2016-02-22cbfs: Add LZ4 in-place decompression support for pre-RAM stagesJulius Werner
This patch ports the LZ4 decompression code that debuted in libpayload last year to coreboot for use in CBFS stages (upgrading the base algorithm to LZ4's dev branch to access the new in-place decompression checks). This is especially useful for pre-RAM stages in constrained SRAM-based systems, which previously could not be compressed due to the size requirements of the LZMA scratchpad and bounce buffer. The LZ4 algorithm offers a very lean decompressor function and in-place decompression support to achieve roughly the same boot speed gains (trading compression ratio for decompression time) with nearly no memory overhead. For now we only activate it for the stages that had previously not been compressed at all on non-XIP (read: non-x86) boards. In the future we may also consider replacing LZMA completely for certain boards, since which algorithm wins out on boot speed depends on board-specific parameters (architecture, processor speed, SPI transfer rate, etc.). BRANCH=None BUG=None TEST=Built and booted Oak, Jerry, Nyan and Falco. Measured boot time on Oak to be about ~20ms faster (cutting load times for affected stages almost in half).

2015-10-31tree: drop last paragraph of GPL copyright headerPatrick Georgi
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.

2015-05-21Remove address from GPLv2 headersPatrick Georgi
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. $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, *MA[, ]*02110-1301[, ]*USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Suite 500, Boston, MA 02110-1335, USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place[-, ]*Suite 330, Boston, MA *02111-1307[, ]*USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -a \! -name \*.patch \ -a \! -name \*_shipped \ -a \! -name LICENSE_GPL \ -a \! -name LGPL.txt \ -a \! -name COPYING \ -a \! -name DISCLAIMER \ -exec sed -i "/Foundation, Inc./ N;s:Foundation, Inc.* USA\.* *:Foundation, Inc. :;s:Foundation, Inc. $:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + Change-Id: Icc968a5a5f3a5df8d32b940f9cdb35350654bef9 Signed-off-by: Patrick Georgi <pgeorgi@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/9233 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Vladimir Serbinenko <phcoder@gmail.com>

When using this option, nvramtool looks for a cmos_layout.bin and cmos.default in the image and uses these for layout information and CMOS data.
