Sound Mega-commit. Expect further cleanup until code freeze.

For a slightly thorough explaination, please refer to
[1] http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/SOUND_4.TXT.html .

Summary of changes includes:

1 Volume Per-Channel (vpc). Provides private / standalone volume control
unique per-stream pcm channel without touching master volume / pcm.
Applications can directly use SNDCTL_DSP_[GET|SET][PLAY|REC]VOL, or for
backwards compatibility, SOUND_MIXER_PCM through the opened dsp device
instead of /dev/mixer. Special "bypass" mode is enabled through
/dev/mixer which will automatically detect if the adjustment is made
through /dev/mixer and forward its request to this private volume
controller. Changes to this volume object will not interfere with
other channels.

Requirements:
- SNDCTL_DSP_[GET|SET][PLAY|REC]_VOL are newer ioctls (OSSv4) which
require specific application modifications (preferred).
- No modifications required for using bypass mode, so applications
like mplayer or xmms should work out of the box.

Kernel hints:
- hint.pcm.%d.vpc (0 = disable vpc).

Kernel sysctls:
- hw.snd.vpc_mixer_bypass (default: 1). Enable or disable /dev/mixer
bypass mode.
- hw.snd.vpc_autoreset (default: 1). By default, closing/opening
/dev/dsp will reset the volume back to 0 db gain/attenuation.
Setting this to 0 will preserve its settings across device
closing/opening.
- hw.snd.vpc_reset (default: 0). Panic/reset button to reset all
volume settings back to 0 db.
- hw.snd.vpc_0db (default: 45). 0 db relative to linear mixer value.

2 High quality fixed-point Bandlimited SINC sampling rate converter,
based on Julius O'Smith's Digital Audio Resampling -
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/resample/. It includes a filter design
script written in awk (the clumsiest joke I've ever written)
- 100% 32bit fixed-point, 64bit accumulator.
- Possibly among the fastest (if not fastest) of its kind.
- Resampling quality is tunable, either runtime or during kernel
compilation (FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS).
- Quality can be further customized during kernel compilation by
defining FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS in /etc/make.conf.

Kernel sysctls:
- hw.snd.feeder_rate_quality.
0 - Zero-order Hold (ZOH). Fastest, bad quality.
1 - Linear Interpolation (LINEAR). Slightly slower than ZOH,
better quality but still does not eliminate aliasing.
2 - (and above) - Sinc Interpolation(SINC). Best quality. SINC
quality always start from 2 and above.

Rough quality comparisons:
- http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/z_comparison/

3 Bit-perfect mode. Bypasses all feeder/dsp effects. Pure sound will be
directly fed into the hardware.

4 Parametric (compile time) Software Equalizer (Bass/Treble mixer). Can
be customized by defining FEEDER_EQ_PRESETS in /etc/make.conf.

5 Transparent/Adaptive Virtual Channel. Now you don't have to disable
vchans in order to make digital format pass through. It also makes
vchans more dynamic by choosing a better format/rate among all the
concurrent streams, which means that dev.pcm.X.play.vchanformat/rate
becomes sort of optional.

6 Exclusive Stream, with special open() mode O_EXCL. This will "mute"
other concurrent vchan streams and only allow a single channel with
O_EXCL set to keep producing sound.

Other Changes:
* most feeder_* stuffs are compilable in userland. Let's not
speculate whether we should go all out for it (save that for
FreeBSD 16.0-RELEASE).
* kobj signature fixups, thanks to Andriy Gapon <avg@freebsd.org>
* pull out channel mixing logic out of vchan.c and create its own
feeder_mixer for world justice.
* various refactoring here and there, for good or bad.
* activation of few more OSSv4 ioctls() (see [1] above).
* opt_snd.h for possible compile time configuration:
(mostly for debugging purposes, don't try these at home)
SND_DEBUG
SND_DIAGNOSTIC
SND_FEEDER_MULTIFORMAT
SND_FEEDER_FULL_MULTIFORMAT
SND_FEEDER_RATE_HP
SND_PCM_64

Bring in USB4BSD, Hans Petter Selasky rework of the USB stack
that includes significant features and SMP safety.

This commit includes a more or less complete rewrite of the *BSD USB
stack, including Host Controller and Device Controller drivers and
updating all existing USB drivers to use the new USB API:

1) A brief feature list:

- A new and mutex enabled USB API.

- Many USB drivers are now running Giant free.

- Linux USB kernel compatibility layer.

- New UGEN backend and libusb library, finally solves the "driver
unloading" problem. The new BSD licensed libusb20 library is fully
compatible with libusb-0.1.12 from sourceforge.

