To match the enumerated media devices, each registered pipeline handler
is used in no specific order. It is a limitation when several pipelines
can match the devices, and user has to select a specific pipeline.
For this purpose, environment variable LIBCAMERA_PIPELINES_MATCH_LIST is
created to give the option to define an ordered list of pipelines to
match on.
LIBCAMERA_PIPELINES_MATCH_LIST="<name1>[,<name2>[,<name3>...]]]"
Example:
LIBCAMERA_PIPELINES_MATCH_LIST="rkisp1,simple"

Source files in libcamera start by a comment block header, which
includes the file name and a one-line description of the file contents.
While the latter is useful to get a quick overview of the file contents
at a glance, the former is mostly a source of inconvenience. The name in
the comments can easily get out of sync with the file name when files
are renamed, and copy & paste during development have often lead to
incorrect names being used to start with.
Readers of the source code are expected to know which file they're
looking it. Drop the file name from the header comment blocks in all
remaining locations that were not caught by the automated script as they
are out of sync with the file name.

The CameraManager::get(dev_t) implementation was provided only for the
V4L2 Adaptation layer. This has now been replaced with the use of the

Remove the deprecated function entirely, along with the camerasByDevnum_
map which was only used to support this functionality.

Register the identified device numbers with each camera as the
SystemDevices property.
This facilitates camera daemons or other systems to identify which
devices are being managed by libcamera, and can prevent duplication of
camera resources.
As the SystemDevices property now provides this list of devices, use it
directly from within the CameraManager when adding a Camera rather than
passing it through the internal API.

The CameraManager exposes addCamera and removeCamera as public API
calls, while they should never be called from an application. These
calls are only expected to be used by PipelineHandlers to update the
CameraManager that a new Camera has been created and allow the Camera
Manager to expose it to applications.
Remove the public calls and update the private implementations such that
they can be used directly by the PipelineHandler through the internal
CameraManager::Private provided by the Extensible class.

createPipelineHandlers
Currently the function `createPipelineHandlers` connects itself to the
`devicesAdded` signal at the end of each call. As the Signal object
supports multiple non-unique listeners connected to it, the former
function would be called exponentially often with each new emitted event
on `devicesAdded` (i.e. with udev plugging in a new camera)
Fix it by connecting the createPipelineHandlers() slot to `devicesAdded`
signal in CameraManager::Private::init() instead. This will prevent the
slot getting connected multiple times to the `devicesAdded` signal.

When disconnecting a signal from a receiver, it is usually not necessary
to specify the receiver's slot function explicitly, as the signal is
often connected to a single slot for a given receiver. We can thus use a
simpler version of Signal::disconnect() that takes a pointer to the
receiver object only. This reduces code size, as the disconnect()

The Extensible and Extensible::Private classes contain pointers to each
other. These pointers are initialized in the respective class's
constructor, by passing a pointer to the other class to each
constructor. This particular construct reduces the flexibility of the
Extensible pattern, as the Private class instance has to be allocated
and constructed in the members initializer list of the Extensible
class's constructor. It is thus impossible to perform any operation on
the Private class between its construction and the construction of the
Extensible class, or to subclass the Private class without subclassing
the Extensible class.
To make the design pattern more flexible, don't pass the pointer to the
Extensible class to the Private class's constructor, but initialize the
pointer manually in the Extensible class's constructor. This requires a
const_cast as the o_ member of the Private class is const.

The pipes_ vector was initially used to store pipeline handlers
instances with the CameraManager when it cannot be referenced from
anywhere else. It was used to retrieve cameras and deleting pipeline
handlers when stopping the camera manager.
In f3695e9b09ce ("libcamera: camera_manager: Register cameras with the
camera manager"), cameras started to get registered directly with camera
manager and in 5b02e03199b7 ("libcamera: camera: Associate cameras with
their pipeline handler") pipeline handlers started to get stored in a
std::shared_ptr<> with each camera starting to hold a strong reference
to its associated pipeline-handler. At this point, both the camera
manager and the camera held a strong reference to the pipeline handler.
Since the additional reference held by the camera manager gets released
only on cleanup(), this lurking reference held on pipeline handler did
not allow it to get destroyed even when cameras instances have been
destroyed. This situation of having a pipeline handler instance around
without having a camera may lead to problems (one of them explained
below) especially when the camera manager is still running.
It was noticed that, there was a dangling driver directory issue (tested
for UVC camera - in /sys/bus/usb/drivers/uvcvideo) on 'unbind' → 'bind'
operation while the CameraManager is running. The directories were still
kept around even after 'unbind' because of the lurking reference of
pipeline handler holding onto them. That reference would clear if and
only if the CameraManager is stopped and then only directories were
getting removed in the above stated path.
Rather than writing a fix to release the pipeline handlers' reference
from camera manager on camera disconnection, it is decided to eliminate
the pipes_ vector from CameraManager moving forwards. There is no
point in holding a reference to it from camera manager's point-of-view
at this stage. It also helps us to fix the issue as explained above.
Now that the pipeline handler instances are referenced via cameras only,
it can happen that the destruction of last the camera instance may
result in destruction of the pipeline handler itself. Such a possibility
exists in PipelineHandler::disconnect(), where the pipeline handler
itself can get destroyed while removing the camera. This is acceptable
as long as we make sure that there is no access of pipeline handler's
members later on in the code path. Address this situation and also add a
detailed comment about it.

