The feature undergoes prior assumption that the recursive partition
size search from 4x4 to 64x64, hence utilizing information from small
blocks to determine early termination in large block rate-distortion
optimization search. The current codebase is now going from top down.
The previous function might go with not properly initialized values,
hence removed.
Tested on pedestrian_area_1080p at 4000 kbps running under speed 2.
No visible difference in runtime observed.

This patch sets frame types correctly in the new
vp9_get_second_pass_params() function called prior
to encode_frame_to_data_rate() function, so that the
latter function can just work with what is passed to
it. This will allow multiple vp9_get_second_pass_params()
to be created for various encode strategies without
messing with the core encode function.
There is no difference in derf and yt. stdhd/hd are pending.

In two pass encodes bits are allocated to each frame
according to a modified error score for the frame as a
fraction of the modified error score for the clip or section.
Previously a minimum rate per frame was reserved and
subtracted from the bits allocatable by the two pass code.
The vbr max section rate was enforced by clipping the
actual number of bits allocated.
In this patch the min and max vbr rates are enforced
instead by clipping the modified error scores for each frame
rather than the number of bits allocated.
Small gains for all test sets (psnr and SSIM) ranging from
~ +0.05 for YT psnr up to ~ +0.25 for Std-hd SSIM.

This commit takes a preliminary attempt to refine the motion search
control. It detects the SAD associated with mv predictor per reference
frame, and based on which to determine whether the encoder wants to
reduce the motion search range (if the predicted mv provides fairly
small SAD), or to skip the current reference frame (if there exists
another ref frame that gives much smaller SAD cost).
This feature is turned on in the settings of speed 1 and above.

Moving back to scale_factors struct. We don't need anymore x_offset_q4 and
y_offset_q4 because both values are calculated locally inside vp9_scale_mv
function.
Change-Id: I78a2122ba253c428a14558bda0e78ece738d2b5b
Before mv scaling it is required to calculate x_offset_q4/y_offset_q4
by calling set_scaled_offsets(). Now offset configuration can not be
missed because it happens just before scale_mv().

This will hurt metrics in some cases (particularly for static

Slightly reduces the mean tendency to undershoot target

The effect is primarily at low q.

Various cleanups and refactoring.
Removes feedback of active worst qaulity and uses last_q
instead to make the interface cleaner. Active worst quality
is now decided only once for a frame being coded in the
beginning based on last_q and other stats. Also, adds other
cleaups on last_q to store also the last_q for altref frames,
and reduces the altref interval a little.
The output does change a little.

This commit enables an adaptive prediction filter type selection
for sub8x8 block sizes. In speed 1, it re-uses the filter type of
collocated 8x8 block if it is tested in the rate-distortion optimization
loop, for the sub8x8 blocks. Otherwise, it runs the normal test
over all the three filter types. In speed 2, it re-uses the 8x8
block's prediction filter type, if available. Otherwise, force it
to be EIGHTTAP.

Add a full range motion search for regular block sizes. This runs
exhaustive search within the given reference area. This commit further
optimizes the search process by combining 4 points test into one
pipeline, which gives 30% speed-up as compared to run each individual
point at a time.
This full range search serves as a best possible motion search reference.
When replacing the diamond search with full range search, the speed 0
runtime of bus CIF at 2000 kbps goes from 153872ms to 623051ms. The
compression performance compared to speed 0 setting gains 0.585% for
derf set.
