Masked ROMs are the silent killers of boot speed on devices without
memory-mapped SPI flash. They often contain awfully slow SPI drivers
(presumably bit-banged) that take hundreds of milliseconds to load our
bootblock, and every extra kilobyte of bootblock size has a hugely
disproportionate impact on boot speed. The coreboot timestamps can never
show that component, but it impacts our users all the same.
This patch tries to alleviate that issue a bit by allowing us to
compress the bootblock with LZ4, which can cut its size down to nearly
half. Of course, masked ROMs usually don't come with decompression
algorithms built in, so we need to introduce a little decompression stub
that can decompress the rest of the bootblock. This is done by creating
a new "decompressor" stage which runs before the bootblock, but includes
the compressed bootblock code in its data section. It needs to be as
small as possible to get a real benefit from this approach, which means
no device drivers, no console output, no exception handling, etc.
Besides the decompression algorithm itself we only include the timer
driver so that we can measure the boot speed impact of decompression. On
ARM and ARM64 systems, we also need to give SoC code a chance to
initialize the MMU, since running decompression without MMU is
prohibitively slow on these architectures.
This feature is implemented for ARM and ARM64 architectures for now,
although most of it is architecture-independent and it should be
relatively simple to port to other platforms where a masked ROM loads
the bootblock into SRAM. It is also supposed to be a clean starting
point from which later optimizations can hopefully cut down the
decompression stub size (currently ~4K on RK3399) a bit more.
NOTE: Bootblock compression is not for everyone. Possible side effects
include trying to run LZ4 on CPUs that come out of reset extremely
underclocked or enabling this too early in SoC bring-up and getting
frustrated trying to find issues in an undebuggable environment. Ask
your SoC vendor if bootblock compression is right for you.

For the coreboot license header, we want to use two paragraphs.
See the section 'Common License Header' in the coreboot wiki
for more details.

It encourages users from writing to the FSF without giving an address.
Linux also prefers to drop that and their checkpatch.pl (that we
imported) looks out for that.
This is the result of util/scripts/no-fsf-addresses.sh with no further
editing.

As per discussion with lawyers[tm], it's not a good idea to
shorten the license header too much - not for legal reasons
but because there are tools that look for them, and giving
them a standard pattern simplifies things.
However, we got confirmation that we don't have to update
every file ever added to coreboot whenever the FSF gets a
new lease, but can drop the address instead.
util/kconfig is excluded because that's imported code that
we may want to synchronize every now and then.

This patch has a basic structure of vboot2 integration. It supports only Nyans,
which have bootblock architecture and romstage architecture are
compatible from linker's perspective.

This patch changes the ENTRY() macro in asm.h to create a new section
for every assembler function, thus providing dcache_clean/invalidate_all
and friends with the same --gc-sections goodness that our C functions
have. This requires a few minor changes of moving around data (to make
sure it ends up in the right section) and changing some libgcc functions
(which apparently need to have two names?), but nothing serious.
(You may note that some of our assembly functions have data, sometimes
even writable, within the same .text section. This has been this way
before and I'm not looking to change it for now, although it's not
totally clean. Since we don't enforce read-only sections through paging,
it doesn't really hurt.)
BUG=None
TEST=Nyan and Snow still boot. Confirm dcache_invalidate_all is not
output into any binary anymore since no one actually uses it.

This patch switches every last part of Coreboot on ARM over to Thumb
mode: libpayload, the internal libgcc, and assorted assembly files. In
combination with the respective depthcharge patch, this will switch to
Thumb mode right after the entry point of the bootblock and not switch
back to ARM until the final assembly stub that jumps to the kernel.
The required changes to make this work include some new headers and
Makefile flags to handle assembly files (using the unified syntax and
the same helper macros as Linux), modifying our custom-written libgcc
code for 64-bit division to support Thumb (removing some stale old files
that were never really used for clarity), and flipping the general
CFLAGS to Thumb (some more cleanup there as well while I'm at it).
BUG=None
TEST=Snow and Nyan still boot.

The flags used to compile libgcc may make it incompatible with the code it's
linked against, and/or the hardware it's going to run on. Rather than try to
tease the right libgcc from the compiler, lets just leave it out and use our
own implementations of the necessary functions.
Most of these implementations were taken from the Linux kernel, except for
uldivmod.S which was taken from a CL originally written for U-Boot by
Che-Liang Chiou in December of 2010. It was modified to not use the CLZ
instruction on machines that don't have it, anything earlier than ARMv5. The
top block was taken from an earlier version of the same CL which didn't use
CLZ in that spot. The later block was written from scratch.
BUG=None
TEST=Built and booted into the bootblock on nyan. Ran a series of tests which
divided and modded a 64 bit value by various 32 bit values which were powers
of 2. Confirmed that this function was used and that the returned value was
correct. Printed decimal and hex versions of some values and verified that
they equaled each other. Built and booted on pit with serial enabled.

arm: Move libgcc assembly macros to arch/asm.h
libgcc/macros.h contains some useful assembly macros that are common in
Linux kernel code and facilitate things such as unified ARM/THUMB
assembly. This patch moves it to a more general place where it can be
used by other code as well.
BUG=None
TEST=Snow still boots.
