Merge series from Cezary Rojewski <cezary.rojewski@intel.com>: The patchset focuses on debug functionality for the avs-driver. Two major blocks are covered here: data probing and AudioDSP firmware logging. Both are configured and controlled through debugfs. Data probing is a AudioDSP debug functionality which allows for gathering the actual data that is being routed to or from a module. Helps in debugging its processing capabilities - navigate to a specific module which may have caused a glitch within a pipeline (set of modules bound together). First few allow for assigning compress stream to a HDAudio stream, what is currently limited to pcm substreams only. These patches were already present on this list and reviewed in the past [1]. The next few tidy existing debug-related code up so it's ready for addition of new functionalities and make it clear which part of the avs is debug related and which is not. These also simplify the existing locking around the trace fifo. Afterward, debug-related IPCs are defined along with stub soc-component and compress DAI operations. Not much is done there as it's not a standard PCM streaming scenario. Most code found in compress operations is inherited from the HOST side of HDAudio streaming found in pcm.c file of the driver. Finally, a debugfs file operations are defined. These facilitate connecting to DSP modules from which the data shall be gathered as well as control and configuration of firmware logging. Additionally, entries are added to allow for dumping snapshots of key memory windows.
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
