2019-08-11libcamera: pipeline: vimc: Switch to using the RGB/YUV Capture video nodeNiklas Söderlund
Linux commit 85ab1aa1fac17bcd ("media: vimc: deb: fix default sink bayer format") which is part of v5.2 changes the default media bus format for the debayer subdevices. This leads to a -EPIPE error when trying to use the raw capture video device nodes. Fix this by moving the vimc pipeline to use the RGB/YUV Capture capture video node. As a consequence of this change the scaler in the vimc pipeline is used and a hard coded upscale of 3 is present in the video pipeline. This limits the sizes exposed and accepted by libcamera to multiples of 3. Update the buffer import test case to match this new format constraint by setting the resolution to 1920x1080, a resolution which works with both vimc and vivid. With this new resolution the buffer import test takes a bit more time to complete 60 buffers and it's runtime also needs to be increased. The raw capture video node still needs to be handled by the pipeline as its format needs to be updated to allow the pipeline format validation to pass.

2019-08-01libcamera: ipa_module: prevent uninitialised accessKieran Bingham
The IPAModule::loadIPAModuleInfo() function includes a *data pointer which is used as a null-pointer comparison in the error path with a conditional statement of "if (ret || !data)". The data variable is not initialised, and a single error path evaluates this as "if (true || uninitialised)". Whilst this error path does not incorrectly utilise the uninitialised data, as the ret evaluates to true already, it does leave a statement which includes an uninitialised variable.

2019-07-17libcamera: ipu3: Do not re-queue cancelled buffersJacopo Mondi
When a video device is stopped all the buffers there queued are released and their state is set to BufferCancelled. Currently, on buffer completion, cancelled buffers are blindly re-queued to the ImgU input or CIO2 output devices, preventing them to be re-started succesfully in future capture sessions. Fix that by inspecting the buffers status and skip re-queueing if they're reported as cancelled. For the ImgU output buffer this is not required, as cancelled request should be reported to applications in order to report them failure of the capture operations.

2019-07-17libcamera: ipu3: Disable links at configure() timeJacopo Mondi
With the current IPU3 kernel driver implementation, a linked pipe shall be used (buffers should be queued on it) in order not to block all other pipes. Currently all links on the ImgU device are only disabled at match() time, implying that once an ImgU pipe gets linked, it should be used until the whole pipeline is not re-matched and links disabled again. This is a severe limitation for applications that wants to switch between cameras using different pipes going through a full library tear-down and reload. Perform link disabling at configure() time as well, so that a camera configuration operation always unlock the usage of the assigned pipe, regardless of the previously linked ones. Unfortunately this requires a camera start/stop sequence to always go through a configure step, a requirement that is not enforced by the Camera state machine.

2019-07-14libcamera: buffer: Split memory information to BufferMemoryLaurent Pinchart
The Buffer class is a large beast the stores information about the buffer memory, dynamic metadata related to the frame stored in the buffer, and buffer reference data (in the index). In order to implement buffer import we will need to extend this with dmabuf file descriptors, making usage of the class even more complex. Refactor the Buffer class by splitting the buffer memory information to a BufferMemory class, and repurposing the Buffer class to reference a buffer and to store dynamic metadata. The BufferMemory class becomes a long term storage, valid and stable from the time buffer memory is allocated to the time it is freed. The Buffer class, on the other hand, becomes transient, is created on demand when an application requires a buffer, is given to a request, and is deleted when the request completes. Buffer and BufferMemory don't need to be copied, so their copy constructor and assignment operators are deleted.

2019-07-11libcamera: signal: Fix Object handling in multiple inheritance casesLaurent Pinchart
The SlotBase implementation stores the receiver object pointer as a void pointer internally. The pointer is then cast back to an Object pointer when the receiver object class derives from Object. When the receiver is an object that inherits from both the Object class and other classes, the Object data members may not be stored at the beginning of the object memory. The cast back to an Object pointer is thus incorrect. Fix this by casting the receiver object pointer to an Object pointer where the type of the receiver object is known, and pass it along with the receiver void pointer to the SlotBase class. The SlotBase class stores both pointers internally, and doesn't need the isObject_ field anymore as the same information is obtained from checking if the Object pointer is null. To avoid confusing the two pointers, use the same naming scheme through the whole implementation: "obj" points to a receiver object as an unknown type, and "object" to the receiver object cast to an Object. The latter is null when the receiver object doesn't inherit from the Object class. To further clarify the code, remove direct access to the SlotBase "obj" and "object" fields as much as possible. They are replaced by two new methods : - SlotBase::disconnect() to disconnect a signal from the slot's receiver object - SlotBase::match() to test if an object pointer matches the slot The match() method is a template method with a specialisation for the Object type, to compare either the obj or the object pointer depending on the type of the parameter. This is required as the Object destructor calls the SignalBase::disconnect() method for signal connected to the object, and passes a pointer to Object to that method, while the actual object may have a different address due to the issue explained above. The pointer must thus be compared with the stored Object pointer in that case, not to the pointer to the receiver object.
