Various clean-ups to improve consistency and readability: drop unused
macro definitions, drop initialization of vars that are zero-initialized
from the base class, drop un-necessary casts.
Add encoder "tune" option to override the default behaviour that is to
favor maximum decoder compatibility at the expense of lower compression
ratios.
Expected tuning options to be developed are:
- "high-compression": improve compression, target best-in-class decoders;
- "low-latency": tune for low-latency decoding;
- "low-power": tune for encoding in low power / resources conditions.
Only expose the exact static set of supported rate-control properties
to the upper layer. For instance, if the GstVaapiEncoderXXX class does
only support CQP rate control, then only add it the the exposed enum
type.
Add helper macros and functions to build a GType for an enum subset.
Add gst_vaapi_encoder_set_keyframe_period() interface to allow the
user control the maximum distance between two keyframes. This new
property can only be set prior to gst_vaapi_encoder_set_codec_state().
A value of zero for "keyframe-period" gets it re-evaluated to the
actual framerate during encoder reconfiguration.
Improve codec reconfiguration to be performed only through a single
function. That is, remove the _set_context_info() hook as subclass
should not alter the parent GstVaapiContextInfo itself. Besides, the
VA context is constructed only at the final stages of reconfigure().
Add interface to communicate the encoder resolution and related info
like framerate, interlaced vs. progressive, etc. This new interface
supersedes gst_vaapi_encoder_set_format() and doesn't use any GstCaps
but rather use GstVideoCodecState.
Note that gst_vaapi_encoder_set_codec_state() is also a synchronization
point for codec config. This means that the encoder is reconfigured
there to match the latest properties.
Add interface to communicate configurable properties to the encoder.
This covers both the common ones (rate-control, bitrate), and the
codec specific properties.

Add gst_vaapi_encoder_set_bitrate() interface to allow the user control
the bitrate for encoding. Currently, changing this parameter is only
valid before the first frame is encoded. Should the value be modified
afterwards, then GST_VAAPI_ENCODER_STATUS_ERROR_OPERATION_FAILED is
returned.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719529
Add gst_vaapi_encoder_set_rate_control() interface to request a new
rate control mode for encoding. Changing the rate control mode is
only valid prior to encoding the very first frame. Afterwards, an
error ("operation-failed") is issued.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719529
Instal <gst/vaapi/gstvaapiutils_h264.h> header but only expose the
H.264 levels in there. The additional helper functions are meant
to be private for now.
Fix formts for various GST_DEBUG et al. invocations. More precisely,
make size_t arguments use the %zu format specifier accordingly; force
XID formats to be a 32-bit unsigned integer; and fix the format used
for gst_vaapi_create_surface_with_format() error cases since we have
been using strings nowadays.
The following helper functions are no longer used, thus are removed:
- gst_vaapi_video_format_from_structure()
- gst_vaapi_video_format_from_caps()
- gst_vaapi_video_format_to_caps()
Replace gst_vaapi_display_get_{decode,encode}_caps() APIs with more
more convenient APIs that return an array of GstVaapiProfile instead
of GstCaps: gst_vaapi_display_get_{decode,encode}_profiles().
Replace gst_vaapi_display_get_{image,subpicture}_caps() APIs, that
returned GstCaps, with more convenient APIs that return an array of
GstVideoFormat: gst_vaapi_display_get_{image,subpicture}_formats().
Fix display creation code to check that any display obtained from a
neighbour actually has the type we expect. Note: if display type is
set to "any", we can then accept any VA display type.
The GLTextureUploadMeta implementation assumed that for each upload()
sequence, the supplied texture id is always the same as the one that
was previously cached into the underlying GstVaapiTexture. Cope with
any texture id change the expense to recreate the underlying VA/GLX
resources.

Improve robustness when some expected packets where not received yet
or that were not correctly decoded. For example, don't try to decode
a picture if there was no valid frame headers parsed so far.

Conformance test Base_Ext_Main_profiles/BA3_SVA_C.264 complys with
extended profile specifications. However, the SPS header has the
constraint_set1_flag syntax element set to 1. This means that, if
a Main profile compliant decoder is available, then it should be
able to decode this stream.
This changes makes it possible to fall-back from Extended profile
to Main profile if constraint_set1_flag is set to 1.

