This patch adds a new proc entry for PCM substreams to inject an
XRUN. When a PCM substream is running and any value is written to its
xrun_injection proc file, the driver triggers XRUN. This is a useful
feature for debugging XRUN and error handling code paths.
Note that this entry is enabled only when CONFIG_SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG is
set.

ALSA PCM core has a mechanism tracking the PCM hwptr updates for
analyzing XRUNs. But its log is limited (up to 10) and its log output
is a kernel message, which is hard to handle.
In this patch, the hwptr logging is moved to the tracing
infrastructure instead of its own. Not only the hwptr updates but
also XRUN and hwptr errors are recorded on the trace log, so that user
can see such events at the exact timing.
The new "snd_pcm" entry will appear in the tracing events:
# ls -F /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/snd_pcm
enable filter hw_ptr_error/ hwptr/ xrun/
The hwptr is for the regular hwptr update events. An event trace
looks like:
aplay-26187 [004] d..3 4012.834761: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: POS: pos=488, old=0, base=0, period=1024, buf=16384
"POS" shows the hwptr update by the explicit position update call and
"IRQ" means the hwptr update by the interrupt,
i.e. snd_pcm_period_elapsed() call. The "pos" is the passed
ring-buffer offset by the caller, "old" is the previous hwptr, "base"
is the hwptr base position, "period" and "buf" are period- and
buffer-size of the target PCM substream.
(Note that the hwptr position displayed here isn't the ring-buffer
offset. It increments up to the PCM position boundary.)
The XRUN event appears similarly, but without "pos" field.
The hwptr error events appear with the PCM identifier and its reason
string, such as "Lost interrupt?".
The XRUN and hwptr error reports on kernel message are still left, can
be turned on/off via xrun_debug proc like before. But the bit 3, 4, 5
and 6 bits of xrun_debug proc are dropped by this patch. Also, along
with the change, the message strings have been reformatted to be a bit
more consistent.
Last but not least, the hwptr reporting is enabled only when
CONFIG_SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG is set.

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.

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.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
