      improve average framerate calculation · f7e187d3
      John Koleszar authored
      Change Ice204e86 identified a problem with bitrate undershoot due to
      low precision in the timestamps passed to the library. This patch
      takes a different approach by calculating the duration of this frame
      and passing it to the library, rather than using a fixed duration
      and letting the library average it out with higher precision
      timestamps. This part of the fix only applies to vpxenc.
      
      This patch also attempts to fix the problem for generic applications
      that may have made the same mistake vpxenc did. Instead of
      calculating this frame's duration by the difference of this frame's
      and the last frame's start time, we use the end times instead. This
      allows the framerate calculation to scavenge "unclaimed" time from
      the last frame. For instance:
      
        start |  end  | calculated duration

      Add half-pixel variance RTCD functions · 209d82ad
      John Koleszar authored
      NEON has optimized 16x16 half-pixel variance functions, but they
      were not part of the RTCD framework. Add these functions to RTCD,
      so that other platforms can make use of this optimization in the
      future and special-case ARM code can be removed.
      
      A number of functions were taking two variance functions as
      parameters. These functions were changed to take a single
      parameter, a pointer to a struct containing all the variance
      functions for that block size. This provides additional flexibility
      for calling additional variance functions (the half-pixel special
      case, for example) and by initializing the table for all block sizes,
      we don't have to construct this function pointer table for each
      macroblock.

      Add runtime CPU detection support for ARM. · b71962fd
      Timothy B. Terriberry authored
      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.

      Convert [4][4] matrices to [16] arrays. · 8f75ea6b
      Timothy B. Terriberry authored
      Most of the code that actually uses these matrices indexes them as
       if they were a single contiguous array, and coverity produces
       reports about the resulting accesses that overflow the static
       bounds of the first row.
      This is perfectly legal in C, but converting them to actual [16]
       arrays should eliminate the report, and removes a good deal of
       extraneous indexing and address operators from the code.

      Move firstpass motion map to stats packet · bb7dd5b1
      John Koleszar authored
      The first implementation of the firstpass motion map for motion
      compensated temporal filtering created a file, fpmotionmap.stt,
      in the current working directory. This was not safe for multiple
      encoder instances. This patch merges this data into the first pass
      stats packet interface, so that it is handled like the other
      (numerical) firstpass stats.
      
      The new stats packet is defined as follows:
          Numerical Stats (16 doubles) -- 128 bytes
          Motion Map                   -- 1 byte / Macroblock
          Padding                      -- to align packet to 8 bytes
      
      The fpmotionmap.stt file can still be generated for debugging
      purposes in the same way that the textual version of the stats
      are available (defining OUTPUT_FPF in firstpass.c)

      when a subsequent frame is encoded as an alt reference frame, it is

      Centralize mb skip state calculation · 13685747
      John Koleszar authored
      This patch moves the scattered updates to the mb skip state
      (mode_info_context->mbmi.mb_skip_coeff) to vp8_tokenize_mb. Recent
      changes to the quantizer exposed a bug where if a macroblock
      could be coded as a skip but isn't, the encoder would run the
      loopfilter but the decoder wouldn't, causing a reference buffer
      mismatch.
      
      The loopfilter is controlled by a flag called dc_diff. The decoder
      looks at the number of decoded coefficients when setting this flag.
      The encoder sets this flag based on the skip state, since any
      skippable macroblock should be transmitted as a skip. The coefficient
      optimization pass (vp8_optimize_b()) could change the coefficients
      such that a block that was not a skip becomes one. The encoder was
      not updating the skip state in this situation for intra coded blocks.
      
      The underlying issue predates it, but this bug was recently triggered
      by enabling trellis quantization on the Y2 block in commit dcd29e36,
      and by changing the quantizer range control in commit 305be4e4.

      Added vp8_fast_quantize_b_sse2 · d860f685
      Scott LaVarnway authored
      Moved vp8_fast_quantize_b_sse from quantize_mmx.asm into
      quantize_sse2.asm and renamed.  Updated the assembly code to
      match the C version.

      optimize fast_quantizer c version · d338d14c
      Yaowu Xu authored
      As the zbin and rounding constants are normalized, rounding effectively
      does the zbinning, therefore the zbin operation can be removed. In
      addition, the memset on the two arrays are no longer necessary.

      nasm: address labels 'rel label' vice 'wrt rip' · 5cdc3a4c
      Jan Kratochvil authored
      nasm does not support `label wrt rip', it requires `rel label'. It is
      still fully compatible with yasm.
      
      Provide nasm compatibility. No binary change by this patch with yasm on
      {x86_64,i686}-fedora13-linux-gnu. Few longer opcodes with nasm on
      {x86_64,i686}-fedora13-linux-gnu have been checked as safe.

      nasm: match instruction length (movd/movq) to parameters · e114f699
      Jan Kratochvil authored
      nasm requires the instruction length (movd/movq) to match to its
      parameters. I find it more clear to really use 64bit instructions when
      we use 64bit registers in the assembly.
      
      Provide nasm compatibility. No binary change by this patch with yasm on
      {x86_64,i686}-fedora13-linux-gnu. Few longer opcodes with nasm on

      Tune effect of motion on KF/GF boost in two pass; · 788c0eb5
      Paul Wilkins authored
      This code adjust the impact of the amount and speed of motion
      on GF and KF boost.
      
      Sections with lots of slow motion will tend to have a
      somewhat bigger boost and sections with fast motion may
      have less.
      
      There is a knock on effect to the selection of the active
      quantizer range.
      
      This will likely require further tuning but helps with a couple
      of particularly bad edge cases.
