The checks were removed inadvertedly in previous patch and not replaced.
Re-introduce the configure checks and some of the checks in order to enable
this plugin again. We only check if videodev2.h exist on the platform to
avoid building on Windows or OSX, though we build against our own copy. This
was breaking the build on built-bot.
With years the amount of ifdef have grown up and we are not even sure if the
old code path compiles. Each time we need to update the v4l2 framework to add
the new feature, we break compilation on older kernel. With exception of two
controls in the video orientation control, this patch get rid of all ifdef by
including the latest version of videodev2.h inside GStreamer.

V4L2 kernel drivers allow configuration of the hardware settings via a
mechanism called controls. These can be referred to by name such as
"Brightness" and "White Balance Temperature". The user-space command line
client for setting these controls (v4l2-ctl) normalises these names such
that they only contain lower case alphanumeric characters and the
underscore '_'. e.g:
Kernel v4l2-ctl
----------------------------------------------------
Brightness brightness
White Balance Temperature white_balance_temperature
Focus (absolute) focus_absolute
GStreamer seems to want to follow this pattern but failed for controls with
more than one consecutive non-alphanum character. e.g. GStreamer would
produce "focus__absolute_" rather than "focus_absolute".
This commit fixes that issue. Backwards compatibility is preserved by
normalising all control names before comparison.

We correctly indicate the field ordering on interlaced buffers, but fail to
flag them as containing interlaced video, which we need to do here because
we signal interlace-mode=mixed in our caps. This means that downstream
elements (like vaapipostproc from gstreamer-vaapi) don't recognise these
buffers as in need of deinterlacing.
Fix this by setting the interlaced flag on all interlaced buffers.

This may not be defined. Since the previous version used
only the other define (V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT_MPLANE), fall
back on this only when not available.
Don't enforce having width, height and framerate in template caps for encoded

STREAMOFF set all v4l2buffers to DEQUEUE state.
Then for CAPTURE we call QBUF on each buffer.

But the loop actually looks like the same.

This api is in linux kernel since version 2.6.39,
and present in all version 3.
The commit that adds the API in master branch of the
linux kernel source is:
f8f3914cf9
v4l2 doc: "Some devices require data for each input
or output video frame to be placed in discontiguous
memory buffers"
There are newer structures 'struct v4l2_pix_format_mplane'
and 'struct v4l2_plane'.
So the pixel format is not setup with the same API when using
multi-planar.
Also for gst-v4l2, one of the difference is that in GstV4l2Meta
there are now one mem pointer for each maped plane.
When not using multi-planar, this commit takes care of keeping
the same code path than previously. So that the 2 cases are
in two different blocks triggered from V4L2_TYPE_IS_MULTIPLANAR.

If the pool is stopped while gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_dqbuf() waits for a

When setting timestamps on outgoing buffers, clear the
dts explicitly, otherwise it may end up being set to a

As cameras tend to have a quite specific set of capabilities (specific
framerates for each resolution), getting the peer caps filtered by our
probed caps can cause a big increase in the caps size which slows down
things quire a bit.
As for negotiation v4l2 iterates through the caps of the peer to find the
first intersection with the probed caps, getting the fully expanded
intersection of capabilities is not useful.
Using the same testcase as for bug #702632, adding this patch on top of
the patches suggested there speeds up getting the inital frame from
around ~14-15 seconds to around ~3-4 seconds.

Iterating over CIDs starting with V4L2_CID_BASE will only find controls for

By iterating with V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL all controls are found.
This is necessary to make controls from other control classes available in
the extra-controls property.
If V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL is not defined at compile time or not supported
at runtime then the old mechanism for iterating is used.

Without this the following sequence fails:
- set_caps()
- object_stop() (does nothing)
- set_format() -> VIDIOC_S_FMT
- set_config() -> VIDIOC_REQBUFS with count = N
- set_caps()
- object_stop()
- pool_finalize()
- set_format() -> VIDIOC_S_FMT => EBUSY
Usually the pool is started after set_config(), in which case object_stop()
will result in a pool_stop and therefore VIDIOC_REQBUFS with count = 0 but
that is not guaranteed.
Also calling VIDIOC_REQBUFS with count = 0 in pool_finalize() if necessary
fixes this problem.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701543
This is a followup patch for #700781, which is not quite correct.
The buffer handling is quite complicated here.
The original code intended to the the following:
- gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_process() calls QBUF and adds the buffer to the
local list.
- The sink calls gst_buffer_unref() which returns the buffer to the pool
but not the 'free list'.
- Some time later DQBUF returns the buffer and
gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_release_buffer() puts in on the 'free list'.
If the buffer must be copied then (parent_class)->acquire_buffer() is
called directly to keep the buffer in the pool.
This has two problems:
1. If gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_release_buffer() is called before the buffer is
returned to the pool, then the buffer is put on the 'free list' twice.
This can happen if a reference to the buffer is kept outside the sink,
of if DQBUF returns the buffer, that was just queued with QBUF.
2. If buffers are copied, then all buffers are in the pool at all times. As
a result gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_stop() and gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_dqbuf()
can access pool->buffers at the same time, which can lead to memory
corruption.
The patch for #700781 fixes those problems, but with the side effect that
there are always buffers outside the pool (because they are queued) and
the pool is never stopped.
This patch fixes this by releasing the reference to the buffer after
handling it (to avoid problem 2.) so it can be returned to the pool.
gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_release_buffer() is only called if the buffer is
already in the pool (to avoid problem 1.).
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701375

Without this, a queued buffer may be required, filled and queued before it
is dequeued.
Calling gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer() ensures that the buffer is set up
correctly and gst_buffer_unref() calls buffer_release().

If max_buffers is 0 then an arbitrary number of buffers (currently 4) is

Block gst_osx_video_sink_run_cocoa_loop until the loop thread has started and
finished initializing NSApp. Fixes occasional warnings/crashes due to two
threads going inside NSApp before finishLaunching had completed.
When we are using a dedicated thread to run the main run loop we
must make sure that all selectors are performed on this same thread.
For instance if performSelectorOnMainThread is called from the real
main thread, it will not go through the message queue and will be
executed from the real main thread. By forcing the target thread,
we ensure that all functions will be called either from the real
main thread when the main run loop is running or from our thread
spinning the main loop.
Add a little hack to run the cocoa main runloop from a separate thread _when_
the main runloop is not being run (which means that the app doesn't use cocoa).
Runloops are thread specific, so the hack boils down to getting the runloop for
the main thread and setting it as the runloop for our dedicated thread.

When we are can not allocate the requested max_buffers amount of buffers, make
sure we keep 2 buffers around in the pool and copy them into an output buffer.
This makes sure that we always have a buffer to capture into. We also need to
detect those copied buffers and unref them when they return to the pool.
Only free the queued buffers that we keep track of in our buffer array. for rw
io-mode, we do allocate buffers but we don't keep track of them in the buffer

The base class may have set the DISCONT flag on the first buffer pushed

Make sure we always call munmap() with the same size we called mmap()
with before.
Current v4l2src uses the same structure for VIDIOC_QUERYBUF, VIDIOC_QBUF
and v4l2_munmap calls. The problem is that the video buffer size (length)
may vary for compressed or emulated bufs. VIDIOC_QBUF will change it if
we pass the pointer of a v4l2_buffer. This is why we should avoid using
same variable for mmap and video buffers.
