util: Add function to check whether a buffer is trivial (all 0x00 or all 0xff)
This function's execution time depends only on the buffer length but not on the specific bytes in the buffer. BRANCH=nocturne BUG=chromium:927095 TEST=make -j buildall TEST=timed the execution of bytes_are_trivial() on a long array with the following contents: Array 1: 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, ..., 0x00, 0x00 (first byte nontrivial) Array 2: 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, ..., 0x00, 0x02 (last byte nontrivial) Array 3: 0x00, 0x00, ... , 0x00, 0x03, 0x00, ..., (middle byte nontrivial) Array 4: 0x00, 0x00 , ... (trivial) (These 4 arrays have the same length.) Verified that execution on these arrays take similar amount of time, proportional to the length of the array, specifically: For 256k bytes, takes 21~40 microseconds For 128k bytes, takes 10~17 microseconds For 64k bytes, takes 5~9 microseconds For 32k bytes, takes 2~5 microseconds Because the host timer inaccuracy and potential process scheduling variations, the execution time for arrays 1-4 are sometimes not exactly the same. To avoid test flakiness, this timing test is not written to unit tests. But it should prove that bytes_are_trivial() is a constant time algorithm.
