This is why we copy the input buffer into standard\n(cached) memory. This is an unnecessary overhead on platforms with\ncached buffers.\n\nLet's make input buffer copying configurable. The default is still\ncopying, as it's overhead is much lower than contingent operations on\nnon-cached memory. Ideally, we should improve this in future to set the\ndefault to non-copying if we can be sure under observable circumstances\nthat we are working with cached buffers.\n\nCompletes software ISP TODO #6.\n\nSigned-off-by: Milan Zamazal <mzamazal@redhat.com>\n---\n Documentation/runtime_configuration.rst | 2 ++\n src/libcamera/software_isp/TODO | 11 -----------\n src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_cpu.cpp | 7 +++++--\n src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_cpu.h | 3 ++-\n src/libcamera/software_isp/software_isp.cpp | 3 ++-\n 5 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-)", "diff": "diff --git a/Documentation/runtime_configuration.rst b/Documentation/runtime_configuration.rst\nindex 911203db5..33d203939 100644\n--- a/Documentation/runtime_configuration.rst\n+++ b/Documentation/runtime_configuration.rst\n@@ -51,6 +51,7 @@ file structure:\n pipeline_handler:\n ...\n simple:\n+ copy_input_buffer: # true/false\n supported_devices:\n - driver: # driver name, e.g. `mxc-isi`\n software_isp: # true/false\n@@ -82,6 +83,7 @@ Configuration file example\n min_unicam_buffers: 2\n min_total_unicam_buffers: 2\n simple:\n+ copy_input_buffer: false\n supported_devices:\n - driver: mxc-isi\n software_isp: true\ndiff --git a/src/libcamera/software_isp/TODO b/src/libcamera/software_isp/TODO\nindex a50db668e..2c919f442 100644\n--- a/src/libcamera/software_isp/TODO\n+++ b/src/libcamera/software_isp/TODO\n@@ -71,17 +71,6 @@ per-frame buffers like we do for hardware ISPs.\n \n ---\n \n-6.
