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 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.

In this commit I have added an experimental function
that tests prediction quality either side of a central position
to calculate a suggested boost number for an ARF frame.
The function is passed an offset from the current position and
a number of frames to search forwards and backwards.
It returns a forward, backward and compound boost number.
The new code can be deactivated using #define NEW_BOOST 0
In its current default state the code searches forwards and backwards
from the proposed position of the next alt ref.
The the old code used a boost number calculated by scanning forward
from the previous GF up to the proposed alt ref frame position.
I have also added some code to try and prevent placement of a gf/arf
where there is a brief flash.

With this commit frames can be received partition-by-partition
from the encoder and passed partition-by-partition to the
decoder.
At the encoder-side this makes it easier to split encoded
frames at partition boundaries, useful when packetizing
frames. When VPX_CODEC_USE_OUTPUT_PARTITION is enabled,
several VPX_CODEC_CX_FRAME_PKT packets will be returned
from vpx_codec_get_cx_data(), containing one partition
each. The partition_id (starting at 0) specifies the decoding
order of the partitions. All partitions but the last has
the VPX_FRAME_IS_FRAGMENT flag set.
At the decoder this opens up the possibility of decoding partition
N even though partition N-1 was lost (given that independent
partitioning has been enabled in the encoder) if more info
about the missing parts of the stream is available through
external signaling.
Each partition is passed to the decoder through the
vpx_codec_decode() function, with the data pointer pointing
to the start of the partition, and with data_sz equal to the
size of the partition. Missing partitions can be signaled to
the decoder by setting data != NULL and data_sz = 0. When
all partitions have been given to the decoder "end of data"
should be signaled by calling vpx_codec_decode() with
data = NULL and data_sz = 0.
The first partition is the first partition according to the
VP8 bitstream + the uncompressed data chunk + DCT address
offsets if multiple residual partitions are used.
Change-Id: I5bc0682b9e4112e0db77904755c694c3c7ac6e74

The current code stores pointers to coefficient tables and loads them to
access the tables contents. As these pointers are stored in the code
sections, it means we end up with text relocations. eu-findtextrel will
thus complain about code not compiled with -fpic/-fPIC.
Since the pointers are stored in the code sections, we can actually cheat
and let the assembler generate relative addressing when accessing the
coefficient tables, and just load their location with adr.

This reverts commit 212f618373.
Further testing shows that the overshoot accumulation/damping is too
aggressive on some clips. Allowing the accumulated overshoot to
decay and limiting to damping to golden frames shows some promise.
But some clips show significant overshoot in the buffer window, so
I think this still needs work.

RDMULT/RDDIV defines a bit worth of distortion in term of sum squared
difference. This has also been used as errorperbit in subpixel motion
search, where the distortions computed as variance of the difference.
The variance of differences is different from sum squared differences
by amount of DC squared. Typically, for inter predicted MBs, this
difference averages around 10% between the two distortion, so this patch
introduces a 110% constant in deriving errorperbit from RDMULT/RDDIV.
Test on CIF set shows small but positive gain on overall PSNR (.03%)
and SSIM (.07%), overall impact on average PSNR is 0.

Modify the second-pass code to provide a full golden-frame (GF) bit
allocation boost if the past GF group (GFG) had no alt-ref frame (ARF),
even if the current GFG does contain and ARF.
This mostly has no effect on clips, since switching ARFs on/off between
GFGs is not very common. Has a positive effect on e.g. cheer (+0.45 SSIM
at 600kbps) and football (+0.25 SSIM at 600kbps), particularly at high
bitrates. Has a negative effect (-0.04 SSIM at 300kbps) at pamphlet,
which appears only marginally related to this patch, and crew (-0.1 SSIM
at 700kbps).

firstpass.c contains some rate adjustment code that assures that the
last few frames in a sequence abide by rate limits. If the second-to-
last group of frames contains an alt-ref frame (ARF), the last golden
frame (GF) is zero bytes, and we will thus spend a ridiculously high
number of bits on regular P-frames trying to hit the target rate. This
does slightly enhance the quality of these last few frames, but has
no perceptual value (other than hitting the target rate).
Disabling this code means we consistently (slightly) undershoot the
target rate and consequently do worse on the last few frames of a
clip, which is particularly noticeable for small clips. The quality-
per-bitrate is generally better, ~0.2% better overall on derf-set,
especially on clips such as garden, tennis, foreman at low bitrates.
Has a negative effect on hallmonitor at high bitrates.

