They\nsit between the application and the Camera, and hook into a subset of\nthe Camera calls. This allows things that don't belong inside a\nCamera/IPA nor inside an application to be implemented, such as the Sync\nalgorithm. As a light demonstration of the capabilities of Layers, this\nseries implements a Layer that intercepts all control-related calls to\nimplement the AeEnable control transparently.\n\nPatches 1~3 are refactoring and reorganizing existing code. Patch 4\nimplements the LayerManager, which is the main component. Patch 5\nconnects the Camera to the layer infrastructure. Finally patches 6~7\nimplement a simple layer that implements the AeEnable control, to\ndemonstrate how a Layer might work.\n\nPaul Elder (7):\n libcamera: ipa_manager: Factor out .so file searching\n libcamera: ipa_module: Factor out ELF file handling\n libcamera: camera: Add indirection to Camera signal emissions\n libcamera: layer_manager: Add LayerManager implementation\n libcamera: camera: Hook into the LayerManager\n layer: Add layer to inject AeEnable control\n camera, ipa: all: Remove AeEnable handling\n\n include/libcamera/internal/camera.h | 8 +\n include/libcamera/internal/ipa_manager.h | 4 -\n include/libcamera/internal/layer_manager.h | 74 +++++\n include/libcamera/internal/meson.build | 2 +\n include/libcamera/internal/utils.h | 32 ++\n include/libcamera/layer.h | 56 ++++\n include/libcamera/meson.build | 1 +\n src/ipa/mali-c55/algorithms/agc.cpp | 1 +\n src/ipa/rkisp1/algorithms/agc.cpp | 2 -\n src/ipa/rpi/common/ipa_base.cpp | 2 -\n src/layer/inject_controls/inject_controls.cpp | 164 +++++++++\n src/layer/inject_controls/inject_controls.h | 29 ++\n src/layer/inject_controls/meson.build | 15 +\n src/layer/meson.build | 12 +\n src/libcamera/camera.cpp | 66 ++--\n src/libcamera/ipa_manager.cpp | 108 ++----\n src/libcamera/ipa_module.cpp | 152 +--------\n src/libcamera/layer_manager.cpp | 314 ++++++++++++++++++\n src/libcamera/meson.build | 2 +\n src/libcamera/pipeline/uvcvideo/uvcvideo.cpp | 5 -\n src/libcamera/pipeline_handler.cpp | 2 +-\n src/libcamera/request.cpp | 2 +-\n src/libcamera/utils.cpp | 264 +++++++++++++++\n src/meson.build | 1 +\n 24 files changed, 1042 insertions(+), 276 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 include/libcamera/internal/layer_manager.h\n create mode 100644 include/libcamera/internal/utils.h\n create mode 100644 include/libcamera/layer.h\n create mode 100644 src/layer/inject_controls/inject_controls.cpp\n create mode 100644 src/layer/inject_controls/inject_controls.h\n create mode 100644 src/layer/inject_controls/meson.build\n create mode 100644 src/layer/meson.build\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/layer_manager.cpp\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/utils.cpp"}
