib: avoid timing jitter in snd_pcm_read/write()
When using poll() to wait for the next period -- or avail_min samples --
one gets a consistent delay for each system call that is usually just a
little short of the selected period time. However, When using
snd_pcm_read/write(), one gets a jittery delay that alternates between
less than a millisecond and approximately two period times. This is
caused by snd_pcm_lib_{read,write}1() transferring any available samples
to the user's buffer and adjusting the application pointer prior to
sleeping to the end of the current period. When the next period
interrupt occurs, there is then less than avail_min samples remaining to
be transferred in the period, so we end up sleeping until a second
period occurs.

This is solved by using runtime->twake as the number of samples needed
for a wakeup in addition to selecting the proper wait queue to wake in
snd_pcm_update_state(). This requires twake to be non-zero when used
by snd_pcm_lib_{read,write}1() even if avail_min is zero.

Mark Gross ed77134bfc PM QOS update
This patch changes the string based list management to a handle base
implementation to help with the hot path use of pm-qos, it also renames
much of the API to use "request" as opposed to "requirement" that was
used in the initial implementation.  I did this because request more
accurately represents what it actually does.

Also, I added a string based ABI for users wanting to use a string
interface.  So if the user writes 0xDDDDDDDD formatted hex it will be
accepted by the interface.  (someone asked me for it and I don't think
it hurts anything.)

This patch updates some documentation input I got from Randy.

Jaroslav Kysela e763692578 ALSA: pcm_lib - return back hw_ptr_interrupt
Clemens Ladisch noted for hw_ptr_removal in "cleanup & merge hw_ptr
update functions" commit:

"It is possible for the status/delay ioctls to be called when the sound
card's pointer register alreay shows a position at the beginning of the
new period, but immediately before the interrupt is actually executed.
(This happens regularly on a SMP machine with mplayer.)  When that
happens, the code thinks that the position must be at least one period
ahead of the current position and drops an entire buffer of data."

Return back the hw_ptr_interrupt variable. The last interrupt pointer
is always computed from the latest hw_ptr instead of tracking it
separately (in this case all hw_ptr checks and modifications might
influence also hw_ptr_interrupt and it is difficult to keep it
consistent).

Do general cleanup in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr*() routines and merge them.
The main change is hw_ptr_interrupt variable removal to simplify code
logic. This variable can be computed directly from hw_ptr.

Ensure that updated hw_ptr is not lower than previous one (it was possible
with old code in some obscure situations when interrupt was delayed or
the lowlevel driver returns wrong ring buffer position value).
