    armv6: Accelerate ff_imdct_half for general case (mdct_bits != 6) · 5c22e8e4
    Ben Avison authored
    The previous implementation targeted DTS Coherent Acoustics, which only
    requires mdct_bits == 6. This relatively small size lent itself to
    unrolling the loops a small number of times, and encoding offsets
    calculated at assembly time within the load/store instructions of each
    iteration.
    
    In the more general case (codecs such as AAC and AC3) much larger arrays
    are used - mdct_bits == [8, 9, 11]. The old method does not scale for
    these cases, so more integer registers are used with non-unrolled versions
    of the loops (and with some stack spillage). The postrotation filter loop
    is still unrolled by a factor of 2 to permit the double-buffering of some
    VFP registers to facilitate overlap of neighbouring iterations.
    
    I benchmarked the result by measuring the number of gperftools samples
    that hit anywhere in the AAC decoder (starting from aac_decode_frame())
    or specifically in ff_imdct_half_c / ff_imdct_half_vfp, for the same
    example AAC stream:
    
                      Before          After
                      Mean   StdDev   Mean   StdDev  Confidence  Change
    aac_decode_frame  2368.1 35.8     2117.2 35.3    100.0%      +11.8%
    ff_imdct_half_*   457.5  22.4     251.2  16.2    100.0%      +82.1%
