In binutils 2.29, the behavior of the ADR instruction changed so that 1 is
added to the address of a Thumb function (previously nothing was added). This
allows the loaded address to be passed to a BLX instruction and the correct
mode change will occur.
See: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21458
By using adr with a label that isn't annotated as a thumb function,
we avoid the new behaviour in binutils 2.29 and get the same behaviour
as in prior releases, and as in other assemblers (ms armasm.exe,
clang's built in assembler) - an idea that Janne Grunau came up with.

clang now (in the upcoming 5.0 version) is capable of building our
arm assembly without relying on gas-preprocessor, although clang/LLVM
doesn't support .dn register aliases.
The VC1 MC assembly was only built and used if the chosen assembler
supported the .dn directives though. This was supported as long as
gas-preprocessor was used.
This means that VC1 decoding got a speed regression on clang 5.0,
unless the user manually chose using gas-preprocessor again.
By avoiding using the .dn register aliases, we can build the VC1 MC
assembly with the latest clang version.
Support for the .dn/.qn directives in clang/LLVM isn't actively planned,
see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18199.

In the half/quarter cases where we don't use the min_eob array, defer
loading the pointer until we know it will be needed.
Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>
This reduces the number of lines and reduces the duplication.
Also simplify the eob check for the half case.
If we are in the half case, we know we at least will need to do the
first three slices, we only need to check eob for the fourth one,
so we can hardcode the value to check against instead of loading
from the min_eob array.
Since at most one slice can be skipped in the first pass, we can
unroll the loop for filling zeros completely, as it was done for
the quarter case before.
This allows skipping loading the min_eob pointer when using the
quarter/half cases.

All elements are used pairwise, except for the first one.
Previously, the 16th element was unused. Move the unused element
to the second slot, to make the later element pairs not split
across registers.
This simplifies loading only parts of the coefficients,

The idct32x32 function actually pushed q4-q7 onto the stack even
though it didn't clobber them; there are plenty of registers that
can be used to allow keeping all the idct coefficients in registers
without having to reload different subsets of them at different
stages in the transform.
Since the idct16 core transform avoids clobbering q4-q7 (but clobbers
q2-q3 instead, to avoid needing to back up and restore q4-q7 at all
in the idct16 function), and the lanewise vmul needs a register in
the q0-q3 range, we move the stored coefficients from q2-q3 into q4-q5
while doing idct16.
While keeping these coefficients in registers, we still can skip pushing
q7.

For this case, with 8 inputs but only changing 4 of them, we can fit
all 16 input pixels into a q register, and still have enough temporary
registers for doing the loop filter.
The wd=8 filters would require too many temporary registers for
processing all 16 pixels at once though.

The implementation tries to have smart handling of cases
where no pixels need the full filtering for the 8/16 width
filters, skipping both calculation and writeback of the
unmodified pixels in those cases. The actual effect of this
is hard to test with checkasm though, since it tests the
full filtering, and the benefit depends on how many filtered
blocks use the shortcut.

The speedup vs C code is around 2-6x. The numbers are quite
inconclusive though, since the checkasm test runs multiple filterings
on top of each other, so later rounds might end up with different
codepaths (different decisions on which filter to apply, based
on input pixel differences). Disabling the early-exit in the asm
doesn't give a fair comparison either though, since the C code
only does the necessary calcuations for each row.
Based on START_TIMER/STOP_TIMER wrapping around a few individual
functions, the speedup vs C code is around 4-9x.
This is pretty similar in runtime to the corresponding routines
in libvpx. (This is comparing vpx_lpf_vertical_16_neon,
vpx_lpf_horizontal_edge_8_neon and vpx_lpf_horizontal_edge_16_neon
to vp9_loop_filter_h_16_8_neon, vp9_loop_filter_v_16_8_neon
and vp9_loop_filter_v_16_16_neon - note that the naming of horizonal
and vertical is flipped between the libraries.)
In order to have stable, comparable numbers, the early exits in both
asm versions were disabled, forcing the full filtering codepath.

The filter coefficients are signed values, where the product of the
multiplication with one individual filter coefficient doesn't
overflow a 16 bit signed value (the largest filter coefficient is
127). But when the products are accumulated, the resulting sum can
overflow the 16 bit signed range. Instead of accumulating in 32 bit,
we accumulate the largest product (either index 3 or 4) last with a
saturated addition.
(The VP8 MC asm does something similar, but slightly simpler, by
accumulating each half of the filter separately. In the VP9 MC
filters, each half of the filter can also overflow though, so the
largest component has to be handled individually.)
