This patch attempts to improve the handling of CBR streams with
respect to the short term buffering requirements. The "buffer level"
is changed to be an average over the rc buffer, rather than a long
running average. Overshoot is also tracked over the same interval
and the golden frame targets suppressed accordingly to correct for
overly aggressive boosting.
Testing shows that this is fairly consistently positive in one
metric or another -- some clips that show significant decreases
in quality have better buffering characteristics, others show
improvenents in both.

With this commit frames can be received partition-by-partition
from the encoder and passed partition-by-partition to the
decoder.
At the encoder-side this makes it easier to split encoded
frames at partition boundaries, useful when packetizing
frames. When VPX_CODEC_USE_OUTPUT_PARTITION is enabled,
several VPX_CODEC_CX_FRAME_PKT packets will be returned
from vpx_codec_get_cx_data(), containing one partition
each. The partition_id (starting at 0) specifies the decoding
order of the partitions. All partitions but the last has
the VPX_FRAME_IS_FRAGMENT flag set.
At the decoder this opens up the possibility of decoding partition
N even though partition N-1 was lost (given that independent
partitioning has been enabled in the encoder) if more info
about the missing parts of the stream is available through
external signaling.
Each partition is passed to the decoder through the
vpx_codec_decode() function, with the data pointer pointing
to the start of the partition, and with data_sz equal to the
size of the partition. Missing partitions can be signaled to
the decoder by setting data != NULL and data_sz = 0. When
all partitions have been given to the decoder "end of data"
should be signaled by calling vpx_codec_decode() with
data = NULL and data_sz = 0.
The first partition is the first partition according to the
VP8 bitstream + the uncompressed data chunk + DCT address
offsets if multiple residual partitions are used.

The current code stores pointers to coefficient tables and loads them to
access the tables contents. As these pointers are stored in the code
sections, it means we end up with text relocations. eu-findtextrel will
thus complain about code not compiled with -fpic/-fPIC.
Since the pointers are stored in the code sections, we can actually cheat
and let the assembler generate relative addressing when accessing the
coefficient tables, and just load their location with adr.

The existing emulation of posix semaphores on Windows uses SetEvent()
and WaitForSingleObject(), which implements a binary semaphore, not a
counting semaphore as implemented by posix. This causes deadlock when
used with the expected posix semantics. Instead, this patch uses the
CreateSemaphore() and ReleaseSemaphore() calls (introduced in Windows
2000) which have the expected behavior.
This patch also reverts commit eb16f00, which split a semaphore that
was being used with counting semantics into two binary semaphores.
That commit is unnecessary with corrected emulation.

CQ mode attempts to maintain a more stable quantizer within a clip
whilst also trying to adhere to a guidline maximum bitrate.
The existing target data rate parameter is used to specify the

A new parameter allows the user to specify a target CQ level.
For normal (non kf/gf/arf) frames, the quantizer will not drop BELOW the

choose to impose a target CQ that is above that specified by the user,
if it estimates that consistent use of the target value is not compatible
with guideline maximum bitrate.

Some of the ARM functions differed from their generic counterparts
only by unrolling their loops. Since this change may be useful
on other platforms, or might even supercede the looped version
in the generic case, move it back to the generic file.
This code is left under #if ARCH_ARM for now, but it may be worth

it turns out that this should be runtime selectable, these
functions will have to move to the RTCD infrastructure. Don't want

The primary goal is to allow a binary to be built which supports
NEON, but can fall back to non-NEON routines, since some Android
devices do not have NEON, even if they are otherwise ARMv7 (e.g.,
Tegra).
The configure-generated flags HAVE_ARMV7, etc., are used to decide
which versions of each function to build, and when
CONFIG_RUNTIME_CPU_DETECT is enabled, the correct version is chosen
at run time.
In order for this to work, the CFLAGS must be set to something
appropriate (e.g., without -mfpu=neon for ARMv7, and with
appropriate -march and -mcpu for even earlier configurations), or
the native C code will not be able to run.
The ASFLAGS must remain set for the most advanced instruction set
required at build time, since the ARM assembler will refuse to emit
them otherwise.
I have not attempted to make any changes to configure to do this
automatically.
Doing so will probably require the addition of new configure options.
Many of the hooks for RTCD on ARM were already there, but a lot of
the code had bit-rotted, and a good deal of the ARM-specific code
is not integrated into the RTCD structs at all.
I did not try to resolve the latter, merely to add the minimal amount
of protection around them to allow RTCD to work.
Those functions that were called based on an ifdef at the calling
site were expanded to check the RTCD flags at that site, but they
should be added to an RTCD struct somewhere in the future.
The functions invoked with global function pointers still are, but
these should be moved into an RTCD struct for thread safety (I
believe every platform currently supported has atomic pointer
stores, but this is not guaranteed).
The encoder's boolhuff functions did not even have _c and armv7
suffixes, and the correct version was resolved at link time.
The token packing functions did have appropriate suffixes, but the
version was selected with a define, with no associated RTCD struct.
However, for both of these, the only armv7 instruction they actually
used was rbit, and this was completely superfluous, so I reworked
them to avoid it.
The only non-ARMv4 instruction remaining in them is clz, which is
ARMv5 (not even ARMv5TE is required).
Considering that there are no ARM-specific configs which are not at
least ARMv5TE, I did not try to detect these at runtime, and simply
enable them for ARMv5 and above.
Finally, the NEON register saving code was completely non-reentrant,
since it saved the registers to a global, static variable.
I moved the storage for this onto the stack.
A single binary built with this code was tested on an ARM11 (ARMv6)
and a Cortex A8 (ARMv7 w/NEON), for both the encoder and decoder,
and produced identical output, while using the correct accelerated
functions on each.
I did not test on any earlier processors.

