da227b901d Allocate source buffers to be multiples of 16
Currently, when the video frame width is not multiples of 16, the
source buffer has a stride of non-multiples of 16, which forces
an unaligned load in SAD function and hurts the performance. To
avoid that, this change allocates source buffers to be multiples
of 16.

41e6eceb28 Improve motion search in real-time mode
Applied better MV prediction in real-time mode, which improves
the encoding quality.

Used quarter-pixel search instead of iterative sub-pixel search
for speed >=5 to improve encoding performance.

Tests on the test set showed:
1. For speed=-5, quality improvement: 1.7% on AvgPSNR and 2.1%
on SSIM, performance improvement: 3.6% (This counts in the
performance lose caused by MV prediction calculation in "Improve
MV prediction in vp8_pick_inter_mode() for speed>3").
2. For speed=-8, quality improvement: 2.1% on AvgPSNR and 2.5%
on SSIM. but, 6.9% performance decrease because of MV prediction
calculation. This should be improved later.

63fc44dfa5 correct quantizer initialization
The encoder was not correctly catching transitions in the quantizer
deltas. If a delta_q was set, then the quantizer would be reinitialized
on every frame, but if they transitioned to 0, the quantizer would
not be reinitialized, leading to a encode-decode mismatch.

This bug was triggered by commit 999e155, which sets a Y2 delta Q
for very low base Q levels.

e5904f2d5e Delay auto key frame insertion in realtime configuration
Whe auto keyframe insertion is enabled and conditions are right (scene change)
the encoder can decide to insert a key frame and does a re-encoding. This can
introduce extra latency. In RT mode we do not do the re-encoding of the current
frame but force the next frame to key frame.

999e155f55 cap the best quantizer for 2nd order DC
This commit also removes artificial RDMULT cap for low quantizers.
The intention is to address some abnormal behavior of mode selections
at the low quantizer end, where many macroblocks were coded with
SPLITMV with all partitions using same motion vector including (0,0).
This change improves the compression quality substantially for high
quality encodings in both PSNR and SSIM terms. Overall effect on
mid/low rate range is also positive for all metrics, but smaller
in magnitude.

Experimental change to try and match the reconstruction
error for forced key frames approximately to that of the
previous frame by means of the recode loop. Though this
may cause extra recodes and the recode behavior has not
been optimized, it can only happen on forced key frames.

e0846c9c8c CQ Mode
The merge includes hooks to for CQ mode and other code
changes merged from the test branch.

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
guideline maximum bitrate.

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
user specified value (0-63). However, in some cases the encoder may
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.

the declaration for vp8_cx_temp_filter_c was moved to onyx_if.c because
of a circular dependency. for rtcd, temporal_filter.h holds the

however, onyx_int.h holds the definition for VP8_COMP which is needed

cec6a596b5 Change to inter_minq table.
The inter_minq table controls the range of quantizers available
for a particular frame in two pass relative to a max Q value.

The changes reduces the range somewhat. The effect of this
was a small increase (0.3% average) in psnr for the test set
but it should also help encode speed somewhat for higher
quality modes as it will reduce the number of iterations in the
recode loop.

The change damps the range of quantizers available locally
within a section of a clip and should therefore help keep quality
more uniform. If there is systematic overshoot or undershoot the
range can shift gradually to accommodate. However, there is
some increased risk of overshoot or undershoot against the target
bit rate in VBR mode and this risk will be more pronounced for short
clips.

to be scaled, which results in the quantized result exceeding the range
of the DCT. This patch restores the previous behavior of using the
non-shifted coefficients when in the fast quantizer code path, but
unfortunately requires rebuilding the tables when switching between the
two.

6adbe09058 Tuning for the more exact quantizer.
Small changes to the default zero bin and rounding tables.
Though the tables are currently the same for the Y1 and Y2 cases
I have left them as separate tables in case we want to tune this later.

There is now some adjustment of the zbin based on the prediction mode.
Previously this was restricted to an adjustment for gf/arf 0,0 MV.

The exact quantizer now marginal outperforms and is the default.

The overall average gain is about 0.5%

f7e187d362 improve average framerate calculation
Change Ice204e86 identified a problem with bitrate undershoot due to
low precision in the timestamps passed to the library. This patch
takes a different approach by calculating the duration of this frame
and passing it to the library, rather than using a fixed duration
and letting the library average it out with higher precision
timestamps. This part of the fix only applies to vpxenc.

This patch also attempts to fix the problem for generic applications
that may have made the same mistake vpxenc did. Instead of
calculating this frame's duration by the difference of this frame's
and the last frame's start time, we use the end times instead. This
allows the framerate calculation to scavenge "unclaimed" time from
the last frame. For instance:

  start |  end  | calculated duration
  ======+=======+====================
    0ms    33ms   33ms
   33ms    66ms   33ms

209d82ad72 Add half-pixel variance RTCD functions
NEON has optimized 16x16 half-pixel variance functions, but they
were not part of the RTCD framework. Add these functions to RTCD,
so that other platforms can make use of this optimization in the
future and special-case ARM code can be removed.

A number of functions were taking two variance functions as
parameters. These functions were changed to take a single
parameter, a pointer to a struct containing all the variance
functions for that block size. This provides additional flexibility
for calling additional variance functions (the half-pixel special
case, for example) and by initializing the table for all block sizes,
we don't have to construct this function pointer table for each
macroblock.

b71962fdc9 Add runtime CPU detection support for ARM.
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.

bb7dd5b1ba Move firstpass motion map to stats packet
The first implementation of the firstpass motion map for motion
compensated temporal filtering created a file, fpmotionmap.stt,
in the current working directory. This was not safe for multiple
encoder instances. This patch merges this data into the first pass
stats packet interface, so that it is handled like the other
(numerical) firstpass stats.

The new stats packet is defined as follows:
    Numerical Stats (16 doubles) -- 128 bytes
    Motion Map                   -- 1 byte / Macroblock
    Padding                      -- to align packet to 8 bytes

The fpmotionmap.stt file can still be generated for debugging
purposes in the same way that the textual version of the stats
are available (defining OUTPUT_FPF in firstpass.c)

when a subsequent frame is encoded as an alt reference frame, it is
unlikely that any mb in current frame will be used as reference for
future frames, so we can enable quantization optimization even when
the RD constant is slightly rate-biased. The change has an overall
benefit between 0.1% to 0.2% bit savings on the test sets based on
vpxssim scores.

8d0f7a01e6 Add simple version of activity masking.
This uses MB variance to change the RDO weight for mode decision
 and quantization.
Activity is normalized against the average for the frame, which is
 currently tracked using feed-forward statistics.
This could also be used to adjust the quantizer for the entire
 frame, but that requires more extensive rate control changes.
This does not yet attempt to adapt the quantizer within the frame,
 but the signaling cost means that will likely only be useful at
 very high rates.

b9be7a464f Fix loopfilter delta zero transitions
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.

insures that sufficient bits are allocated if needed and allocating a
full frame's worth of bits creates an excessive overhead for the ARF.

c15652bce1 Fixed an encoder debug/relese mismatch in x86_64-win64-vs8
Visual c++ compiler uses xmm registers for floating point
operations for 64 bit architecture, therefore its calling
convention requires the preservation of xmm6-xmm15 in any
function that have used these registers. However, the sse2
functions, that were originally written for 32 bit windows,
may have used xmm6 and xmm7 without preserving the content.
In this particular case, the compiler used xmm6 to save
the variable "two_pass_min_rate", the value of the variable
is mucked up by our sse2 optimized loop filter functions,
hence the results of release/debug mismatching.
