the original ad-audiomp branch notes:
Add MP locking to the audio drivers.
Making the audio drivers MP safe is necessary before efforts
can be made to make the VM system MP safe.
The are two locks per device instance, an ISR lock and
a character device lock. The ISR lock replaces calls to
splaudio()/splx(), and will be held across calls to device
methods which were called at splaudio() before (e.g.
trigger_output). The character device lock is held across
calls to nearly all of the methods, excluding some only
used for initialization, e.g. get_locks.
Welcome to 5.99.57.
audio framework
Summary of changes:
* struct audio_params
- remove sw_code, factor, factor_denom, hw_sample_rate,
hw_encoding ,hw_precision, and hw_channels. Conversion information
is conveyed by stream_filter_list_t.
- change the type of sample_rate: u_long -> u_int
- add `validbits,' which represents the valid data size in
precision bits. It is required in order to distinguish 24/32bit
from 24/24bit or 32/32bit.
* audio_hw_if
- add two parameters to set_params()
stream_filter_list_t *pfil, stream_filter_list *rfil
A HW driver should set filter recipes for requested formats
- constify audio_params parameters of trigger_output() and
trigger_input(). They represent audio formats for the hardware.
- make open() and close() optional
- add int (AUMODE_PLAY or AUMODE_RECORD) and audio_params_t parameters
to round_blocksize()
* sw_code is replaced with stream_filter_t.
stream_filer_t converts audio data in an input buffer and writes
into another output buffer unlike sw_code, which converts data in
single buffer.
converters in dev/auconv.c, dev/mulaw.c, dev/aurateconv.c,
dev/tc/bba.c, dev/ic/msm6258.c, and arch/arm/iomd/vidcaudio.c are
reimplemented as stream_filter_t
* MI audio
- audiosetinfo() builds filter pipelines from stream_filter_list_t
filled by audio_hw_if::set_params()
- audiosetinfo() returns with EINVAL if mmapped and set_params()
requests filters
- audio_write(), audio_pint(), and audio_rint() invoke a filter
pipeline.
- ioctl() for FIONREAD, AUDIO_WSEEK, AUDIO_GETIOFFS,
AUDIO_GETOOFFS, and audio_prinfo::{seek,samples} for
AUDIO_GETINFO handle values for a buffer nearest to userland.
* add `struct device *' parameter to ac97_attach()
* all of audio HW drivers follow audio_hw_if and ac97 changes

auconv.c: Add conversion functions
audio.c: Sample alignment, calling conversion functions, etc.
audio_if.h: Add four hw_* members to "struct audio_params"
audiovar.h: Add conversion buffers, etc.
auich and uaudio: Add conversion request code to *_set_params().
- Change the way attach and open works to allow multiple audio
devices.
- Split the mulaw.c file into two to avoid dragging in mulaw
convertsion when they are not needed. Add 16 bit alaw/mulaw tables.
- Change the way audio properties are gotten.
- Recognize more versions os SoundBlaster.
