residual generation and the rate-distortion modeling. It saves one
call for model_rd_for_sb.

The value of switchable rate has been stored in a local variable.
This change skips the second call to vp9_get_switchable_rate() by
reusing the local variable.

This commit makes the rate distortion modeling run in the unit of
maximum transform block size. No compression/speed change observed.
It is for the use of later fast forward transform purpose.

This commit addes a new strategy to reduce the search for optimal
interpolation filter type. The encoder counts and store how many each
filter type is selected and used for each of the reference frames.
A filter type that is rarely used for all three reference frames is
masked out to avoid computation.
The impact on compression is neglectible:
-0.02% on derf
+0.02% on stdhd
Encoding time is seen to reduce by 2~3%.

In the full-rd transform size search, we go through all transform
sizes to choose the one with best rd score. In this patch, an
early termination is added to stop the search once we see that the
smaller size won't give better rd score than the larger size. Also,
the search starts from largest transform size, then goes down to
smallest size.
A speed feature tx_size_search_breakout is added, which is turned off
at speed 0, and on for other speeds. The transform size search is
turned on at speed 1.
Borg test results:
1. At speed 1,
derf set: psnr gain: 0.618%, ssim gain: 0.377%;
stdhd set: psnr gain: 0.594%, ssim gain: 0.162%;
No noticeable speed change.
3. At speed 2,
derf set: psnr loss: 0.157%, ssim loss: 0.175%;
stdhd set: psnr loss: 0.090%, ssim loss: 0.101%;
speed gain: ~4%.

This commit enables the encoder to record the location of the
center frame to generate alter reference frame. It then allows to
skip checking prediction modes of other reference frame types when
it comes to encode this frame.
The speed 3 runtime is reduced for the test sequences:
bus at CIF 1000 kbps, 9791 ms -> 9446 ms, i.e., 3.5% speed-up,
pedestrian at 1080p 2000 kbps, 184043 ms -> 175730 ms, i.e., 4.5%
speed-up.
No compression performance change observed.

This commit enables the encoder to skip NEARMV and ZEROMV if the
above and left blocks have identical reference frame, and the
current reference is different from that. It reduces the runtime
of speed 3 for test sequences:
bus cif at 1000 kbps 10064 ms -> 9823 ms
pedestrian 1080p at 2000 kbps 193078 ms -> 189559 ms

stdhd -0.103%

This commit allows the encoder to check the above and left neighbor
blocks' reference frames and motion vectors. If they are all
consistent, skip checking the NEARMV and ZEROMV modes. This is
enabled in speed 3. The coding performance is improved:
pedestrian area 1080p at 2000 kbps,
from 74773 b/f, 41.101 dB, 198064 ms
to 74795 b/f, 41.099 dB, 193078 ms

from 290727 b/f, 30.640 dB, 609113 ms
to 290558 b/f, 30.630 dB, 592815 ms

This commit extends the chessboard pattern prediction filter search.
If the above and left blocks have the same prediction filter type,
the encoder will skip the prediction filter type search and use the
reference one.
The overall chessboard pattern prediction filter type search reduces
speed 3 runtime for hard clips. Experiments on park joy at 1080p
and 15000 kbps show that the runtime goes from 723265 ms to 65832 ms,
i.e., about 10% speed-up. Compression performance wise, it affects
the coding quality by

This commit enables a chessboard pattern prediction filter type
search scheme for rate-distortion optimization speed-up. For the
inferred motion vector modes, the encoder can re-use its above/left
neighbor blocks' prediction filter type and skip a full test on
all possible filter types. Such operation is turned on/off
alternatively in a chessboard manner.
It is turned on in speed 3. For test clip pedestrian 1080p, the
runtime is reduced from 231500 ms -> 221700 ms. The compression
performance is changed:
derf: -0.147%
yt: -0.134%
hd: -0.079%
stdhd: -0.220%

Moved the threshold adjustment before reference flag checking,
which could set the threshold to INT_MAX for disabled reference

The current threshold is knid of low, and in many cases NEWMV
mode is checked but not picked as the best mode. This patch
added a speed feature to increase NEWMV threshold, so that
less partition mode checking goes to check NEWMV. This feature
is enabled for speed 6 and 7.
Rtc set borg tests showed:
1. Speed 6, overall psnr: -0.088%, ssim: -1.339%;
Average speedup on rtc set is 11.1%.
2. Speed 7, overall psnr: -0.505%, ssim: -2.320%
Average speedup on rtc set is 12.9%.

This commit allows the key frame to search through more prediction

This breaks the profile 1 bitstream.
Don't force non420 uv transform size to 1/4 y size. In the 4:2:0 case the
chroma corresponding to a luma block is 1/4 its size. In the 4:4:4 case
chroma and luma planes are the same size. Disallowing larger transforms
can result in a loss of compression efficiency and is inconsistent.
For sub-8x8 blocks only average corresponding motion vectors.
4:2:0 and profile 0 behavior remains unchanged.

SEG_LEVEL_SKIP requires the block size to be at least 8x8. Attempting to

As a side-effect, the max_sad check is removed from the
C-implementation of VP8, for consistency with VP9, and to
ensure that the SAD tests common to VP8/VP9 pass.
That will make the VP8 C implementation of sad a little slower
but given that is rarely used in practice, the impact will be
minimal.

When ARNR filtering is disabled, by setting
arnr_max_frames=0, mode_skip_mask was being set to
-1 for the ARF frame resulting in no mode being
selected for the block.
The intent is to restrict the reference frame to the
previous ARF frame and the mode to one of ZEROMV,
NEARMV or NEARESTMV.

In mode selection loop, once mode_index pass mode_skip_start, all
modes with a different reference frame from current best mode are
masked out using mode_skip_mask.
However, the setting of mode_skip_mask may use an invalid mode if
there is no mode tested yet. This commit fixes the issue by making
sure a mode has been tested and selected. Otherwise, no mode will be
masked out because of their reference frame.
