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 offs...
