This patch enhances the audio driver with the option to operate as a
client of the record and play services instead of providing the audio-in
and audio-out services. The record/play mode can be enabled by setting
the 'record_play="yes"' config attribute.
The audio_in.run and audio_out.run scripts support the selection of the
mode via the 'use_record_play_sessions' hook function.
Issue #5097
The classes Genode::Mmio, Genode::Register_set, Genode::Attached_mmio, and
Platform::Device::Mmio now receive a template parameter 'size_t SIZE'. In each
type that derives from one of these classes, it is now statically checked that
the range of each Genode::Register::Register- and
Genode::Register_set::Register_array-deriving sub-type is within [0..SIZE).
That said, SIZE is the minimum size of the memory region provided to the above
mentioned Mmio classes in order to avoid page faults or memory corruption when
accessing the registers and register arrays declared inside.
Note, that the range end of a register array is not the end of the last item
but the end of integer access that is used for accessing the last bit in the
last item.
The constructors of Genode::Mmio, Genode::Attached_mmio, and
Platform::Device::Mmio now receive an argument 'Byte_range_ptr range' that is
expected to be the range of the backing memory region. In each type that derives
from on of these classes, it is now dynamically checked that 'range.num_bytes
>= SIZE', thereby implementing the above mention protection against page faults
and memory corruption.
The rest of the commit adapts the code throughout the Genode Labs repositories
regarding the changes. Note that for that code inside Core, the commits mostly
uses a simplified approach by constructing MMIO objects with range
[base..base+SIZE) and not with a mapping- or specification-related range size.
This should be fixed in the future.
Furthermore, there are types that derive from an MMIO class but don't declare
any registers or register arrays (especially with Platform::Device::Mmio). In
this case SIZE is set to 0. This way, the parameters must be actively corrected
by someone who later wants to add registers or register arrays, plus the places
can be easily found by grep'ing for Mmio<0>.
Fix#4081
On x86, DMA buffers are actually always mapped as cached. We should
therefore actually ask for a cached buffer in order to avoid confusion.
genodelabs/genode#5000
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'.
