Sound Open Firmware (SOF) is a host and DSP architecture agnostic audio DSP firmware. SOF is not tied to any specific host architecture or any specific physical IO communication type (it will work with on SoC DSPs, or DSP connected via SPI/I2C). SOF is also not coupled to any particular DSP architecture and has abstraction similar to Linux to allow porting to other DSP architectures. https://www.sofproject.org/ This patch series introduces the SOF core and utilities. Support for Intel devices is provided as a follow-up series. The SOF core manages all the core DSP services and ALSA/ASoC IO. The core is responsible for loading firmware, parsing topology, exposing PCMs and kcontrols, providing debug and trace mechanisms and performing IPC between host and DSP. The SOF core also has logic to allow reuse of existing machine drivers for other platforms/machines without any code modification. i.e. DAI links can be modified at runtime to bind with SOF and SOF topologies instead of existing hard coded DAI links and topology. Changes since v5: In addition to addressing feedback from Takashi, the major change in this series is the IPC rework. We reverted some optimizations to help Daniel Baluta @ NXP submit support for i.MX platforms, additional IPC core refactorization will start once we have two platforms supported on github. Hopefully by then the code will be accepted in the ASoC tree and we can submit delta patches, hint hint wink wink. All feedback from Takashi addressed: Tabify/align Kconfigs Remove INFO_RESUME flag Add const char* for core prototypes Fix snd_sof_get_status return value Use smd_pcm_format_physical_width() Fix hw_constraints and BUFFER_BYTES/SIZE confusion Remove useless fallthrough statements Fix typos and duplicate words in comments and commit messages Remove unnecessary casts, use container_of Remove superfluous initializations Fix potential race condition in debugfs Check for wrap-arounds in loader Fix alignment in debugfs read Don't use devm_kasprintf for firmware name string. Other updates: Major refactor of IPC handling (support for large messages, code optimization, better abstraction to push Intel-specific code out of the core). Regenerate compressed page table only if needed Support for multiple DAI hw_config (from <dragos_tarcatu@xxxxxxxxxx>) Use iopoll macros (with small change due to indirection) Fix PM refcount handling on errors Rename/unify all definitions for effects (now 'process') Added basic support for keyword/hotword detection and binding widgets with external events Fix release of topology resources Support new IPC_PANIC message Clean-up mandatory/optional callbacks, simplify wrappers Add topology ABI check Fix acpi/machine driver handling Fix memory leak in debugfs error handling Alignment with firmware header files Fixed topology endianness issues Changes since v4: feedback from Mark: Removed need for private field in soc_runtime Completely reworked IPC, now much simpler and robust. IPC refactoring work will continue to e.g. allow for different types of IPC hardware and a better split between core and platform-specific drivers. Feedback from Takashi: Clarified endianness and alignment issues for page tables Removed useless mutexes Removed unneeded initializations, return types and wrappers Use snd_mask_set_format() Trace code flow optimization Removed checks on preallocate_pages() Test status of open/close functions. Released reference when pm_runtime_get_sync fails Fixed multiple memory allocation issues Fixed static analysis warnings Fixed error checks with copy_to_user() Added support for multi-core DSPs Fixed leaked references with firmware handling on resume Multiple topology fixes/improvements (enum/switch, mux, removal of duplicate connections, widget power not reported as ON) Code simplifications (removed set-but-unused, typecasts, etc). Changes since v3: Addressed dozens ofcomments from Takashi Iwai, Mark Brown, Andy Shevchenko, Daniel Baluta (Thanks!) Hardened memory allocation, fixed module load/unload oops or errors (now at hundreds of cycles on ApolloLake devices) Fixed suspend/resume and removed use of suspend_late, now using snd_soc_pm_ops and standard flow Fixed topology free (multiple patches already contributed for ASoC-core) Fixed debugfs/pm_runtime interaction Removed error checks on debugfs, changed to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL Added filenames in debug messages, ues hex_dump_to_buffer Removed "sof-audio" platform device and added better error checks on probe Reworked data structures to remove mix of const/variable fields and duplication of pointers for platform-specific changes Removed redundant ops tables Fixed trace/logger issues Fixed issues with loader (alignment and block size errors) Fixed release_firmware handling (was all over the place) Simplified PCI handling Added comments on non-atomic triggers Removed enum controls (not supported in topology) Simplified include file dependencies Fix cppcheck warnings Fixed Kconfigs to deal with Kbuild warnings on exotic architectures Precisions: The code in this patchset is directly squashed from the SOF development branch [1], which tracks Mark Brown's for-next branch on a weekly basis and the configurations used for testing are based on the defconfigs at [2]. The patches are also used backported for Chromebook devices. Full disclosure on known limitation and issues (full list at [3]) a) the interaction with ASoC is not always perfect, there are a couple of points where a better solution is desired (use of private data, support for link DMA, etc). The known points are explicitly documented in the code and will be updated. To be clearer, it's our belief that SOF does not cripple ASoC in any way, and that merging this SOF core does not harm others. It's just complicated to get things right, especially on a couple of cases where the topology and DPCM frameworks generate complex flows that very few people understand. b) The get/put methods for controls generate an IPC and possibly a wake-up. This is not optimal and is being fixed. c) runtime_pm is being hardened and the use of SMART_SUSPEND was suggested. Thank you for reviews and comments, we appreciate the time spent commenting on this large patchset. Thanks in particular to Alan Cox and Andy Shevchenko for their comments on an earlier version. This patchset also includes contributions from Daniel Baluta for loading code on non-Intel platforms.
