V4L/DVB (5305): Mark VIDIOC_DBG_S/G_REGISTER as experimental

2007-03-01T15:09:46Z

Move VIDIOC_DBG_S/G_REGISTER from the internal ioctl list to the public ioctls, but mark it as experimental for now. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (5271): Add VIDIOC_TRY_ENCODER_CMD and VIDIOC_ENCODER_CMD ioctls.

2007-03-01T15:09:46Z

Add support for starting, stopping, pausing and resuming an MPEG (or similar compressed stream) encoder. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (5270): Add VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX ioctl

2007-03-01T15:09:46Z

The VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX ioctl can obtain the MPEG index from an MPEG encoder. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (5304): Improve chip matching in v4l2_register

2007-03-01T15:09:44Z

The chip matching in struct v4l2_register for VIDIOC_DBG_G/S_REGISTER was rather primitive. It could not be extended to other busses besides i2c and it lacked a way to. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (5204): Change videodev2.h licence to dual GPL/BSD

2007-02-21T15:35:18Z

videodev2.h contains just the V4L2 API structs and defines. By allowing this header file to be dual GPL/BSD will enable sharing userspace apps between Linux and *BSD systems. It will also allow developing newer BSD licensed drivers that can be shared on Linux and *BSD. It should be noticed that most of the current V4L drivers, and v4l core itself are GPL only. This won't be changed by this patch. Signed-off-by: Michael H.

V4L/DVB (5182): Remove #if 0 section from videodev2.h

2007-02-21T15:35:14Z

Remove a section containing basically ideas for future sliced VBI standards. This can be resurrected should any of this be actually implemented. For now it only pollutes this header file. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (5181): Sliced VBI API no longer marked experimental.

2007-02-21T15:35:14Z

The Sliced VBI API is no longer marked experimental. Introduced in 2.6.14 and with only a single modification in 2.6.19 I think we can consider this API to be solid. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (5162): Change VIDIOC_DBG_[SG]_REGISTER ioctls' reg address to 64 bits

2007-02-21T15:35:10Z

Maybe someday there will be a device with a register address space > 32-bits, or maybe an i2c device which uses a protocol > 4 bytes long to address its registers. Signed-off-by: Trent Piepho Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (5146): Make VIDIOC_INT_[SG]_REGISTER ioctls no longer internal only

2007-02-21T15:34:55Z

The direct register access ioctls were defined as kernel internal only, but they are very useful for debugging hardware from userspace and are used as such. Officially export them. VIDIOC_INT_[SG]_REGISTER is renamed to VIDIOC_DBG_[SG]_REGISTER Definition of ioctl and struct v4l2_register is moved from v4l2-common.h to videodev2.h. Types used in struct v4l2_register are changed to the userspace exportable versions (u32 -> __u32, etc). Use of VIDIOC_DBG_S_REGISTER requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN permission, so move the check into the video_ioctl2() dispatcher so it doesn't need to be duplicated in each driver's call-back function. CAP_SYS_ADMIN check is added to pvrusb2 (which doesn't use video_ioctl2). Signed-off-by: Trent Piepho Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (5068): Fix authorship references

2007-02-21T15:34:20Z

Bill Dirks asked me to update his entries at kernel files, since he change his e-mail. I've also updated a few web broken links or obsolete info to the curent sites where V4L drivers and API are being discussed currently. CC: Bill Dirks Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
