2013-01-25ALSA: Make snd_printd() and snd_printdd() inlineTakashi Iwai
Because currently snd_printd() and snd_printdd() macros are expanded to empty when CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=n, a compile warning like below appears sometimes, and we had to covert it by ugly ifdefs: sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c: In function ‘stac92hd71bxx_fixup_hp’: sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:2434:24: warning: unused variable ‘spec’ [-Wunused-variable] For "fixing" these issues better, this patch replaces snd_printd() and snd_printdd() definitions with empty inline functions instead of macros. This should have the same effect but shut up warnings like above. But since we had already put ifdefs, changing to inline functions would trigger compile errors. So, such ifdefs is removed in this patch. In addition, snd_pci_quirk name field is defined only when CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE is set, and the reference to it in snd_printdd() argument triggers the build errors, too. For avoiding these errors, introduce a new macro snd_pci_quirk_name() that is defined no matter how the debug option is set.

2012-10-30ALSA: Add a reference counter to card instanceTakashi Iwai
For more strict protection for wild disconnections, a refcount is introduced to the card instance, and let it up/down when an object is referred via snd_lookup_*() in the open ops. The free-after-last-close check is also changed to check this refcount instead of the empty list, too.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux Pull <linux/device.h> avoidance patches from Paul Gortmaker: "Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like: void foo(struct device *dev); and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the sub fields within the device struct. This allows us to significantly reduce the scope of headers including headers. For this instance, a reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct. Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two commits. One to fix the implicit <linux/device.h> users, and then one to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir wherever possible." * tag 'device-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir device.h: cleanup users outside of linux/include (C files)
2012-03-16device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dirPaul Gortmaker
The <linux/device.h> header includes a lot of stuff, and it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device" which appears so often. Clean up the users as follows: 1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that. 2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply delete the include altogether. 3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h 4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding the required header(s). Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be present have already been dealt with in advance. Total removals from #1 and #2: 51. Total additions coming from #3: 9. Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7. As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/* Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

2011-10-31include: replace linux/module.h with "struct module" wherever possiblePaul Gortmaker
The <linux/module.h> pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in terms of being included from other commonly used <linux/something.h> files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times. The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere. This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time. There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead and simply make it a few more. Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

Add debug module option to snd core. This controls the debug print level.

As default, it's set to the verbose level 2. Since this option can be changed dynamically via sysfs file, you can suppress the verbose debug messages on the fly, which wasn't possible before.

2008-07-29ALSA: Add jack reporting APIMark Brown
Currently very few systems provide information about jack status to user space, even though many have hardware facilities to do detection. Those systems that do use an input device with the existing SW_HEADPHONE_INSERT switch type to do so, often independently of ALSA. This patch introduces a standard method for representing jacks to user space into ALSA. It allows drivers to register jacks for a sound card with the input subsystem, binding the input device to the card to help user space associate the input devices with their sound cards. The created input devices are named in the form "card longname jack" where jack is provided by the driver when allocating a jack. By default the parent for the input device is the sound card but this can be overridden by the card driver. The existing user space API with SW_HEADPHONE_INSERT is preserved.

2007-01-29[PATCH] ALSA: Fix sysfs breakageTakashi Iwai
The recent change for a new sysfs tree with card* object breaks the /sys/class/sound tree if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled. The device in each entry doesn't point the correct device object: /sys/class/sound ... |-- pcmC0D0c | |-- dev | |-- device -> ../../../class/sound/card0 | |-- pcm_class | |-- power | | `-- wakeup | |-- subsystem -> ../../../class/sound | `-- uevent Also, this change breaks some drivers (like sound/arm/*) referring card->dev directly to obtain the device object for memory handling. This patch reverts the semantics of card->dev to the former version, which points to a real device object. The card* object is stored in a new card->card_dev field, instead. The device parent is chosen either card->dev or card->card_dev according to CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED to keep the tree compatibility. Also, card* isn't created if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled. The reason of card* object is a root of all beloing devices, and it makes little sense if each sound device points to the real device object directly.

Converts from using struct "class_device" to "struct device" making everything show up properly in /sys/devices/ with symlinks from the /sys/class directory. It also makes the struct sound_card to show up as a "real" device where all the different sound class devices are placed as childs and different card attribute files can hang off of. /sys/class/sound is still a flat directory, but the symlink targets of all devices belonging to the same card, point the the /sys/devices tree below the new card device object.
