lz4: fix kernel decompression speed

This patch replaces all memcpy() calls with LZ4_memcpy() which calls
__builtin_memcpy() so the compiler can inline it.

LZ4 relies heavily on memcpy() with a constant size being inlined. In x86
and i386 pre-boot environments memcpy() cannot be inlined because memcpy()
doesn't get defined as __builtin_memcpy().

An equivalent patch has been applied upstream so that the next import
won't lose this change [1].

I've measured the kernel decompression speed using QEMU before and after
this patch for the x86_64 and i386 architectures. The speed-up is about
10x as shown below.

Code Arch Kernel Size Time Speed
v5.8 x86_64 11504832 B 148 ms 79 MB/s
patch x86_64 11503872 B 13 ms 885 MB/s
v5.8 i386 9621216 B 91 ms 106 MB/s
patch i386 9620224 B 10 ms 962 MB/s

I also measured the time to decompress the initramfs on x86_64, i386, and
arm. All three show the same decompression speed before and after, as
expected.

lib/lz4: remove back-compat wrappers

Remove the functions introduced as wrappers for providing backwards
compatibility to the prior LZ4 version. They're not needed anymore
since there's no callers left.

lib: update LZ4 compressor module

Patch series "Update LZ4 compressor module", v7.

This patchset updates the LZ4 compression module to a version based on
LZ4 v1.7.3 allowing to use the fast compression algorithm aka LZ4 fast
which provides an "acceleration" parameter as a tradeoff between high
compression ratio and high compression speed.

We want to use LZ4 fast in order to support compression in lustre and
(mostly, based on that) investigate data reduction techniques in behalf
of storage systems.

Also, it will be useful for other users of LZ4 compression, as with LZ4
fast it is possible to enable applications to use fast and/or high
compression depending on the usecase. For instance, ZRAM is offering a
LZ4 backend and could benefit from an updated LZ4 in the kernel.

[PATCH 4/5] fs/pstore: fs/squashfs: Change usage of LZ4 to work with new LZ4 version
[PATCH 5/5] lib/lz4: Remove back-compat wrappers

This patch (of 5):

Update the LZ4 kernel module to LZ4 v1.7.3 by Yann Collet. The kernel
module is inspired by the previous work by Chanho Min. The updated LZ4
module will not break existing code since the patchset contains
appropriate changes.

API changes:

New method LZ4_compress_fast which differs from the variant available in
kernel by the new acceleration parameter, allowing to trade compression
ratio for more compression speed and vice versa.

LZ4_decompress_fast is the respective decompression method, featuring a
very fast decoder (multiple GB/s per core), able to reach RAM speed in
multi-core systems. The decompressor allows to decompress data
compressed with LZ4 fast as well as the LZ4 HC (high compression)
algorithm.

Also the useful functions LZ4_decompress_safe_partial and
LZ4_compress_destsize were added. The latter reverses the logic by
trying to compress as much data as possible from source to dest while
the former aims to decompress partial blocks of data.

A bunch of streaming functions were also added which allow
compressig/decompressing data in multiple steps (so called "streaming
mode").

The methods lz4_compress and lz4_decompress_unknownoutputsize are now
known as LZ4_compress_default respectivley LZ4_decompress_safe. The old
methods will be removed since there's no callers left in the code.

lib: add lz4 compressor module

This patchset is for supporting LZ4 compression and the crypto API using
it.

As shown below, the size of data is a little bit bigger but compressing
speed is faster under the enabled unaligned memory access. We can use
lz4 de/compression through crypto API as well. Also, It will be useful
for another potential user of lz4 compression.

lz4 Compression Benchmark:
Compiler: ARM gcc 4.6.4
ARMv7, 1 GHz based board
Kernel: linux 3.4
Uncompressed data Size: 101 MB
Compressed Size compression Speed
LZO 72.1MB 32.1MB/s, 33.0MB/s(UA)
LZ4 75.1MB 30.4MB/s, 35.9MB/s(UA)
LZ4HC 59.8MB 2.4MB/s, 2.5MB/s(UA)
- UA: Unaligned memory Access support
- Latest patch set for LZO applied

This patch:

Add support for LZ4 compression in the Linux Kernel. LZ4 Compression APIs
for kernel are based on LZ4 implementation by Yann Collet and were changed
for kernel coding style.

LZ4 homepage : http://fastcompression.blogspot.com/p/lz4.html
LZ4 source repository : http://code.google.com/p/lz4/
svn revision : r90

Two APIs are added:

lz4_compress() support basic lz4 compression whereas lz4hc_compress()
support high compression or CPU performance get lower but compression
ratio get higher. Also, we require the pre-allocated working memory with
the defined size and destination buffer must be allocated with the size of
lz4_compressbound.
