The ambient qp and active worse/best qp were reset for every frame
when temporal layers is on. This change removes this reset.
As this affects the target size for forced key frames
(it will actually lower the size somewhat), we increased the
inital boost factor to compensate.

Added drop_frame support in multi-resolution encoder.
If one frame is dropped at a lower-resolution level, the next
upper-resolution level encoder needs to encode that frame
independently without any lower-resolution level motion
information.
Another issue is that if one frame is dropped at some but not all
resolution levels, a frame after that one may use different set
of reference frames at different resolution levels. This reference
frame asynchronization could degrade motion search precision in
upper-resolution level encoding, which uses lower-resolution level
motion result. This change compares the lower-resolution and upper-
resolution level's reference frames. If they are not the same, the
upper-resolution level encoder can not use lower-resolution level
motion result.

Frame dropping decision is made by evaluating both current frame
and next frame's buffer_level. If both buffer_levels are less
than drop_mark, next frame is dropped. When frame dropping is
over, namely, buffer_level becomes normal again, we need to
reset decimation_count to 0.

The logic for spatial resizing is done after the Q is selected for the
frame. This causes a problem that the Q we select for the (resized)
key frame may be based on a different resolution than the frame we
will encode.
This fix is to ensure that, when resize is on, the selected Q is still
based on the resolution of the frame to be encoded.

In multi-resolution encoding, frame_type decision for each frame

Race was introduced by https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/15563.
If loopfilter related config params were changed between frames, or
after a KEY frame, there could be a mismatch between encoder's and
decoder's recontructed image. In worst case, when frame buffers are
reallocated because of a size change, the loopfilter could
do an invalid data access (segmentation fault).
Fixes:
Sync with the loopfilter before applying any encoder changes in
vp8_change_config().
Moved the loopfilter synching to the top of
encode_frame_to_data_rate() so that it's done before any alteration of
the encoder.

RD costs were local to MACROBLOCK data and had to be copied all the
time to each thread's MACROBLOCK data. Tables moved to a common place
and only pointers are setup for each encoding thread.
vp8_cost_tokens() generates 'int' costs so changed all types to be
int (i.e. removed unsigned).

This change added a motion search skipping mechanism similar
to what we did in second pass. For a macroblock that is very
similar to the macroblock at same location on last frame,
we can set its mv to be zero, and skip motion search. This

conferencing clips with a slight PSNR loss.

Produce the token partitions on-the-fly, while processing each MB.
Context is updated at the beginning of each frame based on the
previoud frame's counters. Optimally encoder outputs partitions in
separate buffers. For frame based output, partitions are concatenated
internally.
Limitations:
- enabled just in combination with realtime-only mode
- number of encoding threads has to be equal or less than the
number of token partitions. For this reason, by default the encoder
will do 8 token partitions.
- vpxenc supports partition output (-P) just in combination with
IVF output format (--ivf)
Performance:
- Realtime encoder can be up to 13% faster (ARM) depending on the number
of threads and bitrate settings. Constant gain over the 5-16 speed
range.
- Token buffer reduced from one frame to 8 MBs
Quality:
- quality is affected by the delayed context updates. This again
dependents on input material, speed and bitrate settings. For VC
style input the loss seen is up to 0.2dB. If error-resilient=2
mode is used than the effect of this change is negligible.
Example:
./configure --enable-realtime-only --enable-onthefly-bitpacking
./vpxenc --rt --end-usage=1 --fps=30000/1000 -w 640 -h 480
--target-bitrate=1000 --token-parts=3 --static-thresh=2000

Second shot at this...
Sync with loopfilter thread as late as possible, usually just at the
beginning of next frame encoding. This returns control to application
faster and allows a better multicore scaling.
When PSNR packets are generated the final filtered frame is needed
imediatly so we cannot delay the sync. Same has to be done when
internal frame is previewed.

