Change vp9_block_error() to return a 64bit error variable, change all
callers to expect a 64bit return value (this will prevent overflows,
which we basically don't check for at all right now). Remove duplicate
block_error() function, which fixed that through truncation. Remove
old (incompatible) mmx/sse2 block_error SIMD versions and replace with
a new one that returns a 64bit value.
Encoding time of first 50 frames of bus @ 1500kbps goes from 3min29 to

Encoding of bus @ 1500kbps (first 50 frames) goes from 3min57 to
3min35, i.e. approximately a 10.5% speedup. Note that the SIMD versions
which use a bilinear filter (x_offset & 7 || y_offset & 7) aren't
perfectly interleaved, and can probably be improved further in the
future. I've marked this with a few TODOs/FIXMEs in the code.

This commit makes use of dual fdct32x32 versions for rate-distortion
optimization loop and encoding process, respectively. The one for
rd loop requires only 16 bits precision for intermediate steps.
The original fdct32x32 that allows higher intermediate precision (18
bits) was retained for the encoding process only.
This allows speed-up for fdct32x32 in the rd loop. No performance
loss observed.

Fixed point scaling factors are calculated once for each
reference frame by using integer division. Otherwise fixed point
scaling routines are used in all scaling calculations. This makes it
possible to calculate fixed point scaling factors on device driver
software and pass them to hardware and thus avoid division on hardware.
TODO:
- Missing check for maximum frame dimensions
(currently scaling uses 14 bits)
- Missing check for maximum scaling ratio
(upscaling 16:1, downscaling 2:1)
Problems:
- Straightforward fixed point implementation can cause error +-1
compared to integer division (i.e. in x_step_q4). Should only
be an issue for frames larger than 16k.

This version of the loop filter supports non-4:2:0 subsampling and
a fourth plane, as well as changing the filtering order to be more
friendly to hardware implementations.
The filters are applied first to all vertical edges within the
64x64 SB, followed by the top horizontal edge and any internal
horizontal edges. Since filtering is applied on each 4x4 edge
serially, a dependency is created from filtering one block edge
to the next. It would be possible to remove this depencnecy by
building all filtering decisions from the unfiltered
reconstruction data.

This patch changes the coefficient tree to move the EOB to below
the ZERO node in order to save number of bool decodes.
The advantages of moving EOB one step down as opposed to two steps down
in the other parallel patch are: 1. The coef modeling based on
the One-node becomes independent of the tree structure above it, and
2. Fewer conext/counter increases are needed.
The drawback is that the potential savings in bool decodes will be
less, but assuming that 0s are much more predominant than 1's the
potential savings is still likely to be substantial.

Uses more aggrerssive interpolation to reduce storage for the

Besides, only 1 table is used as opposed to 2 before. So the overall

The recursive partition type search is enabled down to 4x4, 4x8 and

Replace vp9_kf_default_bmode_counts structure with

smaller and it removes the need to specify in the bitstream
how to convert the counts to probabilities.
Note that I have concerns still about the size and value of
the large intra mode context. This may cause problems for
HW but it also means we rely heavily on reverse update as
forwards update of a structure this size is problematic. I
intend to review this more generally in the next few days to
see if we can come up with a competitive solution that does
not rely on such a large context.

As part of this change I have also made some modifications

Some further changes will be required to accommodate the

and 4x8. Need to revise the rate-distortion parts to get these
two partition tested in the rd loop.

Change band calculation back to simpler model based
on the order in which coefficients are coded in scan order
not the absolute coefficient positions.
With the scatter scan experiment enabled the results were
appear broadly neutral on derf (-0.028) but up a little on std-hd +0.134).
Without the scatterscan experiment on the results were up derf as well.

Move set_partition_seg_context_ to common file. Use consistent
context setup conditions for partition probability model update at
encoder and decoder.

In current code, motion vectors got from single prediction mode are used
in compound prediction mode directly. These motion vectors may not give
accurate prediction since they are searched independently. In this patch,
we took Pascal's suggestion, and did joint motion search in compound
prediction mode to find better motion vectors in this situation.
Test results:
Overall PSNR: 0.570%(derf), 0.918%(stdhd);
SSIM: 0.572%(derf), 1.009%(stdhd);
The encoder is a little slower. This can be improved since some c
code is used in motion search.
