It's built based on current spatial svc code.
We only support one spatial two temporal layers at this time.

We had a very complicated way to initialize cpi->pass from
cfg->g_pass:
switch (cfg->g_pass) {
case VPX_RC_ONE_PASS:
oxcf->mode = ONE_PASS_GOOD;
break;
case VPX_RC_FIRST_PASS:
oxcf->mode = TWO_PASS_FIRST;
break;
case VPX_RC_LAST_PASS:
oxcf->mode = TWO_PASS_SECOND_BEST;
break;
}
cpi->pass = get_pass(oxcf->mode).
Now pass is moved to VP9EncoderConfig and initialization is simple:
switch (cfg->g_pass) {
case VPX_RC_ONE_PASS:
oxcf->pass = 0;
break;
case VPX_RC_FIRST_PASS:
oxcf->pass = 1;
break;
case VPX_RC_LAST_PASS:
oxcf->pass = 2;
break;
}

1. Remove last reference flag for first frame upper layers in one pass mode.
2. Disable refresh golden frame flag for key frames.

All changes are for spatial svc only.
1. Enable encoding hidden frames in each layer and use alt reference idex to reference the hidden frame in each layer
2. Use golden reference idx for spatial reference
3. For those layers that don't have hidden frames (caused by lack of frame buffers), reference a hidden frame in lower layers
4. Add "auto-alt-refs" in svc options

Add indirection to the section of buffer indices.
This is to help simplify things in the future if we
have other codec features that switch indices.
Limit the max GF interval for static sections to fit
the gf_group structures.

This patch implements a mechanism for inserting a second
arf at the mid position of arf groups.
It is currently disabled by default using the flag multi_arf_enabled.
Results are currently down somewhat in initial testing if
multi-arf is enabled. Most of the loss is attributable to the
fact that code to preserve the previous golden frame
(in the arf buffer) in cases where we are coding an overlay
frame, is currently disabled in the multi-arf case.

If we are already saving a lot in bits from the target (maximum)
bitrate in the constrained quality mode, allow the quantizer
to go lower than the cq level. This hopefully will solve issues
with getting too low a bitrate and consequently poor quality for
certain videos in cq mode.

Allow slightly larger minq-maxq range for P frames. This improves
the compression performance of speed -5 for rtc set by 2.7% in psnr.

tx_mode supercedes whatever mechanism is used to push for 16x16
allowing for the use of the 4x4 transform.

Merged minq tables for arf and gf cases.
These tables were almost the same and for
VBR the arf table was not used at all.
Change-Id: Ie3c87e91dab613cf06f6945ac1ace0e0e4213d34
Small adjustment to the active Q range calculations.
These changes should slightly extend the available Q range
for KF/GF/ARF and narrow it for other frames.
The results for this change in isolation are broadly positive
for SSIM and average PSNR and slightly up but mixed for opsnr.
derf +0.293% opsnr, +1.286% SSIM
std-hd + 0.528% opsnr, + 1.746% SSIM
yt +0.056% opsnr, +0.457% SSIM
yt-hd -0.147% opsnr, + 0.226% SSIM

This member of VP9_COMP seemed unnecessary since it
only shadowed VP9EncoderConfig.key_freq that is
accessible through VP9_COMP.

The end_useage parameter is confusingly named since it
now actually defines the rate control method used.

To make direct side by side testing this patch combines two
VBR corrections schemes to allow more direct side by side testing.
(The other patch was by Debargha chg id I0cd1f7...)

Add code to monitor over and under spend and
apply limited correction to the data rate of subsequent
frames. To prevent the problem of starvation or overspend
on individual frames (especially near the end of a clip) the
maximum adjustment on a single frame is limited to a %
of its un-modified allocation.
Change-Id: I6e1ca035ab8afb0c98eac4392115d0752d9cbd7f
Fix rate control bug whereby the rate factor heuristics
were being updated on arf overlays causing a rate surge
for a few frames followed by a corrective drop.
This fix eliminates many of the overshoot problems that
we were seeing on hard clips (even without applying
stricter vbr rate control) and also helps quality on
almost all clips with some hard clips improving by >5%.
Overall quality results measured at speed 2.
Derf +1.78% opsnr , +2.44% SSIM
Stdhd +2.41% opsnr, +2.85% SSIM

This increases the range of Q values available to
normal inter frames to allow encoder a better chance
to hit the target rate.

The limits applied under the flag
"LIMIT_QRANGE_FOR_ALTREF_AND_KEY"
behaved in an undesirable way if the gap between
active_worst_quality and active_best_quality was
changed.
In this patch, the adjustment is made using the
vp9_compute_qdelta_by_rate() function and fixed
rate multiplier values. Hence it is not impacted by
the relative value of active_best_quality.

ARF overlays now use the same rate correction factor as regular inter
frames, further testing would be needed to see if it makes sense to use
a completely separate rate correction factor for ARF overlays.

in the way the bits are updated, to make 2-pass rate control track
target bitrates closer.

This commit reduces the frequency of frames using finer quantizer
in non-RD coding flow, and slightly tune up the quantizer resolution
when used. It provides 1.7% compression gains in speed -5 at no speed
difference.

The new tolerance is a little higher than before (especially
for kf/gf/arf) so this change gives an encode speed up
for some clips up for speeds 0-2.

This code/setting was actually not used (since speed features were not set on first frame,
until a recent change) and should be removed.
In CBR mode, the q value for the first frame can be controlled by setting
the target size via the parameters rc_buf_initial_sz (and max_intra_size_pct).
Change-Id: I65afc64972b36c449bd5a8c25800e65da5389066
Use a crude correction factor to correct for
lower compression efficiency at higher encode
speeds when estimating the max Q for the
clip.

This commit optimizes the bit allocation for the non-RD coding flow.
It applies slightly better quantizer to the frames, where all blocks
run a non-RD partition search. Such frames typically have better
rate-distortion trade off, thus improving the reconstruction quality
for next few frames reference at reasonably low increment in rate
cost.
The coding performance for rtc set at speed -5 with error-resilient
tuned on and rate control set as cbr is improved by 19.58%. It improved
the coding speed by about 10% for a portion of local test clips.