- New "usbconfig" utility, for easy configuration of USB.

- Full support for Split transactions, which means you can use your
full speed USB audio device on a high speed USB HUB.

- Full support for HS ISOC transactions, which makes writing drivers
for various HS webcams possible, for example.

- Full support for USB on embedded platforms, mostly cache flushing
and buffer invalidating stuff.

- Safer parsing of USB descriptors.

- Autodetect of annoying USB install disks.

- Support for USB device side mode, also called USB gadget mode,
using the same API like the USB host side. In other words the new
USB stack is symmetric with regard to host and device side.

- Support for USB transfers like I/O vectors, means more throughput
and less interrupts.

- ... see the FreeBSD quarterly status reports under "USB project"

2) To enable the driver in the default kernel build:

2.a) Remove all existing USB device options from your kernel config
file.

2.b) Add the following USB device options to your kernel configuration
file:

# USB core support
device usb2_core

# USB controller support
device usb2_controller
device usb2_controller_ehci
device usb2_controller_ohci
device usb2_controller_uhci

# USB mass storage support
device usb2_storage
device usb2_storage_mass

# USB ethernet support, requires miibus
device usb2_ethernet
device usb2_ethernet_aue
device usb2_ethernet_axe
device usb2_ethernet_cdce
device usb2_ethernet_cue
device usb2_ethernet_kue
device usb2_ethernet_rue
device usb2_ethernet_dav

# USB wireless LAN support
device usb2_wlan
device usb2_wlan_rum
device usb2_wlan_ral
device usb2_wlan_zyd

# USB serial device support
device usb2_serial
device usb2_serial_ark
device usb2_serial_bsa
device usb2_serial_bser
device usb2_serial_chcom
device usb2_serial_cycom
device usb2_serial_foma
device usb2_serial_ftdi
device usb2_serial_gensa
device usb2_serial_ipaq
device usb2_serial_lpt
device usb2_serial_mct
device usb2_serial_modem
device usb2_serial_moscom
device usb2_serial_plcom
device usb2_serial_visor
device usb2_serial_vscom

# USB bluetooth support
device usb2_bluetooth
device usb2_bluetooth_ng

# USB input device support
device usb2_input
device usb2_input_hid
device usb2_input_kbd
device usb2_input_ms

# USB sound and MIDI device support
device usb2_sound

2) To enable the driver at runtime:

2.a) Unload all existing USB modules. If USB is compiled into the
kernel then you might have to build a new kernel.

2.b) Load the "usb2_xxx.ko" modules under /boot/kernel having the same
base name like the kernel device option.

Remove unit2minor() use from kernel code.

When I changed kern_conf.c three months ago I made device unit numbers
equal to (unneeded) device minor numbers. We used to require
bitshifting, because there were eight bits in the middle that were
reserved for a device major number. Not very long after I turned
dev2unit(), minor(), unit2minor() and minor2unit() into macro's.
The unit2minor() and minor2unit() macro's were no-ops.

We'd better not remove these four macro's from the kernel, because there
is a lot of (external) code that may still depend on them. For now it's
harmless to remove all invocations of unit2minor() and minor2unit().

Last (again ?!?) major commit for RELENG_7, featuring total Giant
eradication in/from userland path, countless locking fixes, etc.

- General sleep call through msleep(9) has been converted to condvar(9)
with better consistencies.
- Heavily guard every possible "slow path" entries (open(), close(),
few ioctl()s, sysctls), but once it entering "fast path" (io, interrupt
started), they are free to fly on their own.
- Rearrange locking sequences, resulting better concurrency and
serialization. Large part doesn't even need locking at all, and will be
removed in future. Less clutter, except in few places due to lock
ordering.
- Anonymous mixer object creation/deletion to simplify mixer handling
beyond typical mixer ioctls.
Submitted by: chibis (with modifications)
- Add few mix_[get|set|..] functions to avoid calling mixer_ioctl()
directly using cryptic arguments.
- Locking fixes to avoid possible deadlock with (still under Giant) USB.
- Better simplex/duplex device handling.
- Recover mmap() functionality for recording, which has been lost
since 2.2.x - 3.x (the introduction of newpcm). Full-duplex mmap still
doesn't work (due to VM/page design), but people still can mmap
both by opening each direction separately. mmaped playback is guarantee
to work either way.
- New sysctl: "hw.snd.compat_linux_mmap" to allow PROT_EXEC page
mapping, due to recent changes in linux compatibility layer which
require it. All linux applications that using sound + mmap() (mostly games)
require this to be enabled. Disabled by default.
- Other goodies.. too many, that will increase releng7 shareholder value
and make users of releng6 (and below) cry ;)

* This commit should be atomic. If anything goes wrong (not counting problem
originated from elsewhere), I will not hesitate to revert everything back
within 12 hours. This substantial changes itself not a rocket science
and the process has begun for almost 2 years, and lots of incremental
changes are already in place during that period of time.
* Some issues does occur in snd_emu10kx (note the 'x') due to various
internal locking issues and it is currently being worked on by chibis.

