V4L/DVB (7593): em28xx: add a module to handle dvb
This patch adds em28xx-dvb. This driver is highly based on cx88-dvb and
saa7134-dvb.
This code currently loads and unloads successfully. However, some
changes are needed to properly support the mpeg streams and to setup
em28xx to work on DVB mode.

This patch modifies Dmitri's original ibmcam driver for Linux to improve
support for the IBM PC Camera Pro. It may also offer improved support for

V4L/DVB (7580): Fix concurrent read from /proc/videocodecs
Observation one: ->write_proc and ->data assignments aren't needed. Removed.
Observation two: codecs lists are unprotected. Patch doesn't fix this.
Observation three:
/proc/videocodecs printout is done to temporary _global_ buffer which
is freed in between. Consequently, two users hitting this file can
screwup each other.
Steps to reproduce:
modprobe videocodec
while true; do cat /proc/videocodecs &>/dev/null; done &
while true; do cat /proc/videocodecs &>/dev/null; done &
The fix is switching to seq_files, this removes code, especially some
line-length "logic".

There are some fields that are just caching some calculus for buffer
size. The calculus were moved to the places it were needed and the now
unused fields were removed.
V4L/DVB (7566): videobuf-dvb: allow its usage with videobuf-vmalloc
videobuf-dvb were still using a function that were videobuf-dma-sg
dependent. This patch creates a generic handler for this function. This
way, videobuf-dvb can now work with all videobuf implementations.
This patch fixes three related issues and a fourth trivial one:
- Use buffers even if no-one's currently waiting for them (fixes
underrun issues);
- Don't return incomplete/mangled frames at the start of streaming and
in the case of buffer underruns;
- Fix an issue which could cause the driver to write to a buffer that's
been freed after videobuf_queue_cancel is called (exposed by the
previous two fixes - for some reason, ignoring buffers that weren't
being waited on worked around the issue);
- Fix a bug which could cause only one field to be filled in the first
buffer (or first few buffers) after streaming is started.
There are some cases where nobody is waiting for a buffer. Due to the
lack of check, if you try to abort the userspace app, machine were
hanging, since IRQ were trying to use a buffer that were disallocated.

V4L/DVB (7562): videobuf: Require spinlocks for all videobuf users
A spinlock is necessary for queue_cancel to work with every driver in the tree.
Otherwise a race exists between IRQ handlers removing buffers from the queue
and queue_cancel invalidating the queue.
There were a small bug on videobuf-vmalloc that were preventing STREAMOFF to
work. The issue is that vmalloc'ed mmaped memory should only be freed after
being sure that there aren't any mmap usage. Otherwise, the memory remap will
stop working, and the userspace won't receive any frames.
This bug were affecting some userspace applications, like tvtime.
After this patch, tvtime started to work again with the drivers that use
videobuf-vmalloc.
Basically, remap were called with a wrong parameter. Due to that, a later remap
were needed, generating the need of some hacks on videobuf-vmalloc and
videobuf-core.
This patch fixes the remap and removes the hacks.
TODO:
- V4L2_MEMORY_USERPTR is not implemented yet. This method should be
properly implemented, in order to work with a few userspace applications.
- The driver also doesn't implement V4L2_MEMORY_OVERLAY. This method is used
only by a few applications, and are becaming obsolete, due to the increment
of cpu performance. So, most apps prefer to retrieve data to an internal
buffer, doing some processing like de-interlacing.
V4L/DVB (7548): Various fixes for the em28xx videobuf code
- Aborting buffer_filled if no-one's waiting on the waitqueue probably isn't
what we want, since just because no-one's waiting for it now doesn't mean they
wouldn't dequeue it in time. (vivi gets away with this, possibly because it
can fill each buffer much faster.)
- The first BUG_ON(lencopy <= 0); really isn't worth causing a kernel panic
over, especially since there are some reasons why it could trigger in normal use.
- The top and botom frames are actually the wrong way around.
It fixes a couple of minor bugs, comments out a bogus BUG_ON, sets fh->type
correctly, uses dev->width and dev->height for now, and adds a missing spinlock
init (nasty - caused a system lockup). It also adds some debug code which
probably isn't all that useful. I haven't tested this version of the patch yet,
though, so I'm not sure what you can expect if you try it.
Also, the preliminary tests, made on a single core 1.5 MHz Centrino showed
that CPU usage reduced from 42%-75% to 28%-33% (reports from "top") command.
A test with time command presented an even better result:
This is the performance tests I did, running code_example to get 1,000 frames
@29.995 Hz (about 35 seconds of stream), tested on a i386 machine, running at
1,5GHz:
The old driver:
$ time -f "%E: %Us User time, %Ss Kernel time, %P CPU used" ./capture_example
0:34.21: 8.22s User time, 25.16s Kernel time, 97% CPU used
The videobuf-based driver:
$ time -f "%E: %Us User time, %Ss Kernel time, %P CPU used" ./capture_example
0:35.36: 0.01s User time, 0.05s Kernel time, 0% CPU used
Conclusion:
The time consumption to receive the stream where reduced from about 33.38
seconds to 0.05 seconds.

V4L/DVB (7538): Adds selectable adapter numbers as per module option
The adapter_nr module options can be used to allocate static adapter
numbers on a driver level. It avoids problems with changing DVB apapter
numbers after warm/cold boot or device unplugging and repluging.
Each driver holds DVB_MAX_ADAPTER long array of the preferred order of
adapter numbers.
options dvb-usb-dib0700 adapter_nr=7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 would result in a
reversed allocation of adapter numbers.
With adapter_nr=2,5 it tries first to get adapter number 2 and 5. If
both are already in use it will allocate the lowest free adapter number.

V4L/DVB (7493): videobuf: Avoid deadlock with QBUF and bring up to spec for empty queue
Add a waitqueue to wait on when there are no buffers in the buffer queue.
DQBUF waits on this queue without holding vb_lock to allow a QBUF to happen.
Once a buffer has been queued we recheck that the queue is still streaming and
wait on the new buffer's waitqueue while holding the vb_lock. The driver
should come along in a timely manner and put the buffer into its next state
finishing the DQBUF.
By implementing this waitqueue it also brings the videobuf DQBUF up to spec and
it now blocks on O_NONBLOCK even when no buffers have been queued via QBUF:
"By default VIDIOC_DQBUF blocks when no buffer is in the outgoing queue."

V4L/DVB (7492): vivi: Simplify the vivi driver and avoid deadlocks
vivi previously had a very complex queuing system and held spinlocks while
doing copy_to_user, kmalloc, etc. This caused the driver to easily deadlock
when a multi-threaded application used it and revealed bugs in videobuf too.
This replaces the copy_to_user with memcpy since we were never copying to user
space addresses. And makes the kmalloc atomic.
V4L/DVB (7489): videobuf-vmalloc.c: Remove buf_release from videobuf_vm_close
Remove the buf_release on vm_close because it will lead to a buffer being
released multiple times since all buffers are already freed under the two
possible cases: device close or STREAMOFF.
tuner-simple is the only module that uses tuner-types - these will be
merged to a single module in the future. For now, build both of them

V4L/DVB (7474): support key repeat with dib0700 ir receiver
This patch enables support for repeating last event when a key is holded
down with dib0700 devices. It works with rc5 and nec remotes.
It also fixes an annoying bug that floods kernel log with "Unknown key"
messages after each keypress. This happened because the driver was not
resetting infrared register after each poll so it kept polling last key
even if nothing was being pressed. Fixing this, (calling rc_setup after
each poll), permits to implement key repeat.
