Recently we updated the content in alsa-lib uapi header files by just
copying from the latest Linus kernel uapi/*.h, and noticed that it
broke the build of some alsa-tools programs. The reason is that we
used to have a modified version in the past, so that the program can
be built without referring to the unexported stuff like
snd_ctl_elem_id or __user prefix.
This patch attempts to restore that, i.e. dropping the stuff that
can't be referred in the user-space. For adapting the changes in
uapi/emu10k1.h, the emu10k1 driver code is also slightly modified.

The emu10k1 fx8010 code allocates each irq resource dynamically and
links to the list at PCM trigger callback. Due to the nature of
trigger callback, the allocation is done with GFP_ATOMIC, hence it
may fail more often. Moreover, the irq resource isn't big at all, and
using the kmalloc for this won't save many bytes, either.
This patch removes the dynamic allocation and embeds the irq resource
into struct snd_emu10k1_fx8010_pcm.irq field instead of keeping a
pointer. As a result, it simplifies the code and removes the
unnecessary GFP_ATOMIC usage.

The Audigy 2 CA0102 chip (but most likely others from the emu10k1 family,
too) has a problem that from time to time it likes to do few DMA reads a
bit beyond its normal allocation and gets very confused if these reads get
blocked by a IOMMU.
For the first (reserved) page this happens multiple times at every
playback, for various synth pages it happens randomly, rarely for PCM
playback buffers and the page table memory itself.
All these reads seem to follow a similar pattern, observed read offsets
beyond the allocation end were 0x00, 0x40, 0x80 and 0xc0 (PCI cache line
multiples), so it looks like the device tries to accesses up to 256 extra
bytes.
As a workaround let's widen these DMA allocations by an extra page if we
detect that the device is behind a non-passthrough IOMMU (the DMA memory
should be relatively plenty on IOMMU systems).

Commit a5003fc041 ("[ALSA] emu10k1 - simplify page allocation for synth")
switched from using the DMA allocator for synth DMA pages to manually
calling alloc_page().
However, this usage has an implicit assumption that the DMA address space
for the emu10k1-family chip is the same as the CPU physical address space
which is not true for a system with a IOMMU.
Since this made the synth part of the driver non-functional on such systems
let's effectively revert that commit (while keeping the
__synth_free_pages() simplification).

The emu10k1-family chips need the first page (index 0) reserved in their
page tables for some reason (every emu10k1 driver I've checked does this
without much of an explanation).
Using the first page for normal samples results in a broken playback.
However, we already have a dummy page allocated - so called "silent page"
and, in fact, had always been setting it as the first page in the chip page
table because an initialization of every entry of the page table to point
to a silent page happens after and overwrites the reserved_page allocation.
So the only thing remaining to remove the reserved_page allocation is a
trivial change to the page allocation logic to ignore the first page entry
and start its allocations from the second entry (index 1).

Within the subsystem the overwhelming bulk of the changes is in the

There's also some large changs in the core as Morimoto-san continues to

- The AC97 bus has finally caught up with the driver model thanks to

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.