This is a proof of concept RTCD implementation to replace the current
system of nested includes, prototypes, INVOKE macros, etc. Currently
only the decoder specific functions are implemented in the new system.
Additional functions will be added in subsequent commits.
Overview:
RTCD "functions" are implemented as either a global function pointer
or a macro (when only one eligible specialization available).
Functions which have RTCD specializations are listed using a simple
DSL identifying the function's base name, its prototype, and the
architecture extensions that specializations are available for.
Advantages over the old system:
- No INVOKE macros. A call to an RTCD function looks like an ordinary
function call.
- No need to pass vtables around.
- If there is only one eligible function to call, the function is
called directly, rather than indirecting through a function pointer.
- Supports the notion of "required" extensions, so in combination with
the above, on x86_64 if the best function available is sse2 or lower
it will be called directly, since all x86_64 platforms implement
sse2.
- Elides all references to functions which will never be called, which
could reduce binary size. For example if sse2 is required and there
are both mmx and sse2 implementations of a certain function, the
code will have no link time references to the mmx code.
- Significantly easier to add a new function, just one file to edit.
Disadvantages:
- Requires global writable data (though this is not a new requirement)
- 1 new generated source file.

When running multi-layer (ML) encodes and dynamically

The total_stats, this_frame_stats, and total_left_stats structures
were previously create by a heap allocation, despite being of fixed
size. These structures were allocated and deallocated during
{de,}allocate_compressor_data, which is reinvoked whenever the frame
size changes. Unfortunately, this clobbers the total_stats and
total_left_stats data.
Historically, these were variable size at one time, due to the first
pass motion map, which necessitated their being created by a unique
heap allocation. However, this bug with the total_stats being
clobbered has probably been present since that initial implementation.
These structures are instead moved to be stored within the struct
twopass_rc directly, rather than being heap allocated separately.

The example encoder down-samples the input video frames a number of
times with a down-sampling factor, and then encodes and outputs
bitstreams with different resolutions.
Support arbitrary down-sampling factor, and down-sampling factor
can be different for each encoding level.
For example, the encoder can be tested as follows.
1. Configure with multi-resolution encoding enabled:
../libvpx/configure --target=x86-linux-gcc --disable-codecs
--enable-vp8 --enable-runtime_cpu_detect --enable-debug
--disable-install-docs --enable-error-concealment
--enable-multi-res-encoding
2. Run make
3. Encode:
If input video is 1280x720, run:
./vp8_multi_resolution_encoder 1280 720 input.yuv 1.ivf 2.ivf 3.ivf 1
(output: 1.ivf(1280x720); 2.ivf(640x360); 3.ivf(320x180).
The last parameter is set to 1/0 to show/not show PSNR.)
4. Decode:
./simple_decoder 1.ivf 1.yuv
./simple_decoder 2.ivf 2.yuv
./simple_decoder 3.ivf 3.yuv
5. View video:
mplayer 1.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=1280:h=720 -loop 0 -fps 30
mplayer 2.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=640:h=360 -loop 0 -fps 30

API was not returning correct partition sizes on arm targets.
The armv5 token packing functions were not storing the information to the
partition size table.
As a fix, have one boolcoder instance allocated for each partition so
that partition sizes are internally available after all partitions
were encoded. This will also allow more flexibility in producing
several partitions in parallel.
Use buffer validation (overflow check) in all ARM bitpacking
functions.

There was an implicit reference frame test order (typically LAST,
GOLD, ARF) in the mode selection logic, but this doesn't provide the
expected results when some reference frames are disabled. For
instance, in real-time mode, the speed selection logic often disables
the ARF modes. So if the user disables the LAST and GOLD frames, the
encoder was always choosing INTRA, when in reality searching the ARF
in this case has the same speed penalty as searching LAST would have
had.
Instead, introduce the notion of a reference frame search order. This
patch preserves the former priorities, so if a frame is disabled, the
other frames bump up a slot to take its place. This patch lays the
groundwork for doing something smarter in the frame test order, for
example considering temporal distance or looking at the frames used by
nearby blocks.

The calculated frame_rate is a state variable in the codec, and

Added code to clip the buffer level to the maximum buffer
size. Without this the buffer level would increase
unchecked.
This bug was found when encoding an essentially static
scene at 2Mb/s. The encoder is unable to generate frames
consistent with the high data-rate because Q bottoms out
at Qmin.
As frames generated are consistently undersized the buffer
level increases and does not get checked against the
maximum size specified by the user (or default).