The V4L2 compatibility layer uses devnum to match video device nodes to
libcamera Cameras. Some pipeline handlers don't report a devnum for
their camera, which prevents the V4L2 compatibility layer from matching
video device nodes to these cameras. To fix this, we first allow the
camera manager to map multiple devnums to a camera. Next, we walk the
media device and entity list and tell the camera manager to map every
one of these devnums that is a video capture node to the camera.
Since we decided that all video capture nodes that belong to a camera
can be opened via the V4L2 compatibility layer to map to that camera, it
would cause confusion for users if some pipeline handlers decided that
only specific device nodes would map to the camera. To prevent this
confusion, remove the ability for pipeline handlers to declare their own
devnum-to-camera mapping. The only pipeline handler that declares the
devnum mapping is the UVC pipeline handler, so remove the devnum there.
We considered walking the media entity list and taking the devnum from
just the one with the default flag set, but we found that some drivers
(eg. vimc) don't set this flag for any entity. Instead, we take all the
video capture nodes (entities with the sink pad flag set).

The libcamera internal headers are located in src/libcamera/include/.
The directory is added to the compiler headers search path with a meson
include_directories() directive, and internal headers are included with
(e.g. for the internal semaphore.h header)
#include "semaphore.h"
All was well, until libcxx decided to implement the C++20
synchronization library. The __threading_support header gained a
#include <semaphore.h>
to include the pthread's semaphore support. As include_directories()
adds src/libcamera/include/ to the compiler search path with -I, the
internal semaphore.h is included instead of the pthread version.
Needless to say, the compiler isn't happy.
Three options have been considered to fix this issue:
- Use -iquote instead of -I. The -iquote option instructs gcc to only
consider the header search path for headers included with the ""
version. Meson unfortunately doesn't support this option.
- Rename the internal semaphore.h header. This was deemed to be the
beginning of a long whack-a-mole game, where namespace clashes with
system libraries would appear over time (possibly dependent on
particular system configurations) and would need to be constantly
fixed.
- Move the internal headers to another directory to create a unique
namespace through path components. This causes lots of churn in all
the existing source files through the all project.
The first option would be best, but isn't available to us due to missing
support in meson. Even if -iquote support was added, we would need to
fix the problem before a new version of meson containing the required
support would be released.
The third option is thus the only practical solution available. Bite the
bullet, and do it, moving headers to include/libcamera/internal/.

Relying on the application event loop to process all our internal events
is a bad idea for multiple reasons. In many cases the user of libcamera
can't provide an event loop, for instance when running through one of
the adaptation layers. The Android camera HAL and V4L2 compatibility
layer create a thread for this reason, and the GStreamer element would
need to do so as well. Furthermore, relying on the application event
loop pushes libcamera's realtime constraints to the application, which
isn't manageable.
For these reasons it's desirable to always run the camera manager, the
pipeline handlers and the cameras in a separate thread. Doing so isn't
too complicated, it only involves creating the thread internally when
starting the camera manager, and synchronizing a few methods of the
Camera class. Do so as a first step towards defining the threading model
of libcamera.
The event dispatcher interface is still exposed to applications, to
enable cross-thread signal delivery if desired.

The CameraManager class is not supposed to be instantiated multiple
times, which led to a singleton implementation. This requires a global
instance of the CameraManager, which is destroyed when the global
destructors are executed.
Relying on global instances causes issues with cleanup, as the order in
which the global destructors are run can't be controlled. In particular,
the Android camera HAL implementation ends up destroying the
CameraHalManager after the CameraManager, which leads to use-after-free
problems.
To solve this, remove the CameraManager::instance() method and make the
CameraManager class instantiable directly. Multiple instances are still
not allowed, and this is enforced by storing the instance pointer
internally to be checked when an instance is created.