Most of the code that actually uses these matrices indexes them as
if they were a single contiguous array, and coverity produces
reports about the resulting accesses that overflow the static
bounds of the first row.
This is perfectly legal in C, but converting them to actual [16]
arrays should eliminate the report, and removes a good deal of
extraneous indexing and address operators from the code.

Raised by Lei Yang, the Y plane stride was used for UV blocks.
This is clearly a typo. But as the comments in the code suggested
that this port of code has not been used yet, so the typo should
not have created any damage yet.

Loopfilter deltas are initialized to zero on keyframes in the decoder.
The values then persist from the previous frame unless an update bit
is set in the bitstream. This data is not included in the entropy
data saved by the 'refresh entropy' bit in the bitstream, so it is
effectively an additional contextual element beyond the 3 ref-frames
and the entropy data.
The encoder was treating this delta update bit as update-if-nonzero,
meaning that the value would be refreshed even if it hadn't changed,
and more significantly, if the correct value for the delta changed
to zero, the update wouldn't be sent, and the decoder would preserve
the last (presumably non-zero) value.
This patch updates the encoder to send an update only if the value
has changed from the previously transmitted value. It also forces the
value to be transmitted in error resilient mode, to account for lost
context in the event of lost frames.

The existing code applied a 6-tap filter with 0's on either end.
We're already paying the branch penalty to avoid computing the two
extra columns needed as input to this filter.
We might as well save time computing the filter as well.
This reduces the inner loop from 21 instructions to 16, the number
of loads per iteration from 4 to 1, and the number of multiplies
from 7 to 4.
The gain in overall decoding performance, however, is small (less
than 1%).
This change also means we now valgrind clean on ARMv6, which is
its real purpose.
The errors reported here were valgrind's fault (it does not detect
that 0 times an uninitialized value is initialized), but Julian
Seward says it would slow down valgrind considerably to make such
checks.
Speeding up libvpx rather, even by a small amount, seems a much
better idea if only to enable proper valgrind checking of the
rest of the codec.

Moved partition_bmi and partition_count out of MB_MODE_INFO and
placed into MACROBLOCK. Also reduced the size of other members
of the MB_MODE_INFO struct. For 1080p, the memory was reduced

Remove the dependency on postproc.c for the encoder in general, the only

are already wrapped in CONFIG_POSTPROC. In the CONFIG_PSNR case the file

Additionally, when VP8_SET_POSTPROC is used with the encoder when post
processing has been disabled an error will be returned.

Clang defaults to C99 mode, and inline works differently in C99.
(gcc, on the other hand, defaults to a special gnu-style inlining,
which uses different syntax.) Making the functions static makes sure
clang doesn't decide to discard a function because it's too large to
inline.

At the end of the decode, frame buffers were being copied.
The frames are not updated after the copy, they are just
for reference on later frames. This change allows multiple
references to the same frame buffer instead of copying it.
Changes needed to be made to the encoder to handle this. The
encoder is still doing frame buffer copies in similar places
where pointer reference could be done.

If the version script produced by the libvpx build system is not
used when linking a shared library on x86-64 Linux, the constant
data in the subpel filters produces R_X86_64_32 relocation errors
due to the use of wrt rip addressing instead of
wrt rip wrt ..gotpcrel.
Instead of adding a new macro for this addressing mode, this patch
sets the ELF visibility of these symbols to "hidden", which
allows wrt rip addressing to work without a text relocation.
This allows building a shared library without using the provided
build system or a separate version script.

Change bitreading functions to use a larger window which is refilled less
often.
This makes it cheap enough to do bounds checking each time the window is
refilled, which avoids the need to copy the input into a large circular
buffer.
This uses less memory and speeds up the total decode time by 1.6% on an ARM11,
2.8% on a Cortex A8, and 2.2% on x86-32, but less than 1% on x86-64.
Inlining vp8dx_bool_decoder_fill() has a big penalty on x86-32, as does moving
the refill loop to the front of vp8dx_decode_bool().
However, having the refill loop between computation of the split values and
the branch in vp8_decode_mb_tokens() is a big win on ARM (presumably due to
memory latency and code size: refilling after normalization duplicates the
code in the DECODE_AND_BRANCH_IF_ZERO and DECODE_AND_LOOP_IF_ZERO cases.
Unfortunately, refilling at the end of vp8dx_bool_decoder_fill() and at the
beginning of each decode step in vp8_decode_mb_tokens() means the latter
requires an extra refill at the end.
Platform-specific versions could avoid the problem, but would require most of
detokenize.c to be duplicated.

This patch removes the secondary MV clamping from the MV decoder. This
behavior was consistent with limits placed on non-split MVs by the
reference encoder, but was inconsistent with the MVs generated in the
split case.
The purpose of this secondary clamping was only to prevent crashes on
invalid data. It was not intended to be a behaviour an encoder could or
should rely on. Instead of doing additional clamping in a way that
changes the entropy context, the secondary clamp is removed and the
border handling is made implmentation specific. With respect to the
spec, the border is treated as essentially infinite, limited only by
the clamping performed on the near/nearest reference and the maximum
encodable magnitude of the residual MV.
This does not affect any currently produced streams.