In activity masking, RDO constant RDMULT is adjusted on a per MB basis
adaptive to activity with the MB. errorperbit, which is defined as
RDMULT/RDDIV, is a constant used in motion estimation. Previously, in
activity masking, errorperbit is not changed even when RDMULT is changed.
This commit changed to adjust errorperbit according to the change in
RDMULT.
Test in cif set showed a very small but consistent gain by all quality
metrics (average, overall psnr and ssim) when activity masking is on.

This patch attempts to reduce the peak bitrate hit by the encoder
when using small buffer windows.
Tested on the CIF set over 200-500kbps using these settings:
--buf-sz=500 --buf-initial-sz=250 --buf-optimal-sz=250 \
--undershoot-pct=100
Two pass encodes were tested at best quality. One pass encodes were
tested only at realtime speed 4:
--rt --cpu-used=-4
The peak datarate (over the specified 500ms window) was measured
for each encode, and averaged together to get metric for
"average peak," computed as SUM(peak)/SUM(target). This patch
reduces the average peak datarate as follows:
One pass:
baseline: 1.29715
this patch: 1.23664
Two pass:
baseline: 1.32702
this patch: 1.37824
This change had a positive effect on our quality metrics as well:
One pass CBR:
Min / Mean / Max (pct)
Average PSNR -0.42 / 2.86 / 27.32
Overall PSNR -0.90 / 2.00 / 17.27
SSIM -0.05 / 3.95 / 37.46
Two pass CBR:
Min / Mean / Max (pct)
Average PSNR -4.47 / 4.35 / 35.99
Overall PSNR -3.40 / 4.18 / 36.46
SSIM -4.56 / 6.98 / 53.67
One pass VBR:
Min / Mean / Max (pct)
Average PSNR -5.21 / 0.01 / 3.30
Overall PSNR -8.10 / -0.38 / 1.21
SSIM -7.38 / -0.11 / 3.17
(note: most values here were close to the mean, there were a few
outliers on files that were very sensitive to golden frame size)
Two pass VBR:
Min / Mean / Max (pct)
Average PSNR 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00
Overall PSNR 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00
SSIM 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00
Neither one pass or two pass CBR mode adheres particularly strictly
to the short term buffer constraints, and two pass is less
consistent, even in the baseline commit. This should be addressed
in a later commit. This likely will hurt the quality numbers, as it
will have to reduce the burstiness of golden frames.
Aside: My work on this commit makes it clear that we need to make
rate control modes "pluggable", where you can easily write a new
one or work on one in isolation.

error_per_bit and sad_per_bit were designed as estimates of a bit worth
of sum squared error and sum absolute difference respectively. Under
this assumption, error_per_bit should be used in combination with 2nd
order errors (variance or sum squared error) while sad_per_bit should
be used in combination with 1st order SADs in motion estimation. There
were a few places where sad_per_bit has been misused with variances,
this commit changes to use error_per_bit for those places, also changes
parameter names to properly indicate which constant is being used.
On cif set, the change has a universal gain by all metrics: 0.13% by

