[libcamera-devel] [RFC PATCH v2 0/7] Add IPA process isolation

[Paul Elder]

We need to be able to isolate untrusted IPA implementations into a
separate process. To achieve this, we use an IPA proxy, that acts like a
regular IPAInterface to the pipeline handler, but will initialize and
communicate with the real IPA module in a separate, isolated process.

Changes in v2:
- renamed Shim to Proxy
- build proxies into libcamera, and not into separate .so
- add Process and ProcessManager
- add license field to IPAModuleInfo (as opposed to a "please isolate me" flag)
- use IPCUnixSocket (it's only initialized for now)
- moved out some patches into their own series

Paul Elder (7):
  libcamera: ipa_module_info: add license field
  libcamera: process, process manager: create process and manager
    classes
  libcamera: add IPA proxy
  libcamera: proxy: add default linux proxy
  libcamera: ipa_manager: use proxy
  libcamera: ipa: add dummy IPA that needs to be isolated
  libcamera: ipa: meson: build dummy IPA that needs isolation
