2015-07-09libpayload: Add LZ4 decompression algorithmJulius Werner
This patch adds support for the LZ4 decompression algorithm to libpayload. It's what all the cool kids are using for decompression these days and has many interesting advantages over LZMA (and everything else I know of): blazing fast decompression (20(!) times faster than LZMA, twice as fast as LZO on my Cortex-A72), no memory requirements on decompression, and possibly in-place decompression support. It pays for that with a lower compression ratio (about 50% larger compressed size than LZMA, 10% larger than LZO for an ARM64 Linux kernel binary), but the boot time math still works in its favor for our IO speeds. This patch only adds the raw decompression functions for use by external payloads, we can later try integrating them in CBFS. It copies the decompression code itself unmodified from the upstream LZ4 library at github.com/Cyan4973/lz4 which will hopefully make it easy to update. The frame format parsing is reimplemented since the upstream version looks unnecessarily complex and unreadable for our needs. BRANCH=smaug BUG=chrome-os-partner:32184 TEST=With other patches, booted ARM64 kernel that got compressed from 15M to 5.1M and decompresses in 44ms.

2015-01-09libpayload: Introduce new Kconfig to explicitly allow GPL codeJulius Werner
There have been leaks of GPL code into libpayload for a while now, for new features or improvements that require third party code with no adequate alternative among BSD-licensed software. It seems silly and counter-productive to keep holding back features and performance improvements from libpayload for a use-case (proprietary payloads) that doesn't even seem to be implemented anywhere to date. Open-source payloads should not need to suffer to appease commercial ones. Instead, this patch introduces a new Kconfig option to explicitly allow inclusion of GPL code. It will use Kconfig dependencies and/or Makefile rules to ensure that no GPL code can end up in the final payload if that option is unset, allowing proprietary payloads to keep working with the existing BSD-licensed feature set. New features and patches (that are sufficiently separate and self-contained to allow guarding through this config option) can choose whether to import GPL code, and need to depend on this option if they do. Also clean up all (known) existing uses of GPL code to depend on the new option, add some recent third-party imports to the LICENSES file, and relicense the selfboot.c files to BSD with permission of the author. BUG=chrome-os-partner:24957 TEST=Compiled Falco and Nyan_Big both with and without the new option, disassembled output binaries to ensure that memcpy() looks as expected.

while others dislike them being extra commits, let's clean them up once and for all for the existing code.
