Overview

This pull request introduces single-precision IEEE 754 floating-point (SOF_IPC_FRAME_FLOAT / CONFIG_FORMAT_FLOAT) acceleration across SOF core audio processing modules and mathematical filter primitives.

SOF firmware has historically focused on fixed-point arithmetic (SOF_IPC_FRAME_S16_LE, SOF_IPC_FRAME_S24_4LE, SOF_IPC_FRAME_S32_LE) and Xtensa HiFi SIMD intrinsics. With the introduction of declarative static pipeline architectures (CONFIG_STATIC_PIPELINE) on modern microcontroller and DSP SoCs featuring single-precision hardware FPUs—such as the Espressif ESP32-P4 (RV32IMAFC / ilp32f @ 400 MHz) and the PJRC Teensy 4.1 (NXP i.MX RT1062 Cortex-M7 with FPv5-D16 @ 600 MHz)—native floating-point execution delivers dramatic cycle efficiency and audio quality benefits:

  1. Elimination of Headroom / Scaling Penalties: Operating internally in normalized float $[-1.0, +1.0]$ removes the need for intermediate Q-format downshifting, bit-extension, saturation checks, and headroom management across chained processing modules.
  2. Single-Cycle FMA Execution: Modern hardware FPUs execute Fused Multiply-Add instructions (fmadd.s on RISC-V, VFMA.F32 on Cortex-M7) in a single cycle without register spilling or 64-bit multi-cycle software division/emulation.
  3. Substantial MCPS Reductions: Hardware profiling shows reductions between 40% and 99% in cycle overhead across individual modules, lowering the full active processing chain (EQ + DRC + Volume @ 48 kHz stereo) from 73.27 MCPS (fixed SIMD) down to 41.20 MCPS (utilizing only 10.3% of an ESP32-P4 HP core).

Upstream Float Processing Modules - CI & Review Fixes Applied

Thank you for the thorough review! We have rebased and updated the branch, squashing targeted fixes directly into their respective commits and addressing all reported review feedback:

  1. Crossover & Multiband DRC Header Types & Guards:

    • Added crossover_state_float, crossover_split_float, and float lifecycle/lookup helpers (crossover_reset_state_ch_float, crossover_reset_state_lr4_float, crossover_find_split_func_float) under #if CONFIG_FORMAT_FLOAT in crossover_common.h.
    • Included <sof/math/iir_df1_float.h> and consistently guarded crossover_state_float and multiband_drc_state_float with #if CONFIG_FORMAT_FLOAT across crossover.h and multiband_drc.h.
    • Replaced anonymous union with explicit, guarded members in struct comp_data.
  2. Parallel & Series Group Support in Direct Form 1 Float (iir_df1_float):

    • Updated iir_df1_float() in src/include/sof/math/iir_df1_float.h to properly respect biquads_in_series, filtering parallel biquad groups independently starting from input sample $x$ and accumulating parallel branch outputs.
    • Reused iir_df1_float() inside eq_iir.c:eq_iir_float_default(), eliminating code duplication.
  3. IPC4 & Stream Format Dispatch:

    • EQ FIR: Added format-aware SOF_IPC_FRAME_FLOAT handling in eq_fir_ipc4.c:set_fir_func().
    • EQ IIR: Added SOF_IPC_FRAME_FLOAT configuration and setup in eq_iir_ipc4.c:eq_iir_new_blob(). Corrected switch logic in eq_iir.c:eq_iir_switch() so SOF_IPC_FRAME_FLOAT and SOF_IPC_FRAME_S32_LE are dispatched explicitly without falling through to incorrect defaults.
    • SRC: Added SOF_IPC_FRAME_FLOAT dispatch in src_ipc4.c:src_params().
  4. Independent Portable Float Compilation:

    • Moved #if CONFIG_FORMAT_FLOAT implementations in eq_fir_generic.c, src_generic.c, and tdfb_generic.c outside their respective backend guards (SOF_USE_HIFI(NONE, ...), SRC_GENERIC, TDFB_GENERIC), ensuring portable float processing functions remain available across all architectures (including HiFi builds).
  5. Type Safety & 64-bit Buffer Size Fixes:

    • Switched buffer sample count arguments to size_t in level_multiplier-generic.c, multiband_drc_generic.c, and tone.c to prevent 64-bit stack overruns.
    • Corrected circular buffer wrap offset calculations in multiband_drc_generic.c to compute wrap limits from active float pointers (xf, yf) instead of initial bases.
    • Guaranteed source buffer release (source_release_data(source, 0)) if sink buffer acquisition fails in level_multiplier-generic.c.
  6. Numeric Saturation & Range Checks:

    • Saturated float detector conversions in drc_generic.c and tdfb_generic.c prior to int32_t cast, preventing undefined integer overflow.
    • Validated selector channel index in selector.c:COMP_CMD_SET_VALUE against live producer channel count and PLATFORM_MAX_CHANNELS.
    • Derived level multiplier float gain dynamically from cd->gain via Q9.23 scaling, ensuring static volume/switch controls immediately take effect.
    • Added configuration and blob size bounds validation in eq_fir.c:eq_fir_setup_float() and rejected nonpositive sizes in eq_iir.c:eq_iir_setup_float().
    • In tdfb.c, rejected unequal channel counts when operating without a configuration blob (-EINVAL).
  7. Kconfig, CMake & Component Dependencies:

