To support DMABUF as one of the memory buffer, we need to implement
EXPBUF in the v4l2 compat layer.
This patch implements vidioc_expbuf as one of the supported ioctls.

V4L2Camera::getBufferFd() returns FileDescriptor. However, the
file descriptor is still owned by V4L2Camera. It should rather
return an integer to represent V4L2Camera doesn't have the
ownership of the file descriptor.

std::mutex and std::unique_lock are used in v4l2 directory,
mixing Mutex and MutexLocker. This consolidates them to Mutex
and MutexLocker.
This also fixes vidioc_dqbuf argument to take Mutex instead of
MutexLocker.

The V4L2 compatibility layer supports the single-planar API only, and
thus exposes a single V4L2 buffer plane to applications, regardless of
the number of planes in the FrameBuffer. For multi-planar frame buffers,
the bytesused value isn't correct as it only takes the first plane into
account. Fix it by summing the bytesused values for all FrameBuffer
planes.

In V4L2, a blocked dqbuf should not not also block a streamoff. This
means that on streamoff, the blocked dqbuf must return (with error). We
cannot do this with the libcamera semaphore, so pull out the necessary
components of a semaphore, and put them into V4L2Camera, so that dqbuf
from V4L2CameraProxy can wait on a disjunct condition of the
availability of the semaphore or the stopping of the stream.

Previously, since we acquired the libcamera camera upon open(), it was
impossible to support multiple open, as any subsequent opens would
return error because the camera would already be acquired.
To fix this, we first initialize the camera in the first call to
V4L2CameraProxy::open(), just to heat up the stream format cache. We
then add ownership by a V4L2CameraFile of a V4L2Camera via the
V4L2CameraProxy. All vidioc ioctls prior to reqbufs > 0 (except for
s_fmt) are able to access the camera without ownership. A call to
reqbufs > 0 (and s_fmt) will take ownership, and the ownership will be
released at reqbufs = 0. While ownership is assigned, the eventfd that
should be signaled (and cleared) by V4L2Camera and V4L2CameraProxy is
set to the V4L2CameraFile that has ownership, and is cleared when the
ownership is released. In case close() is called without a
reqbufs = 0 first, the ownership is also released on close().
We also use the V4L2CameraFile to contain all the information specific
to an open instance of the file. This removes the need to keep track of
such information within V4L2CameraProxy via multiple maps from int fd to
info.
Since V4L2 does not expect reqbufs 0 to ever return error, make
V4L2CameraProxy::freeBuffers() return void.

Prepare for using the V4L2CameraFile as a container for file-specific
information in the V4L2 compatibility layer by making it a required
argument for all V4L2CameraProxy calls that are directed from
V4L2CompatManager, which are intercepted via LD_PRELOAD. Change
V4L2CameraFile accordingly.
Also change V4L2CompatManager accordingly. Instead of keeping a map of
file descriptors to V4L2CameraProxy instances, we keep a map of
V4L2CameraFile instances to V4L2CameraProxy instances. When the
proxy methods are called, feed the file as a parameter.
The dup function is also modified, in that it is removed from
V4L2CameraProxy, and is handled completely in V4L2CompatManager, as a
map from file descriptors to V4L2CameraFile instances.

Some applications (eg. Firefox, Google Chrome, Skype) use open64,
openat64, and mmap64 instead of their non-64 versions that we currently
intercept. Intercept these calls as well. _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE needs to
be set so that the 64-bit symbols are available and not synonymous to
the non-64-bit versions on 64-bit systems.
Also, since we set _FILE_OFFSET_BITS to 32 to force the various open and
mmap symbols that we export to not be the 64-bit versions, our dlsym to
get the original open and mmap calls will not automatically be converted
to their 64-bit versions. Since we intercept both 32-bit and 64-bit
versions of open and mmap, we should be using the 64-bit version to
service both. Fetch the 64-bit versions of openat and mmap directly.
musl defines the 64-bit symbols as macros that are equivalent to the
non-64-bit symbols, so we put compile guards that check if the 64-bit
symbols are defined.

The V4L2 compatibility layer keeps track of the index of the next buffer
to be dequeued, to handle VIDIOC_DQBUF. This index is set to 0 on
startup and incremented (modulo #frames), and is otherwise never reset.
This means that if the last handled frame index is not #frames-1, and
the stream is restarted without restarting libcamera and the V4L2
compatilibity layer, the buffer index number won't match with the

If VIDIOC_REQBUFS returns -EINVAL, it signals to the application that
the requested buffer or memory type is not supported. If we return
-EINVAL due to a zero sizeimage, then the application will think that we
don't support a memory type that we actually do. We cannot error on a
zero sizeimage, because reqbufs could be called merely to probe what IO
methods we support; qv4l2, for example, called reqbufs once with userptr
and once more with mmap, both times with count=1.
On the other hand, sizeimage will be zero for formats whose size we
don't know how to calculate, such as MJPEG. If we try to stream such
formats anyway, we will get a floating point exception and crash. Issue

The V4L2 compatibility layer is licensed under the GPL. It is compiled
as a binary separate from libcamera.so, and is loaded into the address
space of processes through LD_PRELOAD to intercept calls to the C
library.
It is our understanding and intent that the GPL license doesn't
propagate to the binaries whose calls are intercepted, considering those
binaries are not derivative work of the V4L2 compatibility layer and are
not designed to be linked to the V4L2 compatibility layer. There is
however a possibly grey area if binaries are packaged with a shell
script wrapper that loads the V4L2 compatibility layer. This could lead
to license-related issues if such packaging is performed by Linux
distributions or system integrators.
To clarify the intent and lift the doubts, relicense the V4L2
compatibility layer under the LGPL. The V4L2 compatibility layer code
itself still benefits from the license protection, while its usage with
third-party binaries is clearly allowed as intended.
