rebased.
This patch includes 16x16 butterfly inverse ADST/DCT hybrid
transform. It uses the variant ADST of kernel
sin((2k+1)*(2n+1)/4N),
which allows a butterfly implementation.
The coding gains as compared to DCT 16x16 are about 0.1% for
both derf and std-hd. It is noteworthy that for std-hd sets
many sequences gains about 0.5%, some 0.2%. There are also few
points that provides -1% to -3% performance. Hence the average
goes to about 0.1%.

The commit changes the coding mode to lossless whenever the lowest
quantizer is choosen.
As expected, test results showed no difference for cif and std-hd
set where Q0 is rarely used. For yt and yt-hd set, Q0 is used for
a number of clips, where this commit helped a lot in the high end.
Average over all clips in the sets:
yt: 2.391% 1.017% 1.066%
hd: 1.937% .764% .787%

Since there is no Y2, these values are always zero. This changes the
bitstream results slightly, hence a separate commit.

These allow sending partial bitstream packets over the network before
encoding a complete frame is completed, thus lowering end-to-end
latency. The tile-rows are not independent.

Since addition of the larger-scale transforms (16x16, 32x32), these
don't give a benefit at macroblock-sizes anymore. At superblock-sizes,
2nd-order transform was never used over the larger transforms. Future
work should test whether there is a benefit for that use case.

This patch abstracts the selection of the coefficient band
context into a function as a precursor to further experiments
with the coefficient context.
It also removes the large per TX size coefficient band structures
and uses a single matrix for all block sizes within the test function.
This may have an impact on quality (results to follow) but is only an
intermediate step in the process of redefining the context. Also the
quality impact will be larger initially because the default tables will
be out of step with the new banding.
In particular the 4x4 will in this case only use 7 bands. If needed we
can add back block size dependency localized within the function, but
this can follow on after the other changes to the definition of the
context.

This is an initial step to facilitate experimentation
with changes to the prior token context used to code
coefficients to take better account of the energy of
preceding tokens.
This patch merely abstracts the selection of context into
two functions and does not alter the output.

1. Added a bit in frame header to to indicate if a frame is encoded
in lossless mode, so decoder does not make the decision based on Q0
2. Minor changes to make sure that lossy coding works same as when
the lossless experiment is not enabled.
3. Renamed function pointers for transforms to be consistent, using
prefix fwd_txm and inv_txm for forward and inverse respectively
To encode in lossless mode, using "--lossless=1 --min-q=0 --max-q=0"
with vpxenc.

Initial ssse3 convolve avg functions and is one step closer
to using x86inc.asm. The decoder performance improved by 8% for
the test clip used. This should be revisited later to see if
averaging outside the loop is better than having many similar
filter functions.

Also port the 4x4, 16x16, 8x16 and 16x8 versions to x86inc.asm; this
makes them all slightly faster, particularly on x86-64. Remove SSE3
sad16x16 version, since the SSE2 version is now faster.
About 1.5% overall encoding speedup.

Restore SSSE3 subpixel filters in new convolve framework
Convert subpixel filters to use convolve framework
Add 8-tap generic convolver

This commit adds the 8 tap SSSE3 subpixel filters back into the code
underneath the convolve API. The C code is still called for 4x4
blocks, as well as compound prediction modes. This restores the
encode performance to be within about 8% of the baseline.

Refactor the 8x8 inverse hybrid transform. It is now consistent
with the new inverse DCT. Overall performance loss (due to the
use of this variant ADST, and the rounding errors in the butterfly
implementation) for std-hd is -0.02.
Fixed BUILD warning.
Devise a variant of the original ADST, which allows butterfly
computation structure. This new transform has kernel of the
form: sin((2k+1)*(2n+1) / (4N)). One of its butterfly structures
using floating-point multiplications was reported in Z. Wang,
"Fast algorithms for the discrete W transform and for the discrete
Fourier transform", IEEE Trans. on ASSP, 1984.
This patch includes the butterfly implementation of the inverse
ADST/DCT hybrid transform of dimension 8x8.

This patch adds column-based tiling. The idea is to make each tile
independently decodable (after reading the common frame header) and
also independendly encodable (minus within-frame cost adjustments in
the RD loop) to speed-up hardware & software en/decoders if they used
multi-threading. Column-based tiling has the added advantage (over
other tiling methods) that it minimizes realtime use-case latency,
since all threads can start encoding data as soon as the first SB-row
worth of data is available to the encoder.
There is some test code that does random tile ordering in the decoder,
to confirm that each tile is indeed independently decodable from other
tiles in the same frame. At tile edges, all contexts assume default
values (i.e. 0, 0 motion vector, no coefficients, DC intra4x4 mode),
and motion vector search and ordering do not cross tiles in the same
frame.
t log
Tile independence is not maintained between frames ATM, i.e. tile 0 of
frame 1 is free to use motion vectors that point into any tile of frame
0. We support 1 (i.e. no tiling), 2 or 4 column-tiles.
The loopfilter crosses tile boundaries. I discussed this briefly with Aki
and he says that's OK. An in-loop loopfilter would need to do some sync
between tile threads, but that shouldn't be a big issue.
Resuls: with tiling disabled, we go up slightly because of improved edge
use in the intra4x4 prediction. With 2 tiles, we lose about ~1% on derf,
~0.35% on HD and ~0.55% on STD/HD. With 4 tiles, we lose another ~1.5%
on derf ~0.77% on HD and ~0.85% on STD/HD. Most of this loss is
concentrated in the low-bitrate end of clips, and most of it is because
of the loss of edges at tile boundaries and the resulting loss of intra
predictors.
TODO:
- more tiles (perhaps allow row-based tiling also, and max. 8 tiles)?
- maybe optionally (for EC purposes), motion vectors themselves
should not cross tile edges, or we should emulate such borders as
if they were off-frame, to limit error propagation to within one
tile only. This doesn't have to be the default behaviour but could
be an optional bitstream flag.

Update the code to call the new convolution functions to do subpixel
prediction rather than the existing functions. Remove the old C and
assembly code, since it is unused. This causes a 50% performance
reduction on the decoder, but that will be resolved when the asm for
the new functions is available.
There is no consensus for whether 6-tap or 2-tap predictors will be
supported in the final codec, so these filters are implemented in
terms of the 8-tap code, so that quality testing of these modes
can continue. Implementing the lower complexity algorithms is a
simple exercise, should it be necessary.
This code produces slightly better results in the EIGHTTAP_SMOOTH
case, since the filter is now applied in only one direction when
the subpel motion is only in one direction. Like the previous code,
the filtering is skipped entirely on full-pel MVs. This combination
seems to give the best quality gains, but this may be indicative of a
bug in the encoder's filter selection, since the encoder could
achieve the result of skipping the filtering on full-pel by selecting
one of the other filters. This should be revisited.
Quality gains on derf positive on almost all clips. The only clip
that seemed to be hurt at all datarates was football
(-0.115% PSNR average, -0.587% min). Overall averages 0.375% PSNR,
0.347% SSIM.

This commit introduces a new convolution function which will be used to
replace the existing subpixel interpolation functions. It is much the
same as the existing functions, but allows for changing the filter
kernel on a per-pixel basis, and doesn't bake in knowledge of the
filter to be applied or the size of the resulting block into the
function name.
Replacing the existing subpel filters will come in a later commit.
