[For Linux 3/4] xen/sndif: add sound-device ABI

[Oleksandr Andrushchenko <andr2000@gmail.com>]

From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko <oleksandr_andrushchenko@epam.com>

Add ABI for the two halves of a para-virtualized
sound driver to communicate with each other.

The ABI allows implementing audio playback and capture as
well as volume control and possibility to mute/unmute
audio sources.

Note: depending on the use-case backend can expose more sound
cards and PCM devices/streams than the underlying HW physically
has by employing SW mixers, configuring virtual sound streams,
channels etc. Thus, allowing fine tunned configurations per
frontend.

+ *------------------------------- PCM settings --------------------------------
+ *
+ * Every virtualized sound frontend has a set of PCM devices and streams, each
+ * could be individually configured. Part of the PCM configuration can be
+ * defined at higher level of the hierarchy and be fully or partially re-used
+ * by the underlying layers. These configuration values are:
+ *  o number of channels (min/max)
+ *  o supported sample rates
+ *  o supported sample formats.
+ * E.g. one can define these values for the whole card, device or stream.
+ * Every underlying layer in turn can re-define some or all of them to better
+ * fit its needs. For example, card may define number of channels to be
+ * in [1; 8] range, and some particular stream may be limited to [1; 2] only.
+ * The rule is that the underlying layer must be a subset of the upper layer
+ * range.
+ *
+ * channels-min
+ *      Values:         <uint8_t>
+ *
+ *      The minimum amount of channels that is supported, [1; channels-max].
+ *      Optional, if not set or omitted a value of 1 is used.
+ *
+ * channels-max
+ *      Values:         <uint8_t>
+ *
+ *      The maximum amount of channels that is supported.
+ *      Must be at least <channels-min>.
+ *
+ * sample-rates
+ *      Values:         <list of uint32_t>
+ *
+ *      List of supported sample rates separated by XENSND_LIST_SEPARATOR.
+ *      Sample rates are expressed as a list of decimal values w/o any
+ *      ordering requirement.
+ *
+ * sample-formats
+ *      Values:         <list of XENSND_PCM_FORMAT_XXX_STR>
+ *
+ *      List of supported sample formats separated by XENSND_LIST_SEPARATOR.
+ *      Items must not exceed XENSND_SAMPLE_FORMAT_MAX_LEN length.
+ *
+ * buffer-size
+ *      Values:         <uint32_t>
+ *
+ *      The maximum size in octets of the buffer to allocate per stream.
+ *
+ *----------------------- Virtual sound card settings -------------------------
+ * short-name
+ *      Values:         <char[32]>
+ *
+ *      Short name of the virtual sound card. Optional.
+ *
+ * long-name
+ *      Values:         <char[80]>
+ *
+ *      Long name of the virtual sound card. Optional.
+ *
+ *----------------------------- Device settings -------------------------------
+ * name
+ *      Values:         <char[80]>
+ *
+ *      Name of the sound device within the virtual sound card. Optional.
+ *
+ *----------------------------- Stream settings -------------------------------
+ *
+ * type
+ *      Values:         "p", "c"
+ *
+ *      Stream type: "p" - playback stream, "c" - capture stream
+ *
+ *      If both capture and playback are needed then two streams need to be
+ *      defined under the same device.
+ *
+ * unique-id
+ *      Values:         <uint32_t>
+ *
+ *      After stream initialization it is assigned a unique ID (within the front
+ *      driver), so every stream of the frontend can be identified by the
+ *      backend by this ID. This is not equal to stream-idx as the later is
+ *      zero based within the device, but this index is contigous within the
+ *      driver.
+ *
+ *-------------------- Stream Request Transport Parameters --------------------
+ *
+ * event-channel
+ *      Values:         <uint32_t>
+ *
+ *      The identifier of the Xen event channel used to signal activity
+ *      in the ring buffer.
+ *
+ * ring-ref
+ *      Values:         <uint32_t>
+ *
+ *      The Xen grant reference granting permission for the backend to map
+ *      a sole page in a single page sized ring buffer.

+ *
+ *------------------------------- Recovery flow -------------------------------
+ *
+ * In case of frontend unrecoverable errors backend handles that as
+ * if frontend goes into the XenbusStateClosed state.
+ *
+ * In case of backend unrecoverable errors frontend tries removing
+ * the virtualized device. If this is possible at the moment of error,
+ * then frontend goes into the XenbusStateInitialising state and is ready for
+ * new connection with backend. If the virtualized device is still in use and
+ * cannot be removed, then frontend goes into the XenbusStateReconfiguring state
+ * until either the virtualized device removed or backend initiates a new
+ * connection. On the virtualized device removal frontend goes into the
+ * XenbusStateInitialising state.
+ *
+ * Note on XenbusStateReconfiguring state of the frontend: if backend has
+ * unrecoverable errors then frontend cannot send requests to the backend
+ * and thus cannot provide functionality of the virtualized device anymore.
+ * After backend is back to normal the virtualized device may still hold some
+ * state: configuration in use, allocated buffers, client application state etc.
+ * So, in most cases, this will require frontend to implement complex recovery
+ * reconnect logic. Instead, by going into XenbusStateReconfiguring state,
+ * frontend will make sure no new clients of the virtualized device are
+ * accepted, allow existing client(s) to exit gracefully by signaling error
+ * state etc.
+ * Once all the clients are gone frontend can reinitialize the virtualized
+ * device and get into XenbusStateInitialising state again signaling the
+ * backend that a new connection can be made.
+ *
+ * There are multiple conditions possible under which frontend will go from
+ * XenbusStateReconfiguring into XenbusStateInitialising, some of them are OS
+ * specific. For example:
+ * 1. The underlying OS framework may provide callbacks to signal that the last
+ *    client of the virtualized device has gone and the device can be removed
+ * 2. Frontend can schedule a deferred work (timer/tasklet/workqueue)
+ *    to periodically check if this is the right time to re-try removal of
+ *    the virtualized device.
+ * 3. By any other means.

+ * o usage of grant reference 0 as invalid grant reference:
+ *   grant reference 0 is valid, but never exposed to a PV driver,

+ *       Description of the protocol between frontend and backend driver
+ ******************************************************************************
+ *
+ * The two halves of a Para-virtual sound driver communicate with
+ * each other using shared pages and event channels.
+ * Shared page contains a ring with request/response packets.
+ *
+ * Packets, used for input/output operations, e.g. read/write, set/get volume,
+ * etc., provide offset/length fields in order to allow asynchronous protocol
+ * operation with buffer space sharing: part of the buffer allocated at
+ * XENSND_OP_OPEN can be used for audio samples and part, for example,
+ * for volume control.
+ *
+ * All reserved fields in the structures below must be 0.
+ *
+ *---------------------------------- Requests ---------------------------------
+ *
+ * All request packets have the same length (32 octets)
+ * All request packets have common header:
