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.

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.
[Tero] Added needed changes to ARM side.

Added ARM optimized intra 4x4 prediction
- 2x faster on Profiler compared to C-code compiled with -O3
- Function interface changed a little to improve BLOCKD structure
access

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)
into this commit because of similarities in the idct
functions.
Patch Set 7: EC bug fix.

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!

Renamed configure option "enable-psnr" to "enable-internal-stats" to
better reflect the purpose of the option and eliminate the confusion

Detect the number of available cores and limit the thread allocation
accordingly. On decoder side limit the number of threads to the max
number of token partition.
Core detetction works on Windows and
Posix platforms, which define _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN or _SC_NPROC_ONLN.

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.

Change color reference frame to blend the macro block edge.
This helps with layering of visualizations.
Add block coloring for intra prediction modes.

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.

Turned down the blending level to make colored blocks obscure
the video less.
Not blending the entire block to give distinction to macro
block edges.
Added configuration so that macro block blending function can
be optimized.
Change to constrain line as to when dx and dy are computed.
Now draw two lines to form an arrow.

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.
Change-Id: I04273149e2ade34749e2d09e7edb0c396e1dd620
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.

Changes 'The VP8 project' to 'The WebM project', for consistency
with other webmproject.org repositories.
Fixes issue #97.

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.

This moves the prediction step before the idct and combines the idct and
reconstruction steps into a single step. Combining them seems to give an
overall decoder performance improvement of about 1%.

When the license headers were updated, they accidentally contained