Last major commit and updates for RELENG_7:

- Rework the entire pcm_channel structure:
* Remove rarely used link placeholder, instead, make each pcm_channel
as head/link of each own/each other. Unlock - Lock sequence due to
sleep malloc has been reduced.
* Implement "busy" queue which will contain list of busy/active
channels. This greatly reduce locking contention for example while
servicing interrupt for hardware with many channels or when virtual
channels reach its 256 peak channels.

- So I heard you like v chan ... O RLY?
Welcome to Virtual **Record** Channels (vrec, rec vchans, vchans for
recording, Rec-Chan, you decide), the ultimate solutions for your
nagging O_RDWR full-duplex wannabe (note: flash plugins) monopolizing
single record channel causing EBUSY. Vrec works exactly like Vchans
(or, should I rename it to "Vplay" :) , except that it operates on the
opposite direction (recording). Up to 256 vrecs (like vchans) are
possible.

Notes:
* Relocate dev.pcm.%d.{vchans,vchanformat,vchanrate} to each of its
respective node/direction:
dev.pcm.%d.play.* for "play" (cdev = dsp%d.vp%d)
dev.pcm.%d.rec.* for "record" (cdev = dsp%d.vr%d)
* Don't expect that it will magically give you ability to split
"recording source" (eg: 1 channel for cdrom, 1 channel for mic,
etc). Just admit that you only have a *single* recording source /
channel. Please bug your hardware vendor instead :)

- Bump maxautovchans from 4 to 16. For a full-fledged multimedia
desktop/workstation with too many soundservers installed (esound,
artsd, jackd, pulse/polypaudio, ding-dong pling plong mudkip fuh fuh,
etc), 4 seems inadequate. There will be no memory penalty here, since
virtual channels are allocate only by demand.

- Nuke/Rework the entire statically created cdev entries. Everything is
clonable through snd own clone manager which designed to withstand many
kind of abusive devfs droids such as:
* while : ; do /bin/test -e /dev/dsp ; done
* jot 16777216 0 | while read x ; do ls /dev/dsp0.$x ; done
* hundreds (could be thousands) concurrent threads/process opening
"/dev/dsp" (previously, this might result EBUSY even with just
3 contesting threads/procs).
o Reusable clone objects (instead of creating new one like there's no
tomorrow) after certain expiration deadline. The clone allocator will
decide whether to reuse, share, or creating new clone.
o Automatic garbage collector.

- Dynamic unit magic allocator. Maximum attached soundcards can be tuned
using tunable "hw.snd.maxunit" (Default to 512). Minimum is 16, and
maximum is 2048.

- ..other fixes, mostly related to concurrency issues.

joel@ will do the manpage updates on sound(4).

Have fun.

Welcome to Once-a-year Sound Mega-Commit. Enjoy numerous updates and fixes
in every sense.

General
-------

- Multichannel safe, endian safe, format safe
* Large part of critical pcm filters such as vchan.c, feeder_rate.c,
feeder_volume.c, feeder_fmt.c and feeder.c has been rewritten so that
using them does not cause the pcm data to be converted to 16bit little
endian.
* Macrosses for accessing pcm data safely are defined within sound.h in
the form of PCM_READ_* / PCM_WRITE_*
* Currently, most of them are probably limited for mono/stereo handling,
but the future addition of true multichannel will be much easier.

- Low latency operation
* Well, this require lot more works to do not just within sound driver,
but we're heading towards right direction. Buffer/block sizing within
channel.c is rewritten to calculate precise allocation for various
combination of sample/data/rate size. As a result, applying correct
SNDCTL_DSP_POLICY value will achive expected latency behaviour simmilar
to what commercial 4front driver do.
* Signal handling fix. ctrl+c of "cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp" does not
result long delay.
* Eliminate sound truncation if the sound data is too small.
DIY:
1) Download / extract
http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/shortfiles.tar.gz
2) Do a comparison between "cat state*.au > /dev/dsp" and
"for x in state*.au ; do cat $x > /dev/dsp ; done"
- there should be no "perceivable" differences.
Double close for PR kern/31445.

CAVEAT: Low latency come with (unbearable) price especially for poorly
written applications. Applications that trying to act smarter
by requesting (wrong) blocksize/blockcount will suffer the most.
