In sub-pixel motion search, the search range is small(+/- 3 pixels).
Preload whole search area from reference buffer into a 32-byte
aligned buffer. Then in search, load reference data from this buffer
instead. This keeps data in cache, and reduces the crossing cache-
line penalty. For tulip clip, tests on Intel Core2 Quad machine(linux)
showed encoder speed improvement:
3.4% at --rt --cpu-used =-4
2.8% at --rt --cpu-used =-3
2.3% at --rt --cpu-used =-2
2.2% at --rt --cpu-used =-1
Test on Atom notebook showed only 1.1% speed improvement(speed=-4).
Test on Xeon machine also showed less improvement, since unaligned
data access latency is greatly reduced in newer cores.
Next, I will apply similar idea to other 2 sub-pixel search functions
for encoding speed > 4.
Make this change exclusively for x86 platforms.

This adds the magic .note.GNU-stack section at the end of each ARM
asm file (when built with gas), indicating that a non-executable
stack is allowed.
Without this section, the linker will assume the object requires an
executable stack by default, forcing an executable stack for the
entire program.

This is done by expanding luma row to 32-byte alignment, since
there is currently a bunch of code that assumes that
uv_stride == y_stride/2 (see, for example, vp8/common/postproc.c,
common/reconinter.c, common/arm/neon/recon16x16mb_neon.asm,
encoder/temporal_filter.c, and possibly others; I haven't done a
full audit).
It also uses replaces the hardcoded border of 16 in a number of
encoder buffers with VP8BORDERINPIXELS (currently 32), as the
chroma rows start at an offset of border/2.
Together, these two changes have the nice advantage that simply
dumping the frame memory as a contiguous blob produces a valid,
if padded, image.

This reverts commit b73a3693e5.
This version of the check doesn't work with generic-gnu, and figuring
out the correct symbol version at configure time is probably more work
than this is worth. May revisit in the future.

allowing the compiler to inline this function. For real-time
encodes, this gave a boost of 1% to 2.5%, depending on the
speed setting.

This patch attempts to improve the handling of CBR streams with
respect to the short term buffering requirements. The "buffer level"
is changed to be an average over the rc buffer, rather than a long
running average. Overshoot is also tracked over the same interval
and the golden frame targets suppressed accordingly to correct for
overly aggressive boosting.
Testing shows that this is fairly consistently positive in one
metric or another -- some clips that show significant decreases
in quality have better buffering characteristics, others show
improvenents in both.

Optimized C-code of the following functions:
- vp8_tokenize_mb
- tokenize1st_order_b
- tokenize2nd_order_b
Gives ~1-5% speed-up for RT encoding on Cortex-A8/A9
depending on encoding parameters.

glibc implements some checking on longjmp() calls by replacing it with
an internal function __longjmp_chk(), when FORTIFY_SOURCE is defined.
This can be problematic when compiling the library under one version of
glibc and running it under another. Work around this issue for the one
symbol affected for now, before taking out the undef hammer.

Previously allocated more memory than necessary for yuv buffers.
This makes it harder to track bugs with reading uninitialized
data.

Do mvp clamping in full-pixel precision instead of 1/8-pixel
precision to avoid error caused by right shifting operation.
Also, further fixed the motion vector limit calculation in change:

Separate simple filter with reduced no. of parameters.
MB filter level picking based on precalculated table. Level table updated for
each frame. Inside and edge limits precalculated and updated just when
sharpness changes. HEV threshhold is constant.
ARM targets use scalars and others vectors.
Change works only with --target=generic-gnu
All other targets have to be updated!

Allow the encoder to inform the application that the encoded frame will not
be used as a reference.
