This increases the range of Q values available to
normal inter frames to allow encoder a better chance
to hit the target rate.

The limits applied under the flag
"LIMIT_QRANGE_FOR_ALTREF_AND_KEY"
behaved in an undesirable way if the gap between
active_worst_quality and active_best_quality was
changed.
In this patch, the adjustment is made using the
vp9_compute_qdelta_by_rate() function and fixed
rate multiplier values. Hence it is not impacted by
the relative value of active_best_quality.

The cause is because VP9 encoding use vp8_vpxyv12_extendframeborders_neon
on arm which only extend boarder size 32. But VP9's border size is 160

This commit changed the initialization of best_mode_index to -1 to make
sure it is not mistakenly used for mode masking.
Change-Id: I75b05db51466070dd23c4ee57a4d4b40764dc019
In mode selection loop, once mode_index pass mode_skip_start, all
modes with a different reference frame from current best mode are
masked out using mode_skip_mask.
However, the setting of mode_skip_mask may use an invalid mode if
there is no mode tested yet. This commit fixes the issue by making
sure a mode has been tested and selected. Otherwise, no mode will be
masked out because of their reference frame.

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%.

This commit allows the non-RD mode decision flow to select
prediction filter type in NEWMV mode. It provides 8.14% compression
performance gains in both settings of AQ=0 and 3. The current speed

Adds some high-level hooks for profile 2 before further
progress on the implementation.
According to the definitiion in this patch:
1. Profile 2 only supports 10 or 12 bit color but not 8
2. Profile 2 supports all color sampling modes: 444, 422 and 420,
and alpha plane.
3. Profile 3 is currently undefined.
Please consider the definition carefully and suggest modifications
to the definition as needed.

ARF overlays now use the same rate correction factor as regular inter

a completely separate rate correction factor for ARF overlays.

This commit estimates the motion vector rate cost right after full
pixel motion search. It combines this and the mode cost and compares
the corresponding rate-distortion cost. If it is already above the
current best one, skip the rest sub-pixel motion search and modeling
process. For pedestrian_area 1080p at 4000 kpbs, the speed -5 runtime
goes down from 39425 ms -> 38399 ms.

This commit slightly increases the bit allocation for key frame. This

For real-time mode under cbr, this increases the gain (5-10%)

This commit reduces the frequency of frames using finer quantizer
in non-RD coding flow, and slightly tune up the quantizer resolution
when used. It provides 1.7% compression gains in speed -5 at no speed
difference.

The new tolerance is a little higher than before (especially
for kf/gf/arf) so this change gives an encode speed up
for some clips up for speeds 0-2.

This code/setting was actually not used (since speed features were not set on first frame,
until a recent change) and should be removed.
In CBR mode, the q value for the first frame can be controlled by setting
the target size via the parameters rc_buf_initial_sz (and max_intra_size_pct).

While encoding a frame, its last frame source can be used to give
acurate motion information. This patch prevents last frame to be
overwritten so that it is available during current frame encoding.
The last source is scaled when it is necessary. cpi->Last_Source
points to the last source frame.

This commit optimizes the bit allocation for the non-RD coding flow.
It applies slightly better quantizer to the frames, where all blocks
run a non-RD partition search. Such frames typically have better
rate-distortion trade off, thus improving the reconstruction quality
for next few frames reference at reasonably low increment in rate
cost.
The coding performance for rtc set at speed -5 with error-resilient
tuned on and rate control set as cbr is improved by 19.58%. It improved
the coding speed by about 10% for a portion of local test clips.

This commit adjusted the speed steps in rt mode to make the steps
more evenly spaced on speed and quality, specifically:
1. Merged 3 and 4 into one single step 3 and removed confilicting
features.
2. Move 8, 7, 6, 5 to be 7, 6, 5, 4 repsectively.

Small speed gain for speed 1.
Quality is generally a little up for speed 2.
Speed 3 was similar to speed 4 but now positioned more
evenly between 2 and 4 speed and quality wise.
(opsnr +5.6% ssim +8.25% across all sets)
Speed 4 is a little slower than before but sizable quality gains.
(opsnr +3.7% ssim +6.8% across all sets)
The code has been cleaned up a bit so that for each incremental
speed step changes over the previous speed step are applied.
This makes it easier to see what is changing from one setting to
the next.
Change-Id: I2d98d0d6230af23486adaec01908f58942a7cdeb
Allow tx search for ARF and GF helps quality but a little slower.
Setting subpel_iters_per_step to 1 improves encode speed.
Setting sf->mode_skip_start = 10 improves speed.
Initial local results suggest overall impact on quality is neutral
but encode is up to 15% faster.

This commit enables the non-RD mode decision coding flow to
adaptively apply partition search in non-refresh frame, when the
collocated block in previous frame suggests there might be a motion
activity. It refactors the update_state_rt() function to support
buffer swap of mode_info struct, thereby unifying the encoding
stage across various non-RD coding modes.
It provides 5% compression performance gains in speed -6 for rtc
test set, at about 12% speed slow down.
