If the partition block is skippable, which means no coefficients
for Y, U, and V planes, its skip flag is set to 1. No quality
change (verified by borg tests), and no noticeable speed change.

This commit enforces ARF validation check for compound inter modes.
It avoids potential access to ARF in the encoding process if it
is not allowed.

The valid reference frame check in sub8x8 rate-distortion
optimization search has been included in the ref_frame_skip_mask
scheme. This commit removes the later further validation checks
that are not in effect.

This commit replaces the best_ref_index table fetch with the use
of best_mbmode in vp9_rd_pick_inter_mode_sub8x8.

Call to vp9_rc_get_second_pass_params() moved from
Pass2Encode() to earlier in vp9_get_compressed_data(),
to ensure that two pass stats and parameters are
available before decisions such as frame scaling.

When a reference frame type is not in the frame buffer, the mode
search threshold will be set to INT_MAX, so as to effectively
turn off the mode entries in the rate-distortion optimization loop
that involves this reference frame type. This operation is now
integrated in the ref_frame_skip_mask scheme. This commit hence
removes the redundant mode search threshold setting.

This commit unifies the reference frame control in the rate-
distortion optimization search loop of sub8x8 block size to remove
the control dependency on mode search order.

Improves function to return sad of integer pels by reusing integer
pels already visited in the smallest scale.
Turns on BIGDIA search for speed 4. Also, turns on the
first version of the pruned subpel search at this speed.
derf: -0.32% (speed 4)
Speed seems to improve by at least 5% but subject to verification.

Adds various high bitdepth transform functions and tests.
Much of the changes are related to using typedefs tran_low_t
and tran_high_t for the final transform cofficients and intermediate
stages of the transform computation respectively rather than fixed
types int16_t/int. When vp9_highbitdepth configure flag is off,
these map tp int16_t/int32_t, but when the flag is on, they map
to int32_t/int64_t to make space for needed extra precision.

The variable best_inter_rd is effectively not in use in the rate-
distortion mode search loops of both regular block sizes and sub8x8
block sizes.

The speed feature that skips compound inter prediction modes was
subsumed by other speed features and effectively was not in use.
This commit removes it.

Integrate intra mode mask speed feature with the mode_skip_mask
scheme. Move it outside the mode search loop in the
vp9_rd_pick_inter_mode_sb function.
Change-Id: I7738fea749bfdc08ad05d7f2524feb8ff67568d9
This speed feature is used in real-time setting only. Remove the
related condition check in the rate-distortion optimization search
loop.

Refactor overlay frame speed-up related function. Make it unified

This commit refactor the rate-distortion optimization search for

This issue is found when the denoising mode is set to kDenoiserOnYUVAggressive.
Updated the C code to make it the same with SSE version.
I also changed several lines in VP9 denoiser for the code style.

This commit fixes a bug related to skipping intra mode checking, by
using a separate variable to store the best prediction error from
inter mode. It avoids unintentionally overwriting intra mode
rate-distortion cost, and hence affecting other speed features.

Assigning selected reference frame pointer is done in the
encode_superblock function. No need to do this at the end of
rate-distortion optimization search.

This commit refactors the vp9_rd_pick_inter_mode_sb function to
remove the intra mode early termination dependency on the mode
search order.

This commit allows the encoder to find current best prediction mode
state using best_mbmode, instead of fetching from the static mode
search table via best_mode_index.

The use of use_lastframe_partitioning is totally removed in good-
quality encoding. Its usage in real-time encoding needs to be
evaluated to see if it can be removed too.
The Borg tests at speed 4 showed:
stdhd set: 0.220% psnr gain, 0.166% ssim gain;
derf set: 0.329% psnr gain, 0.476% ssim gain.
Speed test on selected clips showed 1.54% speedup.(Worst case:
pedestrian_area_1080p25.y4m, speed loss: 1.5%)
Change-Id: I1c844d329b0b5678558439b887297c1be7ddab00
The speedup in rd_pick_partition() function makes it possible
to drop use_lastframe_partitioning feature. By doing that, we
achieve good PSNR gain with small speed loss. Also, this makes
encoding loop less complicated. The code cleanup patch will
follow.
Borg tests showed:
1. At speed 2,
stdhd set: 0.201% PSNR gain, 0.133% SSIM gain;
derf set: 0.262% PSNR gain, 0.276% SSIM gain.
2. At speed 3,
stdhd set: 0.139% PSNR gain, 0.109% SSIM gain;
derf set: 0.447% PSNR gain, 0.442% SSIM gain.
The average speed loss over selected test clips is within 1%
with the worst case of 4%.

The rate costs calculated for inter modes are not precise in some
cases, which causes NEWMV is chosen instead of NEARESTMV, NEARMV,
and ZEROMV. This patch added checks for these cases, and corrected
the mode decisions.
Borg tests at speed 3 showed:
1. stdhd set: 0.102% PSNR gain and 0.088% SSIM gain.
2. derf set: 0.147% PSNR gain and 0.132% SSIM gain.
No speed change.

This commit turns on adaptive motion search for ARF coding, in
addition to other normal inter frame coding. It improves the
average compression efficiency:
stdhd 0.1%
derf 0.04%
For the test sequences, the speed 3 runtime is reduced:
pedestrian 1080p 2000 kbps, 149932 ms -> 144580 ms, (3.3% speed-up)
bus CIF 1000 kbps, 8050 ms -> 7895 ms, (1.9%)
highway CIF 100 bkps, 45033 ms -> 44078 ms, (2.2%)
Change-Id: I5228565b609f99e8ae04f6140a2bf2b64a831d21
This is to keep the same with VP8 denoiser.
If motion magnitude is small,
make denoiser more aggressive.
Change-Id: I942a6e2f2ed9aec6f0c4c1f9e5fa47066cadcc0c
When the first try of denoising turns out to be too much,
we will use a softer filter by adopting an adjustment to
make the result closer to original pixel (as in VP8 denoiser).
The old code made the adjustment in the wrong direction.
Change-Id: I84e28fa9e01eef47c5a37d5a2e6d3d378a06786b
This commit allows the encoder to store outcomes of single reference
frame modes and compares them to decide if the inter prediction
filter, forward transform, and quantization can be skipped.
The compression performance of speed 3 is down
derf -0.364%
stdhd -0.198%
For test sequences, the speed 3 runtime is reduced
highway CIF 100 kbps, 51976 ms -> 45033 ms, 13% speed-up
stockholm 720p 1000 kbps, 71826 ms -> 67838 ms, 5.5% speed-up

intra_super_block_yrd() and inter_super_block_yrd() are largely same,
this commit merges them into one to reduce code duplication.

From 3 to 2, which seems to be slightly positive on compression for
all test sets, also reduces encoding time by 2%-5%, varying on the
test clips.

This commit removes the special case for key frame, as transform size
decision is controlled by the appropriate speed feature for all lossy
