Hi, Here is a new version of the H264 decoding support in the cedrus driver. As you might already know, the cedrus driver relies on the Request API, and is a reverse engineered driver for the video decoding engine found on the Allwinner SoCs. This work has been possible thanks to the work done by the people behind libvdpau-sunxi found here: https://github.com/linux-sunxi/libvdpau-sunxi/ I've tested the various ABI using this gdb script: http://code.bulix.org/jl4se4-505620?raw And this test script: http://code.bulix.org/8zle4s-505623?raw The application compiled is quite trivial: http://code.bulix.org/e34zp8-505624?raw The output is: arm: builds/arm-test-v4l2-h264-structures SHA1: fd15b30328765c2caac877e8ea8452c829b2b1d8 x86: builds/x86-test-v4l2-h264-structures SHA1: fd15b30328765c2caac877e8ea8452c829b2b1d8 x64: builds/x64-test-v4l2-h264-structures SHA1: fd15b30328765c2caac877e8ea8452c829b2b1d8 arm64: builds/arm64-test-v4l2-h264-structures SHA1: fd15b30328765c2caac877e8ea8452c829b2b1d8 Let me know if there's any flaw using that test setup, or if you have any comments on the patches. Maxime Changes from v5: - Made the references to the H264 spec more explicit - Added a flag for the IDR pic - Fixed typos - Rebased on v5.1-rc1 Changes from v4: - Changed the luma and chroma weight and offset from s8 to s16 - Adjusted chroma and luma denominators masks in the driver - Casted the luma and chroma offset to prevent an overflow - ALways write the interrupt status register - Fix a bug in the sram write routine that would write something even if the length was 0 - Make the scaling lists mandatory - Made the reference list order explicit in the documentation - Made the fact that the slice structure can be an array - Renamed the slice format to V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264_SLICE_RAW - Rebased on Hans' tag br-v5.1s Changes from v3: - Reintroduced long term reference flag and documented it - Reintroduced ref_pic_list_p0/b0/b1 and documented it - Documented the DPB flags - Treat the scaling matrix as optional in the driver, as documented - Free the neighbor buffer - Increase the control IDs by a large margin to be safe of collisions - Reorder the fields documentation according to the structure layout - Change the tag documentation by the timestamp - Convert the sram array to size_t - Simplify the buffer retrieval from timestamp - Rebase Changes from v2: - Simplified _cedrus_write_ref_list as suggested by Jernej - Set whether the frame is used as reference using nal_ref_idc - Respect chroma_format_idc - Fixes for the scaling list and prediction tables - Wrote the documentation for the flags - Added a bunch of defines to the driver bit fields - Reworded the controls and data format descriptions as suggested by Hans - Reworked the controls' structure field size to avoid padding - Removed the long term reference flag - Reintroduced the neighbor info buffer - Removed the ref_pic_list_p0/b0/b1 arrays that are redundant with the one in the DPB - used the timestamps instead of tags - Rebased on 5.0-rc1 Changes from v1: - Rebased on 4.20 - Did the documentation for the userspace API - Used the tags instead of buffer IDs - Added a comment to explain why we still needed the swdec trigger - Reworked the MV col buffer in order to have one slot per frame - Removed the unused neighbor info buffer - Made sure to have the same structure offset and alignments across 32 bits and 64 bits architecture Maxime Ripard (1): media: cedrus: Add H264 decoding support Pawel Osciak (1): media: uapi: Add H264 low-level decoder API compound controls.
