Decreasing the internal buffer size will implicitly limit the number
of blocks provisioned for recording and brings them in line with
the number of blocks used for playback (2).
Note that this patch also sets an upper-bound on the number of
samples in 'Audio_*::PERIOD'.
The initial memory backend implementation was brought over from DDE
Linux and was geared towards use-cases where a high-performing
allocator is useful. In case of the audio driver this is overkill
and since no other driver that could benefit from such an
implementation was ported in the meantime rather use a simpler
implementation that keeps the overhead down.
Fixes#4946.
This commit updates the driver from version 6.6 to 7.1. In contrast
to the old driver the new one will now probe all available HDA devices
and will drive the first usable one, e.g.:
```
[init -> audio_drv] azalia0 [8086:160c]
[init -> audio_drv] :
[init -> audio_drv] azalia0: no supported codecs
[init -> audio_drv] azalia1 [8086:9ca0]
[init -> audio_drv] :
[init -> audio_drv] azalia1: codecs: Realtek ALC292
[init -> audio_drv] audio0 at azalia1
```
Fixes#4629.
Do not advance ring buffer positions when playing silence, additionally
to not send progress signals when playing silence. Silence implies
underrun in the client side - not progress.
issue #4609
As accommodating the session component object is already taken care of
be the root component implementation, remove the remaining redundant
checks.
Fixes#4521.
This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.
Issue #4324
The implementation conflicted with the implicit declaration of bzero:
.../repos/dde_bsd/src/lib/audio/mem.cc: In function ‘void bzero(void*, size_t)’:
.../repos/dde_bsd/src/lib/audio/mem.cc:377:2: warning: ‘nonnull’ argument ‘b’ compared to NULL [-Wnonnull-compare]
This patch extends the 'Platform_session::alloc_dma_buffer' interface
with a 'Cache' argument that corresponds to the argument accepted by
'Ram_allocator::alloc', which is used by the platform driver under the
hood.
Since the x86 platform driver used to be hardwired to allocate DMA
buffers as UNCACHED, I adjusted all drivers by specifying the UNCACHED
argument. Right now, this is needed as a hint for core to steer the
allocation of I/O page tables. Once we eliminate the need for such hints
(by introducing an explicit 'Region_map::attach_dma' operation), we can
revisit the drivers individually because cached DMA buffers should
generally be fine on the x86 architecture.
