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.

A processor with ARMv7 instructions does not
necessarily have NEON dsp extensions. This CL
has the added side effect of allowing the ability
to enable/disable the dsp extensions cleanly.

These functions are now used by the encoder.
This is WIP with the goal of creating a common idct/add for
the encoder and decoder. A boost of 1.8% was seen for
the HD rt test clip used.

to the dqcoeff or qcoeff buffer. The encoder would
populate the dc coeffs of the y blocks as a separate
stage (recon_dcblock) and the decoder would use a special
version of the idct. This change eliminates the extra copy
and reduces the code footprint.
[Tero] Added needed changes to armv6 and NEON assembly.

Instead of using the predict buffer, the decoder now writes
the predictor into the recon buffer. For blocks with eob=0,
unnecessary idcts can be eliminated. This gave a performance
boost of ~1.8% for the HD clips used.
Tero: Added needed changes to ARM side and scheduled some
assembly code to prevent interlocks.
Patch Set 6: Merged (I1bcdca7a95aacc3a181b9faa6b10e3a71ee24df3)

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.

The vp8_build_intra_predictors_mby and vp8_build_intra_predictors_mby_s
functions had global function pointers rather than using the RTCD
framework. This can show up as a potential data race with tools such as
helgrind. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640935
for an example.

Adds following targets to configure script to support RVCT compilation
without operating system support (for Profiler or bare metal images).
- armv5te-none-rvct
- armv6-none-rvct
- armv7-none-rvct
To strip OS specific parts from the code "os_support"-config was added
to script and CONFIG_OS_SUPPORT flag is used in the code to exclude OS
specific parts such as OS specific includes and function calls for
timers and threads etc. This was done to enable RVCT compilation for
profiling purposes or running the image on bare metal target with
Lauterbach.
Removed separate AREA directives for READONLY data in armv6 and neon
assembly files to fix the RVCT compilation. Otherwise
"ldr <reg>, =label" syntax would have been needed to prevent linker
errors. This syntax is not supported by older gnu assemblers.

This eliminates a large set of warnings exposed by the Mozilla build
system (Use of C++ comments in ISO C90 source, commas at the end of
enum lists, a couple incomplete initializers, and signed/unsigned
comparisons).
It also eliminates many (but not all) of the warnings expose by newer
GCC versions and _FORTIFY_SOURCE (e.g., calling fread and fwrite
without checking the return values).
There are a few spurious warnings left on my system:
../vp8/encoder/encodemb.c:274:9: warning: 'sz' may be used
uninitialized in this function
gcc seems to be unable to figure out that the value shortcut doesn't
change between the two if blocks that test it here.
../vp8/encoder/onyx_if.c:5314:5: warning: comparison of unsigned
expression >= 0 is always true
../vp8/encoder/onyx_if.c:5319:5: warning: comparison of unsigned
expression >= 0 is always true
This is true, so far as it goes, but it's comparing against an enum, and the C
standard does not mandate that enums be unsigned, so the checks can't be
removed.

ARM NEON has a platform specific version of vp8_recon16x16mb, though
it's just a stub to extract the various parameters from the
MACROBLOCKD struct and pass them to vp8_recon16x16mb_neon(). Using
that function's prototype directly will be a better long term solution,
but it's quite an invasive change.

Some of the ARM functions differed from their generic counterparts
only by unrolling their loops. Since this change may be useful
on other platforms, or might even supercede the looped version
in the generic case, move it back to the generic file.
This code is left under #if ARCH_ARM for now, but it may be worth
considering a different (possibly new) conditional for these. If
it turns out that this should be runtime selectable, these
functions will have to move to the RTCD infrastructure. Don't want
to take that step at this time without more profile data.

