Added the logging functionality to xrun_debug to record the hwptr
updates via snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr() and snd_pcm_update_hwptr_interrupt(),
corresponding to 16 and 8, respectively.
For example,
# echo 9 > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/xrun_debug
will record the position and other parameters at each period interrupt
together with the normal XRUN debugging.

VMware tends to report PCM positions and period updates at utterly
wrong timing. This screws up the recent PCM core code that tries
to correct the position based on the irq timing.
Now, when a backward irq position is detected, skip the update
instead of rebasing. (This is almost the old behavior before
2.6.30.)

Since this field is only checked in snd_pcmupdate__hw_ptr_interrupt(),
not in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr(), it must be updated before the hw_ptr

The PCM hw_ptr jiffies check results sometimes in problems when a
hardware doesn't give smooth hw_ptr updates. So far, au88x0 and some
other drivers appear not working due to this strict check.
However, this check is a nice debug tool, and the capability should be
still kept.
Hence, we disable this check now as default unless the user enables it
by setting the xrun_debug mode to the specific stream via a proc file.

The hw_ptr_jiffies has to be reset properly to avoid the invalid

The hardware devices with SNDRV_PCM_INFO_BATCH flag can't give the
precise current position. And such hardwares have often big FIFO
in addition to the ring buffer, and it screws up the jiffies check
in pcm_lib.c.
This patch adds a simple check of info flag so that the driver skips
the jiffies check in snd_pcm_period_elapsed() when BATCH flag is set.

Some drivers like Intel8x0 or Intel HDA are broken for some hardware variants.
This patch adds more strict buffer position checks based on jiffies when
internal hw_ptr is updated. Enable xrun_debug to see mangling of wrong
positions.
As a side effect, the hw_ptr interrupt update routine might do slightly better
job when many interrupts are lost.

When the hw_ptr_interrupt reaches the boundary, it must check whether
the hw_base was already lapped and corret the delta value appropriately.
Also, rebasing the hw_ptr needs a correction because buffer_size isn't

Clean up and improve snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr*() functions.
snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr() tries to detect the unexpected hwptr jumps
more strictly to avoid the position mess-up, which often results in

The hw-ptr skip error messages are printed when xrun proc is set to
non-zero.

Change semantics for SNDRV_PCM_TSTAMP_MMAP. Doing timestamping only in
the interrupt handler might cause that hw_ptr is not related to actual
timestamp. With this change, grab timestamp at every hw_ptr update to
have always valid timestamp + ring buffer position pair.
With this change, SNDRV_PCM_TSTAMP_MMAP was renamed to
SNDRV_PCM_TSTAMP_ENABLE. It's no regression (I think).

The 'tick' in PCM is set (again) via sw_params. And, nobody uses
this feature at all except for a command line option of aplay.
(This is literally 'nobody', as I checked alsa-lib API calls in all

basically an issue that the driver should solve, not tuned by each

The xfer_align sw_params parameter has never been used in a sane manner,
and no one understands what this does exactly. The current
implementation looks also buggy because it allows write of shorter size
than xfer_align. So, if you do partial writes, the write isn't actually
aligned at all.

(and less buggy).