This patch collects the twopass specific memebers of VP8_COMP into a
dedicated struct. This is a first step towards isolating the two pass
rate control and aids readability by decorating these variables with
the 'twopass.' namespace. This makes it clear to the reader in what
contexts the variable will be valid, and is a hint that a section of
code might be a good candidate to move to firstpass.c in later
refactoring. There likely will be other rate control modes that need
their own specific data as well.
This notation is probably overly verbose in firstpass.c, so an
alternative would be to access this struct through a pointer like
'rc->' instead of 'cpi->firstpass.' in that file. Feel free to make
a review comment to that effect if you prefer.

small positive impact on quality (0.25% by VPXSSIM and 0.05% by PSNR)

The variable is introduced in commit 2e53e9e53 to make more use of
trellis quantization, but this is no longer necessary after RDMULT
was made adaptive in a number of later commits.

global values were being referenced, but the GOT was not being set up.
as the GOT is only required for PIC, this issue wasn't caught in the
default configuration.

In NEWMV mode, currently, full search is used as the refining search
after n-step search. By replacing it with an iterative diamond search
of radius 1 largely reduced the computation complexity, but still
maintained the same encoding quality since the refining search is
done for every macroblock instead of only a small precentage of
macroblocks while using full search.
Tests on the test set showed a 3.4% encoding speed increase with none
psnr & ssim loss.

Paul pointed out that the pointer to the gf_active_flags is not being
properly incremented in multithreaded encoder. This commit fixes the
issue by making sure the gf_active_ptr points to the starting of next
group of mb rows.

Commit db5057c introduced a bug in that the active_worst_quality
selected by the 2 pass rate controller was being overridden for key
frames, causing a severe quality loss.

vp8_fast_quantize_b_neon function updated and further optimized.
- match current C implementation of fast quantizer
- updated to use asm_enc_offsets for structure members
- updated ads2gas scripts to handle alignment issues

The existing emulation of posix semaphores on Windows uses SetEvent()
and WaitForSingleObject(), which implements a binary semaphore, not a
counting semaphore as implemented by posix. This causes deadlock when
used with the expected posix semantics. Instead, this patch uses the
CreateSemaphore() and ReleaseSemaphore() calls (introduced in Windows
2000) which have the expected behavior.
This patch also reverts commit eb16f00, which split a semaphore that
was being used with counting semantics into two binary semaphores.
That commit is unnecessary with corrected emulation.

This patch is to fix a rare hang in multi-thread encoder that was
only seen on Windows. Thanks for John's help in debugging the
problem. More test is needed.

Changed 8-neighbor searching to 4-neighour searching, and continued
searching until the center point is the best match.
Test on test set showed 1.3% encoding speed improvement as well as
0.1% PSNR and SSIM improvement at speed=-5 (rt mode).
Will continue to improve it.

The commit also removed the slow ssim calculation that uses a 7x7
kernel, and revised the comments to better describe how sample ssim
values are computed and averaged

Insertion sort performs better for sorting small arrays. In real-
time encoding (speed=-5), test on test set showed 1.7% performance
gain with 0% PSNR change in average.

Allow more reliable detection of truncated bitstreams by being more
precise with the count of "virtual" bits in the value buffer.
Specifically, the VP8_LOTS_OF_BITS value is accumulated into count,
rather than being assigned, which was losing the prior value,
increasing the required tolerance when testing for the error condition.

Combine calc_iframe_target_size, previously only used for forced
keyframes, with calc_auto_iframe_target_size, which handled most
keyframes.

This is a first step in cleaning up the redundancies between
vp8_calc_{auto_,}iframe_target_size. The pick_frame_size() function is
moved to ratectrl.c, and made to be the primary interface. This means
that the various calc_*_target_size functions can be made private.

Rather than using a default size of 1/2 or 3/2 seconds for the first
frame, use a fraction of the initial buffer level to give the
application some control.
This will likely undergo further refinement as size limits on key
frames are currently under discussion on codec-devel@, but this gives
much better behavior for small buffer sizes as a starting point.

The accumulator array is an integer array, so use paddd instead of paddw
to add values to it. Fixes overflows when using large --arnr-maxframes
(>8) values.