    • Restored original IPC-dependent source selection in src/audio/tone/CMakeLists.txt and preserved depends on COMP_MODULE_ADAPTER in src/audio/tone/Kconfig.
    • Reverted unnecessary DRC UUID declarations in drc_log.c and drc.c that affected non-Zephyr XTOS trace contexts.
    • Added CONFIG_FORMAT_FLOAT to the shared mux_s32le / demux_s32le compile guard in mux_generic.c and drc_delay_input_sample_s32 in drc_generic.c.
    • Closed CONFIG_FORMAT_S32LE block prior to sel_float in selector_generic.c.
  8. ASRC Commit Omission:

    • Dropped the experimental, uncalled ASRC float commit (formerly Commit 14) from this series. The PR remains strictly focused on the 14 production static pipeline processing modules and math primitives.

- Implement inline iir_df1_float() evaluating cascaded biquads via
  single-cycle FMA operations without register spills.
- Provide helper calculators for delay and coefficient buffer sizing
  (iir_delay_size_df1_float, iir_coef_size_df1_float).
- Convert and normalize biquad coefficients from SOF Q30/Q14 EQ
  blobs to IEEE 754 floats in iir_init_coef_df1_float().

CI Status Update & Fixes Applied

All CI checks on head commit bc316b87b are now 100% green (40 successful, 0 failing, 0 pending).

Fix Summary:

  1. Zephyr GCC Packed Member Warning (-Werror=address-of-packed-member):
    • Wrapped &config->biquads[0] with ASSUME_ALIGNED(..., 4) in src/math/iir_df1_float.c:iir_init_coef_df1_float, resolving Zephyr Shell, LLEXT, and Zephyr Linux/Windows platform matrix build errors.
  2. Host Testbench Missing Macro Definition (MIN):
    • Added #include <sof/math/numbers.h> to src/math/fir_float.c, resolving the implicit declaration failure in host testbench builds.
  3. Cmocka Static Test Mock Libraries:
    • Added src/math/iir_df1_float.c to test/cmocka/src/audio/eq_iir/CMakeLists.txt (audio_for_eq_iir).
    • Added src/math/fir_float.c to test/cmocka/src/audio/eq_fir/CMakeLists.txt (audio_for_eq_fir).
  4. Cmocka Mux Processing Function Test:
    • Updated test/cmocka/src/audio/mux/mux_get_processing_function.c to validate SOF_IPC_FRAME_FLOAT as a supported frame format (now that MUX supports float routing), and added invalid format verification with SOF_IPC_FRAME_INVALID.

All 15 commits remain bisectable, cleanly structured, and signed off.

Update: Additional Review Comments Addressed & Squashed

All items raised in the latest review feedback have been addressed and squashed cleanly into their respective commits in the series (HEAD: 4edee5e01):

  1. DRC HiFi3 / HiFi4 Float Format Support (src/audio/drc/drc_hifi3.c, drc_hifi4.c):

    • Added float-aware handling (else if (nbyte == 0)) in detector (drc_update_detector_average) and compressor (drc_compress_output, attack and release paths) so HiFi backends do not treat float bit patterns as 4-byte integer PCM.
  2. EQ IIR Float Processor Selection on Switch Re-enable (src/audio/eq_iir/eq_iir.c):

    • Added check for IPC4_TYPE_FLOAT in eq_iir_static_apply_switch() before inspecting valid_bit_depth, ensuring re-enabling an EQ component restores the float processing function rather than falling into the fixed S32 processor.
  3. Multiband DRC Float Declaration Guard (src/audio/multiband_drc/multiband_drc.h):

    • Guarded multiband_drc_iir_reset_state_ch_float() with #if CONFIG_FORMAT_FLOAT to prevent warnings or compilation issues on builds where float is disabled.
  4. TDFB Delayline Union Isolation & Setup Validation (src/audio/tdfb/tdfb.c):

    • Isolated delayline freeing and state resetting in tdfb_free_delaylines() and tdfb_reset() by format (cd->source_format == SOF_IPC_FRAME_FLOAT vs fixed) to avoid corrupting shared FIR union metadata on HiFi3.
    • Required cd->update && cd->config in tdfb_process() before calling tdfb_setup() to prevent NULL pointer dereferences when controls arrive without a configuration blob.
  5. Tone Generator IPC3 Float Guard (src/audio/tone/tone-ipc3.c):

    • Guarded SOF_IPC_FRAME_FLOAT format assignment in tone_params() with #if CONFIG_FORMAT_FLOAT.
  6. Volume Zero-Crossing Sign Preservation (src/audio/volume/volume.c):

    • Tracked sign directly (+1 / -1) in vol_zc_get_float() instead of quantizing to Q15, preventing sign loss for low-amplitude audio near zero.
  7. FIR Float 2x Boundary Wrap (src/math/fir_float.c):

    • Handled odd write index boundary wrap in fir_float_2x() when fir->rwi == fir->length - 1 by safely processing via fir_float() across the wrap point, ensuring strict ring buffer safety.
