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.

Add a new encoder control, VP8E_SET_TUNING, to allow the application
to inform the encoder that the material will benefit from certain
tuning. Expose this control as the --tune option to vpxenc. The args
helper is expanded to support enumerated arguments by name or value.
Two tunings are provided by this patch, PSNR (default) and SSIM.
Activity masking is made dependent on setting --tune=ssim, as the
current implementation hurts speed (10%) and PSNR (2.7% avg,
10% peak) too much for it to be a default yet.

- Used three probability approach for temporal context as follows:
P0 - probability of no change if both above and left not changed
P1 - probability of no change if one of above and left has changed
P2 - probability of no change if both above and left have changed
In addition, a 1 bit/frame has been used to decide whether to use temporal context or to encode directly. The cost of using both the schemes is calculated ahead and the temporal_update flag is set if the cost of using temporal context is lower than encoding the segment ids directly.
This approach has given around 20% reduction in cost of bits needed to encode segmentation ids.

This eliminates a large set of warnings exposed by the Mozilla build

There are a few spurious warnings left on my system:

ARM NEON has a platform specific version of vp8_recon16x16mb, though
it's just a stub to extract the various parameters from the

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
considering a different (possibly new) conditional for these. If
it turns out that this should be runtime selectable, these
functions will have to move to the RTCD infrastructure. Don't want
to take that step at this time without more profile data.

there were four versions for the regular and
macroblock loopfilters:
horizontal [y|uv]
vertical [y|uv]
this moves all the common code into 2 functions:
vp8_loop_filter_neon
vp8_mbloop_filter_neon
this provides no gain in performance. there's a bit
of jitter, but it trends down ~0.25-0.5%. however,
this is a huge gain maintenance. also, there is the
potential to drop some stack usage in the macroblock
loopfilter.

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.

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.

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

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

When the license headers were updated, they accidentally contained
trailing whitespace, so unfortunately we have to touch all the files
again.

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.

Restructure vp8_sixtap_predict functions to eliminate extra 5-line
calculation while doing first-pass only. Also, combline functions
to eliminate usage of intermediate buffer. This gives decoder a 3%
performance gain on my test clips.

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.

This patch creates some basic infrastructure for doing bitstream-
incompatible changes to the VP8 encoder. The key parts are:
- --enable-experimental configure switch, to enable support for this
incompatible bitstream. This switch is required to be set to enable
any "experiments"
- A list for "experiments" which translate into --enable-<experiment>
options and CONFIG_<experiment> macros.
- The high bit of the "Version" field is used to indicate that the
bitstream was produced by an experimental encoder. The decoder will
fail to decode an experimental bitstream without
--enable-experimental.
- A new "vp8x" encoder interface is created to set the experimental
bit.
- The vp8x encoder interface is made the default for ivfenc in
experimental mode.

This renames the vpx_codec/ directory to vpx/, to allow applications
to more consistently reference these includes with the vpx/ prefix.
This allows the includes to be installed in /usr/local/include/vpx
rather than polluting the system includes directory with an
excessive number of includes.

This doesn't play well with autotools, and the preprocessor magic is
confusing and unhelpful in the vp8-only context.
