- Increase dynamic range of filter coefficients from 28bit to 30bit.

2009-07-05T18:15:06Z

This cause dramatic effect in overall precision and conversion quality by pushing down most aliasing artifacts around -180 dB. Spectrogram analysis/comparison: http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/z_comparison/z_28vs30/ - Guard against possible 64bit overflow during accumulation process by slightly normalize and saturate sample and coefficient multiplication, possible during extreme 32bit downsampling (eg. 380KHz -> 8KHz) with custom preset that require more than ~7000 taps filter (which is overkill). - Add knobs through FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS to set dynamic range of filter coefficients/accumulator and prefered polynomial interpolator: COEFFICIENT_BIT:X (where 1 <= X <= 30, default: 30) ACCUMULATOR_BIT:X (where 32 <= X <=64, default: 58) INTERPOLATOR:I (where I = ZOH, LINEAR, QUADRATIC, HERMITE, BSPLINE, OPT32X, OPT16X, OPT8X, OPT4X, OPT2X) Approved by: re (kib)

- Add a way to change filter oversampling factor through

2009-06-15T04:31:34Z

FEEDER_RATE_PRESET "OVERSAMPLING_FACTOR:X .. .." where X = log2(oversampling factor). - Lower down default filter oversampling factor from 128 (log2 = 7) to 32 (log2 = 5), saving worth of 80 Kb. The use of better polynomial interpolator will raise its conversion quality/accuracy to match (or slightly better) with previous settings. - Bump driver version.

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 * 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 SND_OLDSTEREO Manual page updates are on the way. Tested by: joel, Olivier SMEDTS , too many unsung / unnamed heroes.

Add SDT DTrace probes for VFS vnode operations in the vfs:vop

provider namespace. These are inserted dynamically into the VOP_..._AP() functions created from vnode_if.src. Each VOP has entry and return probes, as arg0 the primary vnode, arg1 the vnode operation argument structure pointer, providing access to IN and OUT arguments, and for return probes, arg2 the return value.

Introduce a standalone shell script for embedding MFS image.

This allows to fix a problem with ARM kernel.bin not having the MFS image embedded: it is objcopied from the kernel.noheader temporary ELF file, which was not subject to embedding the MFS image previously. Reviewed by: imp Approved by: cognet (mentor)
