2020-01-28	commonlib: Add commonlib/bsd	Julius Werner
	This patch creates a new commonlib/bsd subdirectory with a similar purpose to the existing commonlib, with the difference that all files under this subdirectory shall be licensed under the BSD-3-Clause license (or compatible permissive license). The goal is to allow more code to be shared with libpayload in the future. Initially, I'm going to move a few files there that have already been BSD-licensed in the existing commonlib. I am also exracting most contents of the often-needed <commonlib/helpers.h> as long as they have either been written by me (and are hereby relicensed) or have an existing equivalent in BSD-licensed libpayload code. I am also relicensing <commonlib/compression.h> (written by me) and <commonlib/compiler.h> (same stuff exists in libpayload). Finally, I am extracting the cb_err error code definitions from <types.h> into a new BSD-licensed header so that future commonlib/bsd code can build upon a common set of error values. I am making the assumption here that the enum constants and the half-sentence fragments of documentation next to them by themselves do not meet the threshold of copyrightability.

2018-05-22	Introduce bootblock self-decompression	Julius Werner
	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.
