AC97 Soft Audio and Soft Modem Master Abort Errata
Issue:
Use of either soft audio or soft modem on an Intel® 82443MX PCISet
based platform running a 100 MHz Processor System Bus and an AC97 codec
may result in failures. The system continues to function normally while
the AC97 hardware may not resume and may require a cold-boot to
recover. As a result of the failure, the Master Abort Status bit will
be set in the audio or modem function PCI header space.
Workaround:
Force uncacheable DMA on both BDL and pcm buffers.
Tested by: Emil Holmstr|m <emil@linux.se>
- Remove explicit call to pmap_change_attr(), since we now have proper
and functional definition of BUS_DMA_NOCACHE.
- Enable PCI(e) bus snooping for non i386/amd64 as an alternative for
uncacheable DMA.
- Codecs changes:
* Analag Device -> Analog Devices, AD1988.
* New codec: VIA VT1708 and VT1709, Realtek ALC262, ALC861-VD and
ALC885.
* Various fixups for Conexant Waikiki, fix recording (read: microphone)
on various Analog Devices codecs due to vendor BIOS mess, various
quirks for several ASUS laptops/boards.
- Fix connection list handling, closely following the specification to
handle range of nids.
- Basic Jack sense polling infrastructure for possible hardwares with
broken unsolicited response interrupt.

- SWAPLR quirk for (unknown, luckily it is mine) broken uaudio stick.
Fixing by rewiring is impossible without damaging it. Luckily,
we can fix it using "other" methods :) .
- Add uaudio_get_vendor(), _product() and _release() in uaudio.c
(currently used by uaudio_pcm quirk).
- Implement CHANNEL_SETFRAGMENTS().
- Drop channel locking in few places where it is about to sleep
somewhere. This should help eliminating illegal locking acquisition
where the current thread is about to sleep, and also few deadlock
cases. Dropping it right here is quite safe since it is already
protected by CHN_F_BUSY flag and other threads won't bother to touch it.
Solving other illegal locking issues are quite tricky without converting
most usbd_do_request() calls to its equivalent _async() calls,
which I intend to do it later after getting full test report from
other people with different uaudio hardwares.
- Fix memory leak issues during detach. This seems common to any drivers
(notably emu10kx, csapcm?) with bridge functions.
Implement CHANNEL_SETFRAGMENTS() for snd_atiixp, snd_es137x, snd_hda
and snd_via8233. CHANNEL_SETBLOCKSIZE() will basically call
CHANNEL_SETFRAGMENTS() internally using conservative blocksize /
blockcount hints. Other drivers will be converted later.
- Disable stray buffer management, since sample size aligned buffering
are pretty much guaranteed through out the entire feeder_* chain
processes.
- Few style(9) cleanups.
channel.c/channel_if.m:
- Macros cleanups, prefer inlined min() over MIN().
- Rework chn_read()/chn_write() for better dead interrupt detection
policy. Reduce scheduling overhead by doing pure 5 seconds sleep
before giving up, instead of several cycle of brute micro sleeping.
- Avoid calling wakeup_one() for non-sleeping channel (for example,
vchan parent channel).
- EWOULDBLOCK -> EAGAIN.
- Fix possible divide-by-zero panic on chn_sync().
- Re-enforce ^2 blocksize policy, since there are too many broken
userland apps that blindly assume it without even trying to do
serious calculations.
- New channel method - CHANNEL_SETFRAGMENTS(), a refined version of
CHANNEL_SETBLOCKSIZE(). It accept _both_ blocksize and blockcount
arguments, so the driver internals will have better hints for
buffering and timing calculations.
- Hook FEEDER_SWAPLR into feederchain building process.
feeder_fmt.c:
- Unified version of various filters, avoiding duplications.
- malloc()less feeder_fmt. Informations can be retrieved dynamically
by doing table lookup on static data. For cases such as converting
from stereo to mono or reducing bit depth where input data is larger
than output, cycle remaining available free space until it has been
exhausted and start kicking 8 bytes reservoir space from there to
complete the remaining requested count.
- Introduce FEEDER_SWAPLR. Few super broken hardwares (found on several
extremely cheap uaudio stick, possibly others) mistakenly wired left
and right channels wrongly, screwing output or input.
- Rearrange FEEDER_* constants starting from 0 to 31, so the future
additions will be much easier and consistent.
- Introduce FEEDER_SWAPLR. Few super broken hardwares (found on several
extremely cheap uaudio stick, possibly others) mistakenly wired left
and right channels wrongly, screwing output or input.
malloc()less feeder_vchan. Informations can be retrieved dynamically
by doing table lookup on static data. Reduce mixing overhead by
doing direct copy on first channel. Mixing process will begin starting
from second channel onwards.
malloc()less feeder_volume. Informations can be retrieved dynamically
by doing table lookup on static data. Increase resolution from 6bit
to PCM_FXSHIFT (8bit) for better resolution and finer volume changes.
- Convert sx lock to plain mutex. Since the access of /dev/sndstat
is pretty much exclusive and protected by toggling sndstat_isopen,
plain mutex is more than enough.
- Enable SBUF_AUTOEXTEND to avoid buffer truncation.

confusions and panic provided that the following conditions are met:
1) WITNESS is enabled (watch/trace).
2) Using modules, instead of statically linked (Not a strict
requirement, but easier to reproduce this way).
3) 2 or more modules share the same mtx type ("sound softc").
- They might share the same name (strcmp() == 0), but it always
point to different address.
4) Repetitive kldunload/load on any module that shares the same mtx
type (Not a strict requirement, but easier to reproduce this way).
Consider module A and module B:
- From enroll() - subr_witness.c:
* Load module A. Everything seems fine right now.
wA-w_refcount == 1 ; wA-w_name = "sound softc"
* Load module B.
* w->w_name == description will always fail.
("sound softc" from A and B point to different address).
* wA->w_refcount > 0 && strcmp(description, wA->w_name) == 0
* enroll() will return wA instead of returning (possibly unique)
wB.
wA->w_refcount++ , == 2.
* Unload module A, mtx_destroy(), wA->w_name become invalid,
but wA->w_refcount-- become 1 instead of 0. wA will not be
removed from witness list.
* Some other places call mtx_init(), iterating witness list,
found wA, failed on wA->w_name == description
* wA->w_refcount > 0 && strcmp(description, wA->w_name)
* Panic on strcmp() since wA->w_name no longer point to valid
address.
Note that this could happened in other places as well, not just sound
(eg. consider lots of drivers that share simmilar MTX_NETWORK_LOCK).
Solutions (for sound case):
1) Provide unique mtx type string for each mutex creation (chosen)
or
2) Put "sound softc" global variable somewhere and use it.
