ARM: 9154/1: decompressor: do not copy source files while building

As commit 7ae4a78daacf ("ARM: 8969/1: decompressor: simplify libfdt
builds") stated, copying source files during the build time may not
end up with as clean code as expected.

Do similar for the other library files for further cleanups of the
Makefile and .gitignore.

ARM: 8969/1: decompressor: simplify libfdt builds

Copying source files during the build time may not end up with
as clean code as expected.

lib/fdt*.c simply wrap scripts/dtc/libfdt/fdt*.c, and it works
nicely. Let's follow this approach for the arm decompressor, too.

Add four wrappers, arch/arm/boot/compressed/fdt*.c and remove
the Makefile messes. Another nice thing is we no longer need to
maintain the own libfdt_env.h because the decompressor can include
<linux/libfdt_env.h>.

There is a subtle problem when generated files are turned into
check-in files.

When you are doing a rebuild of an existing object tree with O=
option, there exists stale "shipped" copies that the old Makefile
implementation created. The build system ends up with compiling the
stale generated files because Make searches for prerequisites in the
current directory, i.e. $(objtree) first, and then the directory
listed in VPATH, i.e. $(srctree).

To mend this issue, I added the following code:

ifdef building_out_of_srctree
$(shell rm -f $(addprefix $(obj)/, fdt_rw.c fdt_ro.c fdt_wip.c fdt.c))
endif

This will need to stay for a while because "git bisect" crossing this
commit, otherwise, would result in a build error.

ARM: simplify generation of compressed vmlinux.lds file

As we are now using the C preprocessor, we do not need to use sed to
edit constants in this file, and then pass the resulting file through
the C preprocessor. Instead, rely solely on the C preprocessor to
rewrite TEXT_START and BSS_ADDR.

ARM: 7992/1: boot: compressed: ignore bswapsdi2.S

Commit 017f161a55b4 (ARM: 7877/1: use built-in byte swap function) added
bswapsdi2.{o,S} to arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile, but didn't update
the .gitignore. Thus after a a build git status shows bswapsdi2.S as a
new file, which is a little annoying.

This patch updates arch/arm/boot/compressed/.gitignore to ignore
bswapsdi2.S, as we already do for ashldi3.S and others.

ARM: zImage/virt: hyp mode entry support for the zImage loader

The zImage loader needs to turn on the MMU in order to take
advantage of caching while decompressing the zImage. Running this
in hyp mode would require the LPAE pagetable format to be
supported; to avoid this complexity, this patch switches out of hyp
mode, and returns back to hyp mode just before booting the kernel.

This implementation assumes that the Hyp mode view of memory and the
PL1 view of memory are coherent, providing that the MMU and caches
are off in both, as required by the boot protocol. The zImage
decompression code must drain the write buffer on completion anyway, and
entry into Hyp mode should flush any prefetch buffer, avoiding hazards
associated with local write buffers and the pipeline.

ARM: zImage: allow supplementing appended DTB with traditional ATAG data

Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a device tree capable one,
yet they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
the kernel cmdline string, etc. To allow a device tree enabled
kernel to be used with such bootloaders, it is necessary to convert those
ATAGs into FDT properties and fold them into the DTB appended to zImage.

Currently the following ATAGs are converted:

ATAG_CMDLINE
ATAG_MEM
ATAG_INITRD2

If the corresponding information already exists in the appended DTB, it
is replaced, otherwise the required node is created to hold it.

The code looks for ATAGs at the location pointed by the value of r2 upon
entry into the zImage code. If no ATAGs are found there, an attempt at
finding ATAGs at the typical 0x100 offset from start of RAM is made.
Otherwise the DTB is left unchanged.

Thisstarted from an older patch from John Bonesio <bones@secretlab.ca>,
with contributions from David Brown <davidb@codeaurora.org>.

[ARM] riscpc: fix decompressor font file handling

font_acorn_8x8.o was being built in drivers/video/console/ twice
during a build _in the same location_ - once for the kernel proper,
and once for the decompressor. The result is when you came to run an
install target, the kernel was always rebuilt due to this file
apparantly having been built with different compiler arguments.

Solve this by making a local copy at build time in the decompressor's
directory.