The previous fix was only valid to express the maximum size of the
macroblock layer, i.e. without any headers. Now, also account for
the slice headers and top picture header, but also any other header
we might stuff into the VA coded buffer, e.g. sequence headers.
Fix coded buffer size for each codec. A generic issue was that the
number of macroblocks was incorrectly computed. The second issue was
specific to MPEG-2 were the max number of bits per macroblock, and
as defined by the standard, was incorrectly mapped to the (lower)
H.264 requirement. i.e. 4608 bits vs. 3200 bits limit.
Change get_context_info() into a set_context_info() function that
initializes common defaults into the base class, thus allowing the
subclasses to specialize the context info further on.
The set_context_info() hook is also the location where additional
context specific data could be initialized. At this point, we are
guaranteed to have valid video resolution size and framerate. i.e.
gst_vaapi_encoder_set_format() was called beforehand.
Clean public APIs up so that to better align with the decoder APIs.
Most importantly, gst_vaapi_encoder_get_buffer() is changed to only
return the VA coded buffer proxy. Also provide useful documentation
for the public APIs.
Kill GstVaapiEncoderSyncPic objects that are internally and temporarily
allocated. Rather, associate a GstVaapiEncPicture to a coded buffer
through GstVaapiCodedBufferProxy user-data facility.
Besides, use a GAsyncQueue to maintain a thread-safe queue object of
coded buffers.
Partial fix for the following report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719530
Fix the GstVaapiEncoderClass parent class type. Make sure to validate
subclass hooks as early as possible, i.e. in gst_vaapi_encoder_init(),
thus avoiding useless run-time checks. Also simplify the subclass
initialization process to be less error prone.
Refactor the GstVaapiCodedBuffer APIs so that to more clearly separate
public and private interfaces. Besides, the map/unmap APIs should not
be exposed as is but appropriate accessors should be provided instead.
* GstVaapiCodedBuffer: VA coded buffer abstraction
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_get_size(): get coded buffer size.
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_copy_into(): copy coded buffer into GstBuffer
* GstVaapiCodedBufferPool: pool of VA coded buffer objects
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_pool_new(): create a pool of coded buffers of
the specified max size, and bound to the supplied encoder
* GstVaapiCodedBufferProxy: pool-allocated VA coded buffer object proxy
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_new_from_pool(): create coded buf from pool
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_get_buffer(): get underlying coded buffer
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_get_buffer_size(): get coded buffer size
Rationale: more optimized transfer functions might be provided in the
future, thus rendering the map/unmap mechanism obsolete or sub-optimal.

Add gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_copy() function that creates a new surface
proxy with the same information from the parent proxy, except that the
user-defined destroy notify function is not copied over.
The underlying VA surface is pushed back to the video pool only when
the last reference to the parent surface proxy is released.
Optimize gst_vaapiencode_handle_frame() to avoid extra memory allocation,
and in particular the GstVaapiEncObjUserData object. i.e. directly use
the VA surface proxy from the source buffer. This also makes the user
data attached to the GstVideoCodecFrame more consistent between both
the decoder and encoder plug-in elements.
Add gst_buffer_new_allocate() and gst_buffer_fill() implementations.

Fix deinterlacing flags to make more sense. The TFF (top-field-first)
flag is meant to specify the organization of reference frames used in
advanced deinterlacing modes. Introduce the more explicit flag TOPFIELD
to specify that the top-field of the supplied input surface is to be
used for deinterlacing. Conversely, if not set, this means that the
bottom field of the supplied input surface will be used instead.
Add a couple of helper functions:
- gst_vaapi_filter_has_operation(): checks whether the VA driver
advertises support for the supplied operation ;
- gst_vaapi_filter_use_operation(): checks whether the supplied
operation was already enabled to its non-default value.
The user-defined destroy notify function is meant to be called only when
the surface proxy was fully released, i.e. once it actually released the
VA surface back to the underlying pool.
Fix GstVaapiPicture, GstVaapiSlice and GstVaapiSurfaceProxy initialization

Fix calculation of MCU count for image sizes that are not a multiple
of 8 pixels in either dimension, but also for non-common sampling
factors like 4:2:2 in non-interleaved mode.
Add support for images with multiple scans per frame. The Huffman table
can be updated before SOS, and thus possibly requiring multiple uploads
of Huffman tables to the VA driver. So, the latter must be able to cope
with multiple VA buffers of type 'huffman-table' and with the correct
sequential order.
Improve robustness when some expected packets where not received yet
or that were not correctly decoded. For example, don't try to decode
a picture if there was no valid frame headers.
Improve debugging and error messages. Rename a few variables to fit the
existing naming conventions. Change some fatal asserts to non-fatal
error codes.
Split the input buffer data into decoder units that represent a JPEG
segment. Handle scan decoder unit specifically so that it can include
both the scan header (SOS) but also any other ECS or RSTi segment.
That way, we parse the input buffer stream only once at the gst-vaapi
level instead of (i) in gst_vaapi_decoder_jpeg_parse() to split the

As a last resort, if video processing capabilities (VPP) are not available,
or they did not produce anything conclusive enough, then try to fallback to
the original rendering code path whereby the whole VA surface is rendered
as is, no matter of video cropping or deinterlacing requests.
Note: under those conditions, the visual outcome won't be correct but at
least, something gets displayed instead of bailing out.
Try to use VA/VPP processing capabilities to handle video cropping and
additional rendering flags that may not be directly supported by the
underlying hardware when exposing a suitable Wayland buffer for the
supplied VA surface. e.g. deinterlacing, different color primaries than
BT.601, etc.
Update the frame redraw infrastructure with a new FrameState stucture
holds all the necessary information used to display the next pending
surface.
While we are at it, delay the sync operation down to when it is actually
needed. That way, we keep performing additional tasks meanwhile.
Disable video cropping in MPEG-2 codec because it is partially implemented
and actually because nobody implements it that way, and the standard spec
does not specify the display process either anyway.
Most notably, there are two possible use cases for sequence_display_extension()
horizontal_display_size & vertical_display_size: (i) guesstimating the
pixel-aspect-ratio, or (ii) implement some kind of span & scan process
in conjunction with picture_display_extension() information.
