[PATCH v1 0/4] ALSA: compress_offload: Add 64-bit safe timestamp API

From: Joris Verhaegen <verhaegen at google.com>

The current compress offload timestamping API relies on
struct snd_compr_tstamp, whose cumulative counters like
copied_total are defined as __u32. On long-running high-resolution
audio streams, these 32-bit counters can overflow,
causing incorrect availability calculations.

This patch series introduces a parallel, 64-bit safe API to solve
this problem while maintaining perfect backward compatibility with the
existing UAPI. A new pointer64 operation and corresponding ioctls
are added to allow the kernel to track counters using u64 and expose
these full-width values to user-space.

The series is structured as follows:

Patch 1: Introduces the new internal pointer64 op, refactors the
core logic to use it, and defines the new UAPI structs.

Patch 2: Exposes the SNDRV_COMPRESS_TSTAMP64 ioctl.

Patch 3: Exposes the corresponding SNDRV_COMPRESS_AVAIL64 ioctl.

Patch 4: Implements the new .pointer64 operation in various ASoC
drivers that support compress offload.

This series has been tested on a Pixel 9 device. All compress offload
use cases, including long-running playback, were verified to work
correctly with the new 64-bit API, and no regressions were observed
when using the legacy API.

Thanks,
George (Joris) Verhaegen
