2020-02-13libcamera: Document thread-safety attributes of core classesLaurent Pinchart
Define the thread-safety attributes of the classes and methods that are either thread-safe or thread-bound. The CameraManager, Camera and PipelineHandler will be addressed separately.

2020-01-07libcamera: ipc_unixsocket: Don't send uninitialized bytes over the socketLaurent Pinchart
IPCUnixSocket::send() sends a IPCUnixSocket::Header allocated on the stack. All the fields of the header are initialized, but the padding bytes are not. This results in random data being sent over the UNIX socket, potentially leaking information. Fix this by initializing the whole header to 0.

2019-07-02libcamera: ipc: unix: Make socket operation asynchronousLaurent Pinchart
Blocking socket operation when receiving messages may lead to long delays, and possibly a complete deadlock, if the remote side delays sending of the payload after the header, or doesn't send the payload at all. To avoid this, make the socket non-blocking and implement a simple state machine to receive the header synchronously with the socket read notification. The payload read is still synchronous with the receive() method to avoid data copies.

2019-07-02libcamera: ipc: unix: Add a IPC mechanism based on Unix socketsNiklas Söderlund
To be able to isolate an IPA component in a separate process an IPC mechanism is needed to communicate with it. Add an IPC mechanism based on Unix sockets which allows users to pass both data and file descriptors to and from the IPA process. The implementation allows users to send both data and file descriptors in the same message. This allows users to more easily implement serialization and deserialization of objects as all elements belonging to an object can be sent in one message.