These functions were true duplicates of functions present in the
generic code. This fixes some of the link errors when building
with --enable-shared --enable-pic.

there were four versions for the regular and
macroblock loopfilters:
horizontal [y|uv]
vertical [y|uv]
this moves all the common code into 2 functions:
vp8_loop_filter_neon
vp8_mbloop_filter_neon
this provides no gain in performance. there's a bit
of jitter, but it trends down ~0.25-0.5%. however,
this is a huge gain maintenance. also, there is the
potential to drop some stack usage in the macroblock
loopfilter.

The primary goal is to allow a binary to be built which supports
NEON, but can fall back to non-NEON routines, since some Android
devices do not have NEON, even if they are otherwise ARMv7 (e.g.,
Tegra).
The configure-generated flags HAVE_ARMV7, etc., are used to decide
which versions of each function to build, and when
CONFIG_RUNTIME_CPU_DETECT is enabled, the correct version is chosen
at run time.
In order for this to work, the CFLAGS must be set to something
appropriate (e.g., without -mfpu=neon for ARMv7, and with
appropriate -march and -mcpu for even earlier configurations), or
the native C code will not be able to run.
The ASFLAGS must remain set for the most advanced instruction set
required at build time, since the ARM assembler will refuse to emit
them otherwise.
I have not attempted to make any changes to configure to do this
automatically.
Doing so will probably require the addition of new configure options.
Many of the hooks for RTCD on ARM were already there, but a lot of
the code had bit-rotted, and a good deal of the ARM-specific code
is not integrated into the RTCD structs at all.
I did not try to resolve the latter, merely to add the minimal amount
of protection around them to allow RTCD to work.
Those functions that were called based on an ifdef at the calling
site were expanded to check the RTCD flags at that site, but they
should be added to an RTCD struct somewhere in the future.
The functions invoked with global function pointers still are, but
these should be moved into an RTCD struct for thread safety (I
believe every platform currently supported has atomic pointer
stores, but this is not guaranteed).
The encoder's boolhuff functions did not even have _c and armv7
suffixes, and the correct version was resolved at link time.
The token packing functions did have appropriate suffixes, but the
version was selected with a define, with no associated RTCD struct.
However, for both of these, the only armv7 instruction they actually
used was rbit, and this was completely superfluous, so I reworked
them to avoid it.
The only non-ARMv4 instruction remaining in them is clz, which is
ARMv5 (not even ARMv5TE is required).
Considering that there are no ARM-specific configs which are not at
least ARMv5TE, I did not try to detect these at runtime, and simply
enable them for ARMv5 and above.
Finally, the NEON register saving code was completely non-reentrant,
since it saved the registers to a global, static variable.
I moved the storage for this onto the stack.
A single binary built with this code was tested on an ARM11 (ARMv6)
and a Cortex A8 (ARMv7 w/NEON), for both the encoder and decoder,
and produced identical output, while using the correct accelerated
functions on each.
I did not test on any earlier processors.

The existing code applied a 6-tap filter with 0's on either end.
We're already paying the branch penalty to avoid computing the two
extra columns needed as input to this filter.
We might as well save time computing the filter as well.
This reduces the inner loop from 21 instructions to 16, the number
of loads per iteration from 4 to 1, and the number of multiplies
from 7 to 4.
The gain in overall decoding performance, however, is small (less
than 1%).
This change also means we now valgrind clean on ARMv6, which is
its real purpose.
The errors reported here were valgrind's fault (it does not detect
that 0 times an uninitialized value is initialized), but Julian
Seward says it would slow down valgrind considerably to make such
checks.
Speeding up libvpx rather, even by a small amount, seems a much
better idea if only to enable proper valgrind checking of the
rest of the codec.

Remove the dependency on postproc.c for the encoder in general, the only
unchecked need for it is when CONFIG_PSNR is enabled. All other cases
are already wrapped in CONFIG_POSTPROC. In the CONFIG_PSNR case the file
will still be included.
Additionally, when VP8_SET_POSTPROC is used with the encoder when post
processing has been disabled an error will be returned.
This addresses issue #153.
