Some clips in nightly unit test exhibiting significant encoder slowdown which
appears to bisect to Change-Id: I692311a709ccdb6003e705103de9d05b59bf840a.
The above change allowed for emergency iterations of the recode loop and
adjustment of the Q range if there is a large rate miss.
This patch disables the above adaptation for cases of cpu_speed >= 3 or more
specifically where cpi->sf.recode_loop >= ALLOW_RECODE_KFARFGF.
For speeds >= 3 the code does not currently run a dummy bit pack operation
inside the recode loop. Without this dummy pack operation there is no up to
date estimate of the current frame's size to use as a basis for assessing the
requirement for a recode. In practice it was using the previous frames size (or 0
for the first frame) which could cause odd behavior.
If we require the emergency rate correction added in Change-Id: I6923.. for
the higher speed settings it will be necessary to enable the dummy pack
which will in turn hurt encode speed.

Originally, for the purpose of keeping a fast first pass, the first-pass
stats between row_mt_mode = 0 and row_mt_mode = 1 are not bit exact, but
that difference is very small that doesn't cause a mismatch between the
final bitstreams. However, if the encoder changes, this minor difference
may cause a mismatch. Thus, this patch always forces the first pass to
be bit exact.

For fixed pattern SVC: keep track of denoised last_frame buffer
for base temporal layer, and if alt_ref is updated on middle/upper
temporal layers, force an update to denoised last_frame buffer.
This allows for improved denoising on top temporal layers.

This code is unused in vp9. Only vp8 still contains references to

This patch attempts to address a bug reported for 4K video.
https://b.corp.google.com/issues/62215394
In this instance a perfect storm of a moderate complexity section
followed by a much easier section where a CGI overlay helped to
suppress film grain noise, followed by a much harder and very grainy
section at the end, cause a massive local rate spike that pushed a chunk
over the upper allowed rate limit.
This patch detects cases where the rate for a frame is much higher than
expected and allows, in this special case, for rapid adjustment of the active
Q range.
For the example chunk in the bug report the target rate was 18Mb/s and the
observed rate was over 37 Mb/s with a surge for the last few frames to over
100Mb/s. This patch brings the overall chunk rate right back down to ~18.2 Mbit/s
and almost completely eliminates the rate spike at the end. (See graphs appended
to bug report)
Also see I108da7ca42f3bc95c5825dd33c9d84583227dac1 which fixes a bug
unearthed during testing of this patch and also has a bearing on high rate
encodes such as 4K.
This patch does have a negative impact on some metrics. Most notably there are
clips in our standard test set where it hurts global psnr (though in many cases it
conversely helps SSIM, FAST SSIM and PSNR-HVS). It is also worth noting that
the clips (and data rates) where there is a big metric impact, are almost all cases
where there is currently a significant overshoot vs the target rate and overall rate
accuracy is greatly improved.

This patch followed allow_exhaustive_searches feature modification and
continued to modify the encoder to achieve the determinism in the row
based multi-threaded encoding. While row-mt = 1 and using multiple
threads, the adaptive feature in encoder was disabled, which gave
BDRate gain(at speed 1, -0.6% ~ -0.7%; at speed 2, -0.46% ~ -0.59%),
but some encoder speed losses(7% ~ 10% at speed 1 and 3% ~ 6% at
speed 2). These speed losses were acceptable considering the speed
gains obtained from row-mt.
