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.

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 code was not checking for frame sizes smaller than 3 bytes, and the
partition size checks might have failed if the input buffer was within
16MB of the top of the heap.
In addition, the reference count on the current frame buffer was not
being decremented on error, so after a small number of errors, no new
frame buffer could be found and it would run off the list of them.

On each MB, loopfiltering is done right after MB decoding. This
combines two loops in multi-threaded code into one, which reduces
number of synchronizations to half.
The above-row/left-col data are saved in temp buffers for
next-row/next MB decoding.
Tests on 4-core gLucid machine showed 10% decoder performance
gain with threads=4 (tulip clip). Testing on other platforms
isn't done yet.

Changes 'The VP8 project' to 'The WebM project', for consistency
with other webmproject.org repositories.
Fixes issue #97.
Change-Id: I37c13ed5fbdb9d334ceef71c6350e9febed9bbba
adds a compile time option: --enable-arm-asm-detok which pulls in
vp8/decoder/arm/detokenize.asm
currently about break even speed wise, but changes are pending to
the fill code (branch and load 3 bytes versus conditionally always
load one) and the error handling. Currently it doesn't handle zero
runs or overrunning the buffer.
this is really just so i don't have to rebase my changes all the
time to run benchmarks - now just need to replace one file!

This is the first modification of VP8 multi-thread decoder, which uses
same threads to decode macroblocks and then do loopfiltering for each
frame.
Inspired by Rob Clark, synchronization was done on every 8 macroblocks
instead of every macroblock to reduce lock contention.
Comparing with the original code, this implementation gave about 15%-
20% performance gain while decoding my test clips on a Core2 Quad
platform (Linux).
The work is not done yet.
Test on other platforms are needed.

At the end of the decode, frame buffers were being copied.
The frames are not updated after the copy, they are just
for reference on later frames. This change allows multiple
references to the same frame buffer instead of copying it.
Changes needed to be made to the encoder to handle this. The
encoder is still doing frame buffer copies in similar places
where pointer reference could be done.

Change I9fd1a5a4 updated the multithreaded loopfilter to avoid
reinitializing several parameteres if they haven't changed from the
last frame, but the code to update the last frame's parameters wasn't
invoked in the multithreaded case.

When the license headers were updated, they accidentally contained
trailing whitespace, so unfortunately we have to touch all the files
again.
