2022-07-15media: videodev2.h: add V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DYNAMIC_ARRAYHans Verkuil1-0/+8
Add a new flag that indicates that this control is a dynamically sized array. Also document this flag. Currently dynamically sized arrays are limited to one dimensional arrays, but that might change in the future if there is a need for it. The initial use-case of dynamic arrays are stateless codecs. A frame can be divided in many slices, so you want to provide an array containing slice information for each slice. Typically the number of slices is small, but the standard allow for hundreds or thousands of slices. Dynamic arrays are a good solution since sizing the array for the worst case would waste substantial amounts of memory.

2021-05-23media: uapi: mpeg2: Remove V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MPEG2_SLICE_PARAMSEzequiel Garcia1-6/+0
The Hantro and Cedrus drivers work in frame-mode, meaning they expect all the slices in a picture (either frame or field structure) to be passed in each OUTPUT buffer. These two are the only V4L2 MPEG-2 stateless decoders currently supported. Given the VA-API drivers also work per-frame, coalescing all the MPEG-2 slices in a buffer before the decoding operation, it makes sense to not expect slice-mode drivers and therefore remove V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MPEG2_SLICE_PARAMS. This is done to avoid carrying an unused interface. If needed, this control can be added without breaking backwards compatibility. Note that this would mean introducing a enumerator control to specify the decoding mode (see V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_DECODE_MODE).

2021-05-23media: uapi: mpeg2: Split sequence and picture parametersEzequiel Garcia1-0/+12
Typically, bitstreams are composed of a sequence header, followed by a number of picture header and picture coding extension headers. Each picture can be composed of a number of slices. Let's split the MPEG-2 uAPI to follow these semantics more closely, allowing more usage flexibility. Having these controls split up allows applications to set a sequence control at the beginning of a sequence, and then set a picture control for each frame. While here add padding fields where needed, and document the uAPI header thoroughly. Note that the V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_{} defines had to be moved because it clashes with existing ones. This is not really an issue since they will be re-defined when the controls are moved out of staging.

2021-03-22media: uapi: move VP8 stateless controls out of stagingEzequiel Garcia1-0/+6
Until now, the VP8 V4L2 API was not exported as a public API, and only defined in a private media header (media/vp8-ctrls.h). The reason for this was a concern about the API not complete and ready to support VP8 decoding hardware accelerators. After reviewing the VP8 specification in detail, and now that the API is able to support Cedrus and Hantro G1, we can consider this ready.

Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API, created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide"). As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate place. Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether will likely make things easier for developers. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
