Kacper Michajłow f9110f2a49 avcodec/h264dec: decode late SEI before finishing frame threading setup
SEI NAL units following the last VCL NAL unit start a new access unit,
but some files keep them in the same packet as the preceding picture,
e.g. YouTube encodes carry an unregistered user data SEI after the slice
data. With frame threading such SEI was skipped and a "Late SEI is not
implemented" warning was printed for every affected packet, because the
SEI context is copied to the next frame thread in
ff_h264_update_thread_context() and must not be modified after
ff_thread_finish_setup(). Single threaded decoding decoded the SEI and
kept its persistent state, like the alternative transfer characteristics
or the x264 build, for the following pictures.

Decode such SEI right before finishing the setup instead. The current
picture is already set up at this point, so the SEI does not apply to
it, matching the single threaded behavior.

Michael Niedermayer 51903077f7 avcodec/h264dec: decode only metadata when prediction and IDCT are discarded
When skip_pred and skip_idct are both AVDISCARD_ALL, no pixel of any
frame is wanted, and since slices are self-contained NAL units the
macroblock layer is not needed to stay in sync with the bitstream.
Parse only the slice headers, run the reference and DPB bookkeeping
and output frames with valid metadata and uninitialized pixels.

Error resilience, film grain synthesis, the gray fill of frames
synthesized for frame_num gaps and of chroma planes for CODEC_FLAG_GRAY
and the duplication of a missing field write or read pixels, so all of
them are disabled in this mode. The mode is not entered with
AV_CODEC_FLAG2_CHUNKS, whose frame completion tracking needs the
macroblock position of the decoded slices, nor when error detection,
motion vector export, video encoding parameter export or macroblock
debugging is requested, as these need the slice data the mode does not
parse.

guy-with-a-why e13b837091 avcodec/h264: derive nC for partitioned constrained-intra slices
An inter neighbour must not contribute its coefficient count to nC for
an intra macroblock when constrained intra prediction and data
partitioning are both in use; otherwise decoding partitions A and B
alone would depend on data that lives in partition C.

The neighbour is kept available with nN = 0, which is what JM does and
what the streams it produces expect. FF_BUG_H264_DP_NNZ selects that
and is autodetected on the first partition A, while -bug 0 drops the
neighbour from the average as 9.2.1 has it. Streams without data
partitioning decode identically either way.

This replaces a FIXME older than any data partitioning support.

guy-with-a-why 0e00e1b3d8 avcodec/h264: decode slice data partitions B and C
Syntax elements of category 2 stay in partition A, category 3 (intra
residual) moves to partition B and category 4 (inter residual) to
partition C, so CAVLC has to read the residual of each macroblock from
the partition that matches its type. A partition that never arrived is
reported instead of being read from A.

B and C are taken from the NAL units immediately following their A and
matched to it by slice_id. Arbitrary slice order may separate them
(7.4.1.2.5); that is not supported, and such a stream reports the
missing partition instead. Attaching runs while the slice is queued,
before any slice is executed, so no partition can arrive too late to
be used. ff_h264_queue_decode_slice() reports which context it queued,
as a slice opening a second field is moved into slot zero once the
pending field has been decoded.

Attaching and routing land together on purpose: enabling the partition
A path on its own would decode partitioned streams incorrectly instead
of reporting them unsupported. hwaccel formats are not offered for a
partitioned picture and CODEC_FLAG2_CHUNKS is refused, as both assume
one self-contained slice NAL.

Andreas Rheinhardt 952a32e9a0 avcodec/mpegutils: Don't output wrong mb skip values
The earlier code had two problems:
1. For reference frames that are not directly output (happens unless
low_delay is set), the mb skip values referred to the next reference
frame to be decoded.
2. For non-reference frames, every macroblock was always considered
skipped.
This makes the output (worse than) useless; that no one ever
complained about this shows that this feature is not really used.
It is therefore removed.

Andreas Rheinhardt 2b46ae6407 avcodec/codec_internal: Remove FF_CODEC_CAP_ALLOCATE_PROGRESS
Before commit f025b8e110,
every frame-threaded decoder used ThreadFrames, even when
they did not have any inter-frame dependencies at all.
In order to distinguish those decoders that need the AVBuffer
for progress communication from those that do not (to avoid
the allocation for the latter), the former decoders were marked
with the FF_CODEC_CAP_ALLOCATE_PROGRESS internal codec cap.

Yet distinguishing these two can be done in a more natural way:
Don't use ThreadFrames when not needed and split ff_thread_get_buffer()
into a core function that calls the user's get_buffer2 callback
and a wrapper around it that also allocates the progress AVBuffer.
This has been done in 02220b88fc
and since that commit the ALLOCATE_PROGRESS cap was nearly redundant.

The only exception was WebP and VP8. WebP can contain VP8
and uses the VP8 decoder directly (i.e. they share the same
AVCodecContext). Both decoders are frame-threaded and VP8
has inter-frame dependencies (in general, not in valid WebP)
and therefore the ALLOCATE_PROGRESS cap. In order to avoid
allocating progress in case of a frame-threaded WebP decoder
the cap and the check for the cap has been kept in place.

Yet now the VP8 decoder has been switched to use ProgressFrames
and therefore there is just no reason any more for this check
and the cap. This commit therefore removes both.

Also change the value of FF_CODEC_CAP_USES_PROGRESSFRAMES
to leave no gaps.

When decoding starts at a SEI recovery point very shortly before the
end of the video stream, there can be frames which are decoded before
the recovery point's frame is output and which will only be output once
the draining has started. Previously, these frames would never be set

to send_next_delayed_frame to properly mark such frames as recovered.

Andreas Rheinhardt fa77cb258b avcodec/h264dec: Fix data race when updating decode_error_flags
When using multi-threaded decoding, every decoding thread
has its own DBP consisting of H264Pictures and each of these
points to its own AVFrames. They are synced during
update_thread_context via av_frame_ref() and therefore
the threads actually decoding (as well as all the others)
must not modify any field that is copied by av_frame_ref()
after ff_thread_finish_setup().

Yet this is exactly what happens when an error occurs
during decoding and the AVFrame's decode_error_flags are updated.
Given that these errors only become apparent during decoding,
this can't be set before ff_thread_finish_setup() without
defeating the point of frame-threading; in practice,
this meant that the decoder did not set these flags correctly
in case frame-threading was in use. (This means that e.g.
the ffmpeg cli tool fails to output its "corrupt decoded frame"
message in a nondeterministic fashion.)

This commit fixes this by adding a new H264Picture field
that is actually propagated across threads; the field
is an AVBufferRef* whose data is an atomic_int; it is
atomic in order to allow multiple threads to update it
concurrently and not to provide synchronization
between the threads setting the field and the thread
ultimately returning the AVFrame.

This unfortunately has the overhead of one allocation
per H264Picture (both the original one as well as
creating a reference to an existing one), even in case
of no errors. In order to mitigate this, an AVBufferPool
has been used and only if frame-threading is actually
in use. This expense will be removed as soon as
a proper API for refcounted objects (not based upon
AVBuffer) is in place.
