This patch fixes bug 633:
https://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=633
The first decoded frame does not have to be a keyframe,
it could be an inter-frame that is coded intra-only.
This patch fixes the handling of intra-only frames.
A test vector has also been added that encodes 3
intra-only frames at the start of the clip. The
test vector was generated using the code in the
following patch:

Prepare for frame parallel decoding, the reference count buffers
need to be protected by mutex. Move vp9_thread.* to common
folder so that those buffers could use cross-platform mutex
from vp9_thread.*.

This commit re-designs the quantization process for transform
coefficient blocks of size 4x4 to 16x16. It improves compression
performance for speed 7 by 3.85%. The SSSE3 version for the
new quantization process is included.
The average runtime of the 8x8 block quantization is reduced
from 285 cycles -> 255 cycles, i.e., over 10% faster.

CONFIG_INTERNAL_STATS or CONFIG_VP9_POSTPROC is enabled.
a future change should decouple this from the frame buffer allocation

options are enabled.

This patch checks that a decoder never tries to reference frame that's
outside the range of 2x to 1/16th the size of this frame. Any attempt
to do so causes a failure.

This commit enables a fast reference motion vector search scheme.
It checks the nearest top and left neighboring blocks to decide the
most probable predicted motion vector. If it finds the two have
the same motion vectors, it then skip finding exterior range for
the second most probable motion vector, and correspondingly skips
the check for NEARMV.
The runtime of speed -5 goes down
pedestrian at 1080p 29377 ms -> 27783 ms
vidyo at 720p 11830 ms -> 10990 ms
i.e., 6%-8% speed-up.
For rtc set, the compression performance
goes down by about -1.3% for both speed -5 and -6.

There is a normative scaling range of (x1/2, x16)
for VP9. This patch fixes the maximum downscaling
tests that are applied in the convolve function.
The code used a maximum downscaling limit of x1/5
for historic reasons related to the scalable
coding work. Since the downsampling in this
application is non-normative it will revert to
using a separate non-normative scaler.

The encoder currently allocates frame buffers before
it establishes what the chroma sub-sampling factor is,
always allocating based on the 4:4:4 format.
This patch detects the chroma format as early as
possible allowing the encoder to allocate buffers of
the correct size.
Future patches will change the encoder to allocate
frame buffers on demand to further reduce the memory
profile of the encoder and rationalize the buffer
management in the encoder and decoder.

This breaks the profile 1 bitstream.
Don't force non420 uv transform size to 1/4 y size. In the 4:2:0 case the
chroma corresponding to a luma block is 1/4 its size. In the 4:4:4 case
chroma and luma planes are the same size. Disallowing larger transforms
can result in a loss of compression efficiency and is inconsistent.
For sub-8x8 blocks only average corresponding motion vectors.
4:2:0 and profile 0 behavior remains unchanged.

This commit enables a fast path computational flow for forward
transformation. It checks the sse and variance of prediction
residuals and decides if the quantized coefficients are all
zero, dc only, or more. It then selects the corresponding coding
path in the forward transformation and quantization stage.
It is currently enabled in rtc coding mode. Will do it for rd
coding mode next.
In speed -6, the runtime for pedestrian_area 1080p at 1000 kbps
goes down from 14234 ms to 13704 ms, i.e., about 4% speed-up.
Overall coding performance for rtc set is changed by -0.18%.

In non frame-parallel decoding, this works the same way as
current decoding scheme. Every time after decoder finish
decoding a frame, it will swap the current mode info pointer
and previous mode info pointer if the decoded frame needs
to be shown. Both mode info pointer and previous mode info
pointer are from mode info arrays.
In frame-parallel decoding, this will become more complicated
as current frame's mode info pointer will be shared with next
frame as previous mode info pointer. But when one decoder
thread finishes decoding one frame and starts to work on next
available frame, it needs to retain the decoded frame's mode
info pointers until next frame finishes decoding. The mode info
index will serve this purpose. The decoder will use different
buffer in the mode info arrays and use the other buffer to save
previous decoded frame’s mode info.

In 8-tap filtering, to guarantee the intermediate results fit in
16 bits, the order of accumulating the products needs to be done
correctly, and the largest product should be added last. This

The current decode_tiles decodes the frame one tile by one tile
and then loopfilter the whole frame or use another worker thread to
do loopfiltering.
|------|------|------|------|
|Tile1-|Tile2-|Tile3-|Tile4-|
|------|------|------|------|
For example, if a tile video has one row and four cols, decode_tiles
will decode the Tile1, then Tile2, then Tile3, then Tile4.
And during decode each tile, decode_tile will decode row by row in
each tile.
For frame parallel decoding, decode_tiles will decode video in row order
across the tiles. So the order will be:
"Decode 1st row of Tile1" -> "Decode 1st row of Tile2"
-> "Decode 1st row of Tile3" -> "Decode 1st row of Tile4"
-> "Decode 2nd row of Tile1" -> "Decode 2nd row of Tile2"
-> "Decode 2nd row of Tile3" -> "Decode 2nd row of Tile4"-> "loopfilter 1st row"

vp9_block_error_sse2 can only handle 16 bytes at a time but
the function requires to handle a sequence of 32 bytes at a time
so each 16 bytes is handled in a different register.
With AVX2 optimization the 32 bytes can be handled in one register instead
of two in the SSE2
The vp9_block_error was optimized by 85%.
The user level was optimized by 1.2%

As a side-effect, the max_sad check is removed from the
C-implementation of VP8, for consistency with VP9, and to
ensure that the SAD tests common to VP8/VP9 pass.
That will make the VP8 C implementation of sad a little slower
but given that is rarely used in practice, the impact will be
minimal.

Turn on unit tests for SSSE3 8x8 forward and inverse 2D-DCT
Change eob threshold for partial inverse 8x8 2D-DCT to 12
SSSE3 8x8 inverse 2D-DCT with first 10 coeffs non-zero
The scanning order has the first 12 coefficients of the 8x8 2D-DCT
sitting in the top left 4x4 block. Hence the partial inverse 8x8
2D-DCT allows to handle cases with eob below 12.
The overall runtime of the inverse 8x8 2D-DCT unit is reduced from
166 cycles (using SSE2) to 150 cycles (using SSSE3).

Assembly implementation of ssse3 8x8 forward 2D-DCT. The current

This patch fixed the uninitialized read errors in Issue 748:
"dr memory VP9 encode errors". In vp9_convolve_avg_sse2,
when width is 4, pavgb reads 8 bytes from dst buffer that is

actually used later. This issue was resolved by preventing
uninitialized reads.

Calculate the difference variance between last source frame and
current source frame. The variance is calculated at 16x16 block
level. The variances are compared to several thresholds to decide
final partition sizes.
An adaptive strategy is implemented to decide using
SOURCE_VAR_BASED_PARTITION or FIXED_PARTITION based on motions
in the video. The switching test is done once every
search_type_check_frequency frames.
The selection of source_var_thresh needs to be investigated
further later.
RTC set Borg test showed 0.424% overall psnr gain, and 0.357%
ssim gain. For clips with large enough static area, the
encoding speedup is around 2% to 15%.