The CameraManager class uses the event dispatcher of the current thread.
This makes the CameraManager::eventDispatcher() and
CameraManager::setEventDispatcher() methods inconsistent, as they access
different event dispatcher instances depending on the calling thread.
Fix this by inheriting from the Object class, which binds the
CameraManager to a thread, and use the event dispatcher of the bound
thread.

The new Thread class wraps std::thread in order to integrate it with the
Object, Signal and EventDispatcher classes. By default new threads run
an internal event loop, and their run() method can be overloaded to
provide a custom thread loop.

Commit b817bcec6b53 ("libcamera: Auto generate version information")
generates version information in order to automatically include it
various locations (Sphinx and Doxygen documentation, libcamera::version
variable available at runtime, and version.h available at compile time).
Unfortunately this causes lots of unnecessary rebuilds when modifying
the git tree state, which hinders development.
The problem is caused by the generated version.h being listed as a
dependency for the whole libcamera. This is required as meson (to the
best of my knowledge) doesn't provide a way to explicitly specify the
dependency of a single object file (camera_manager.o in this case, as
camera_manager.cpp is the only consumer of the generated version string)
on the custom target used to generate version.h. The dependency can't be
automatically detected at build time, like dependencies on normal
headers that are generated by parsing the source, because the version.h
header may not exist yet. The build could then fail in a racy way.
This change attempts at solving the issue by generating a version.cpp
instead of a version.h to set the git-based version. This minimises the
number of files that need to be rebuild when then git tree state
changes, while retaining the main purpose of the original automatic
version generation, the ability to access the git-based version string
at runtime. We however lose the ability to access git-based version
information at build time in an application building against libcamera,
but there is no expected use case for this.
The version string is moved from the libcamera namespace to the
CameraManager class in order to avoid including version.h inside
libcamera (in version.cpp and in camera_manager.cpp), which would create
dependencies causing more rebuild steps, as described above.
On the other hand, major, minor and patch level version numbers are
useful at build time. This commit changes the generation of version.h in
order to add three macros named LIBCAMERA_VERSION_MAJOR,
LIBCAMERA_VERSION_MINOR and LIBCAMERA_VERSION_PATCH for this purpose.
version.h is not included by any other libcamera header or source file,
and thus doesn't force a rebuild of the library.
The Sphinx and Doxygen documentation keep their git-based version
information, which is set during the configuration of the build and then
doesn't track git commits. We may want to investigate how to improve
this, but given that git-based version for the documentation has very
few use cases outside of tagging nightly builds, this isn't considered
an issue at the moment.
The documentation install directory now uses the base version string, in
order to avoid increasing the number of documentation directories
needlessly. This shouldn't cause any issue as the API should not change
without a change to the version number.
The version number generation and handling code now also standardises
the version variables to not start with a 'v' prefix in meson, in order
to simplify their handling. The prefix is added when generating the
relevant files.
Note that we go back to specifying the fallback version in the main
meson.build, in the call to the project() function. For the time being I
believe this should be a good compromise to avoid unnecessary
recompilation, and moving the fallback version to a different file for
tarball releases can be built on top of this.

Generate a version string, and provide a global string object which
allows applications to interrogate the current libcamera version
information.
The version header is automatically updated by meson on each build.
The string roughly follows the semver [0] conventions of
major.minor.patch-label as a value.
[0] https://semver.org/
A script (utils/gen-version.sh) is provided which is modelled upon the
processing from autoconf's git-version-gen. The gen-version.sh script
will look for tags in the form vX.Y as starting points for the version
string. While the repository does not have any matching tags, v0.0 will
be assumed, resulting in versions with both major and minor being set to
'0', and the patch count resulting from the number of patches in the
history to that point.
Finally, a uniquely identifying shortened hash is provided from git:
v0.0.509+0ec0edf7

libcamera depends on libudev for device enumeration. It is however
useful to allow building documentation without requiring the dependency
to be installed. Make the libudev dependency optional and compile the
udev-based device enumerator out when libudev is not present.
Note that while libcamera will compile without libudev, it will not be
able to enumerate devices. A sysfs-based device enumerator is planned as
a fallback but not implemented yet.
