	Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a /uapi/ one with no licensing information in it, - file was a /uapi/ one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non /uapi/ files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------\|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a /uapi/ path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------\|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the /uapi/ ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------\|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-06-12	ALSA: pcm: use %s instead of %c for format of PCM buffer tracepoints	Takashi Sakamoto
	As long as I know, in userspace, '%c' format on printing format for tracepoint is replaced with '>c<' by existent tracing program; i.g. 'perf-trace' and 'trace-cmd'. This is inconvenient. This commit replaces the format with '%s'. The length of letters in the format string is not changed, thus this commit doesn't increase object size. In theory, I should work for improvements of these tracing programs, but here I'd like to save my time to work for the other projects.

2017-06-12	ALSA: pcm: add 'applptr' event of tracepoint	Takashi Sakamoto
	In design of ALSA PCM core, status and control data for runtime of ALSA PCM substream are shared between kernel/user spaces by page frame mapping with read-only attribute. Both of hardware-side and application-side position on PCM buffer are maintained as a part of the status data. In a view of ALSA PCM application, these two positions can be updated by executing ioctl(2) with some commands. There's an event of tracepoint for hardware-side position; 'hwptr'. On the other hand, no events for application-side position. This commit adds a new event for this purpose; 'applptr'. When the application-side position is changed in kernel space, this event is probed with useful information for developers. I note that the event is not probed for all of ALSA PCM applications, When applications are written by read/write programming scenario, the event is surely probed. The applications execute ioctl(2) with SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_[READ\|WRITE][N/I]_FRAMES to read/write any PCM frame, then ALSA PCM core updates the application-side position in kernel land. However, when applications are written by mmap programming scenario, if maintaining the application side position in kernel space accurately, applications should voluntarily execute ioctl(2) with SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR to commit the number of handled PCM frames. If not voluntarily, the application-side position is not changed, thus the added event is not probed. There's a loophole, using architectures to which ALSA PCM core judges non cache coherent. In this case, the status and control data is not mapped into processe's VMA for any applications. Userland library, alsa-lib, is programmed for this case. It executes ioctl(2) with SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR command every time to requiring the status and control data. ARM is such an architecture. Below is an example with serial sound interface (ssi) on i.mx6 quad core SoC. I use v4.1 kernel released by fsl-community with patches from VIA Tech. Inc. for VAB820, and my backport patches for relevant features for this patchset. I use Ubuntu 17.04 from ports.ubuntu.com as user land for armhf architecture. $ aplay -v -M -D hw:imx6vab820sgtl5,0 /dev/urandom -f S16_LE -r 48000 --period-size=128 --buffer-size=256 Playing raw data '/dev/urandom' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono Hardware PCM card 0 'imx6-vab820-sgtl5000' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : MMAP_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 1 rate : 48000 exact rate : 48000 (48000/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 256 period_size : 128 period_time : 2666 tstamp_mode : NONE tstamp_type : MONOTONIC period_step : 1 avail_min : 128 period_event : 0 start_threshold : 256 stop_threshold : 256 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 1073741824 appl_ptr : 0 hw_ptr : 0 mmap_area[0] = 0x76f98000,0,16 (16) $ trace-cmd record -e snd_pcm:hwptr -e snd_pcm:applptr $ trace-cmd report ... 60.208495: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1792, curr=1792, avail=0, period=128, buf=256 60.208633: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1792, curr=1792, avail=0, period=128, buf=256 60.210022: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: IRQ: pos=128, old=1536, base=1536, period=128, buf=256 60.210202: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1792, curr=1792, avail=128, period=128, buf=256 60.210344: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: POS: pos=128, old=1664, base=1536, period=128, buf=256 60.210348: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1792, curr=1792, avail=128, period=128, buf=256 60.210486: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1792, curr=1792, avail=128, period=128, buf=256 60.210626: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1792, curr=1920, avail=0, period=128, buf=256 60.211002: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1920, curr=1920, avail=0, period=128, buf=256 60.211142: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: POS: pos=128, old=1664, base=1536, period=128, buf=256 60.211146: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1920, curr=1920, avail=0, period=128, buf=256 60.211287: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1920, curr=1920, avail=0, period=128, buf=256 60.212690: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: IRQ: pos=0, old=1664, base=1536, period=128, buf=256 60.212866: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1920, curr=1920, avail=128, period=128, buf=256 60.212999: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: POS: pos=0, old=1792, base=1792, period=128, buf=256 60.213003: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1920, curr=1920, avail=128, period=128, buf=256 60.213135: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1920, curr=1920, avail=128, period=128, buf=256 60.213276: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=1920, curr=2048, avail=0, period=128, buf=256 60.213654: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=2048, curr=2048, avail=0, period=128, buf=256 60.213796: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: POS: pos=0, old=1792, base=1792, period=128, buf=256 60.213800: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=2048, curr=2048, avail=0, period=128, buf=256 60.213937: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=2048, curr=2048, avail=0, period=128, buf=256 60.215356: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: IRQ: pos=128, old=1792, base=1792, period=128, buf=256 60.215542: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=2048, curr=2048, avail=128, period=128, buf=256 60.215679: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: POS: pos=128, old=1920, base=1792, period=128, buf=256 60.215683: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=2048, curr=2048, avail=128, period=128, buf=256 60.215813: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=2048, curr=2048, avail=128, period=128, buf=256 60.215947: applptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: prev=2048, curr=2176, avail=0, period=128, buf=256 ...

This equals to the size of period of PCM buffer. Comparing to the probed data, one of the 7 calls of ioctl(2) is actually used to commit the number of copied PCM frames to kernel space. The other calls are just used to check runtime status of PCM substream; e.g. XRUN. The tracepoint event is useful to investigate this case. I note that below modules are related to the above sample. * snd-soc-dummy.ko * snd-soc-imx-sgtl5000.ko * snd-soc-fsl-ssi.ko * snd-soc-imx-pcm-dma.ko * snd-soc-sgtl5000.ko My additional note is lock acquisition. The event is probed under acquiring PCM stream lock. This means that calculation in the event is free from any hardware events.

2014-11-04	ALSA: pcm: Replace PCM hwptr tracking with tracepoints	Takashi Iwai
	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.
