[BUG] [PTL?] Firmware crash when using compress stream with apps/os_linux_overlay.conf

[ujfalusi]

Describe the bug
When the firmware is built with apps/os_linux_overlay.conf any compress operation will leads to a firmware crash on PTL at leasr, MTL/ARL works fine.

To Reproduce
Build firmware for PTL w/ the linux overlay:

./scripts/xtensa-build-zephyr.py -o app/compr/all_codecs.conf -o app/os_linux_overlay.conf ptl

on DUT:

./src/utils/cplay -c0 -d52 -I MP3 <mp3 file>
./src/utils-lgpl/fcplay -c0 -d52 -I AAC <aac file>
./src/utils/cplay -c0 -d52 -I PCM <wav file>

in all cases the fw crashes (works on MTL)

Build firmware for PTL w/o the linux overlay:

./scripts/xtensa-build-zephyr.py -o app/compr/all_codecs.conf ptl

on DUT:

./src/utils/cplay -c0 -d52 -I MP3 <mp3 file>
./src/utils-lgpl/fcplay -c0 -d52 -I AAC <aac file>
./src/utils/cplay -c0 -d52 -I PCM <wav file>

mp3, aac works fine, pcm fails with memory allocation issue (all works fine on MTL)

Reproduction Rate
100%

Expected behavior
The firmware does not crash in case of mp3 and aac, pcm fail with memory allocation.

Impact
Compress is not usable with app/os_linux_overlay.conf, which is the primary configuration for Linux.

Environment

1. Branch name and commit hash of the 2 repositories: sof (firmware/topology) and linux (kernel driver).
   • Kernel: ANy
   • SOF: main
2. Name of the topology file
   • Topology: sof-sdca-amp-compr.tplg, sof-sdca-jack-compr.tplg
3. Name of the platform(s) on which the bug is observed.
   • Platform: PTL as tested, but LNL and WCL might be impacted
