Ivan Djelic 437aa565e2 lib: add shared BCH ECC library
This is a new software BCH encoding/decoding library, similar to the shared
Reed-Solomon library.

Binary BCH (Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem) codes are widely used to correct
errors in NAND flash devices requiring more than 1-bit ecc correction; they
are generally better suited for NAND flash than RS codes because NAND bit
errors do not occur in bursts. Latest SLC NAND devices typically require at
least 4-bit ecc protection per 512 bytes block.

This library provides software encoding/decoding, but may also be used with
ASIC/SoC hardware BCH engines to perform error correction. It is being
currently used for this purpose on an OMAP3630 board (4bit/8bit HW BCH). It
has also been used to decode raw dumps of NAND devices with on-die BCH ecc
engines (e.g. Micron 4bit ecc SLC devices).

Latest NAND devices (including SLC) can exhibit high error rates (typically
a dozen or more bitflips per hour during stress tests); in order to
minimize the performance impact of error correction, this library
implements recently developed algorithms for fast polynomial root finding
(see bch.c header for details) instead of the traditional exhaustive Chien
root search; a few performance figures are provided below:

Platform: arm926ejs @ 468 MHz, 32 KiB icache, 16 KiB dcache
BCH ecc : 4-bit per 512 bytes

Encoding average throughput: 250 Mbits/s

Error correction time (compared with Chien search):

        average   worst      average (Chien)  worst (Chien)
----------------------------------------------------------
1 bit    8.5 µs   11 µs         200 µs           383 µs
2 bit    9.7 µs   12.5 µs       477 µs           728 µs
3 bit   18.1 µs   20.6 µs       758 µs          1010 µs
4 bit   19.5 µs   23 µs        1028 µs          1280 µs

In the above figures, "worst" is meant in terms of error pattern, not in
terms of cache miss / page faults effects (not taken into account here).

The library has been extensively tested on the following platforms: x86,
x86_64, arm926ejs, omap3630, qemu-ppc64, qemu-mips.

help
Drivers may select this option to force specific constant
values for parameters 'm' (Galois field order) and 't'
(error correction capability). Those specific values must
be set by declaring default values for symbols BCH_CONST_M
and BCH_CONST_T.
Doing so will enable extra compiler optimizations,
improving encoding and decoding performance up to 2x for
usual (m,t) values (typically such that m*t < 200).
When this option is selected, the BCH library supports
only a single (m,t) configuration. This is mainly useful
for NAND flash board drivers requiring known, fixed BCH
parameters.
config BCH_CONST_M

help
Constant value for Galois field order 'm'. If 'k' is the
number of data bits to protect, 'm' should be chosen such
that (k + m*t) <= 2**m - 1.
Drivers should declare a default value for this symbol if
they select option BCH_CONST_PARAMS.
