kbuild: rename cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}

GZIP-compressed files end with 4 byte data that represents the size
of the original input. The decompressors (the self-extracting kernel)
exploit it to know the vmlinux size beforehand. To mimic the GZIP's
trailer, Kbuild provides cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}.
Unfortunately these macros are used everywhere despite the appended
size data is only useful for the decompressors.

There is no guarantee that such hand-crafted trailers are safely ignored.
In fact, the kernel refuses compressed initramdfs with the garbage data.
That is why usr/Makefile overrides size_append to make it no-op.

To limit the use of such broken compressed files, this commit renames
the existing macros as follows:

cmd_bzip2 --> cmd_bzip2_with_size
cmd_lzma --> cmd_lzma_with_size
cmd_lzo --> cmd_lzo_with_size
cmd_lz4 --> cmd_lz4_with_size
cmd_xzkern --> cmd_xzkern_with_size
cmd_zstd22 --> cmd_zstd22_with_size

To keep the decompressors working, I updated the following Makefiles
accordingly:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/h8300/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/parisc/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/s390/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/sh/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile

I reused the current macro names for the normal usecases; they produce
the compressed data in the proper format.

I did not touch the following:

arch/arc/boot/Makefile
arch/arm64/boot/Makefile
arch/csky/boot/Makefile
arch/mips/boot/Makefile
arch/riscv/boot/Makefile
arch/sh/boot/Makefile
kernel/Makefile

This means those Makefiles will stop appending the size data.

I dropped the 'override size_append' hack from usr/Makefile.

mips: always link byteswap helpers into decompressor

My series to clean up the unaligned access implementation
across architectures caused some mips randconfig builds to
fail with:

mips64-linux-ld: arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o: in function `decompress_kernel':
decompress.c:(.text.decompress_kernel+0x54): undefined reference to `__bswapsi2'

It turns out that this problem has already been fixed for the XZ
decompressor but now it also shows up in (at least) LZO and LZ4. From my
analysis I concluded that the compiler could always have emitted those
calls, but the different implementation allowed it to make otherwise
better decisions about not inlining the byteswap, which results in the
link error when the out-of-line code is missing.

While it could be addressed by adding it to the two decompressor
implementations that are known to be affected, but as this only adds
112 bytes to the kernel, the safer choice is to always add them.

Commit c3e2ee657418 ("MIPS: generic: Add support for zboot") added
support for self-extracting images to Generic MIPS. However, the
intended way to boot Generic MIPS kernels is using FIT Images and
UHI boot protocol, but currently there's no way to make self-extracting
FIT Image (only legacy uzImages).

vmlinuz.bin and selected DT blobs. It will allow to have the advantages

2. Add all the targets to $(targets) variable, so they'll be properly

MIPS: Loongson-3: Enable COP2 usage in kernel

Loongson-3's COP2 is Multi-Media coprocessor, it is disabled in kernel
mode by default. However, gslq/gssq (16-bytes load/store instructions)
overrides the instruction format of lwc2/swc2. If we wan't to use gslq/
gssq for optimization in kernel, we should enable COP2 usage in kernel.

Please pay attention that in this patch we only enable COP2 in kernel,
which means it will lose ST0_CU2 when a process go to user space (try
to use COP2 in user space will trigger an exception and then grab COP2,
which is similar to FPU). And as a result, we need to modify the context
switching code because the new scheduled process doesn't contain ST0_CU2
in its THERAD_STATUS probably.

For zboot, we disable gslq/gssq be generated by toolchain.

kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.

It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.

This commit renames like follows:

always -> always-y
hostprogs-y -> hostprogs

So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:

always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
...
hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)

I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.

The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

MIPS: vmlinuz: Use generic ashldi3

In preparation for removing some of the MIPS compiler intrinsics from
arch/mips/lib, first update the build of vmlinuz to use the generic
ashldi3 from lib.

Both ashldi3 and bswapsi objects need to be built with different CFLAGS
for inclusion to vmlinuz rather than simply including the object built
for the main kernel image. The objects cannot be built directly from
source, since CONFIG_MODVERSIONS changes cmd_cc_o_c to prevent this.

Split the rule to ship ashldi3 and bswapsi from the relevant source
locations.

These files make no reference to other files in their directory, so the
additional CFLAGS are apparently unnecessary - remove them as well.

MIPS: Refactor load/entry address calculations

The vmlinux load address and entry address is calculated in multiple
places:
- arch/mips/Makefile defines load-y from CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START (or
defined by the platform) and passes it to
arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile.
- arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile calculates kernel entry using nm.
- arch/mips/lasat/image/Makefile calculates both load and entry address
using nm.

Lets combine these in the main Makefile and then pass them as Make
parameters to each of the three boot image Makefiles (in boot/,
boot/compressed, lasat/image/). The boot/ Makefile doesn't currently use
them, but will soon need to for U-Boot image targets.

The existing load-y definition is used in preference to calculating the
load address using nm.

MIPS: Boot: Compressed: Remove -fstack-protector from CFLAGS

When building with -fstack-protector, gcc emits the __stack_chk_guard and
__stack_chk_fail symbols to check for stack stability. These symbols are
defined in vmlinux but the generated vmlinux.bin that is used to create
the compressed vmlinuz image has no symbol table so the linker can't find
these symbols during the final linking phase. As a result of which, we
need either to redefine these symbols just for the compressed image or drop
the -fstack-protector option when building the compressed image. This patch
implements the latter of two options.

Fixes the following linking problem:

dbg.c:(.text+0x7c): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
dbg.c:(.text+0x80): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
dbg.c:(.text+0xd4): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
dbg.c:(.text+0xec): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'

[ralf@linux-mips.org: I'm applying this before the patch that actually adds
stack protector support for MIPS. This means, it will not be possible
to trigger above error message with any commit from the tree but rather
they are what one would hit without this commit.]

MIPS: Fix vmlinuz build for 32bit-only math shells

POSIX requires $((<expression>)) arithmetic in sh only to have long
arithmetic so on 32-bit sh binaries might do only 32-bit arithmetic but
the arithmetic done in arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile needs 64-bit.

I play with the AR7 platform, so VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS is
0xffffffff94100000, and for an example 4MiB kernel
VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS is made out to be:
----
alex@berk:~$ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))'
ffffffff94500000
alex@berk:~$ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))'
80000000003fffff
----

The former is obviously correct whilst the later breaks things royally.

Fortunately working with only the lower 32bit's works for both bash and
dash:
----
$ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))'
94500000
$ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))'
94500000
----

So, we can split the original 64bit string to two parts, and only
calculate the low 32bit part, which is big enough (1GiB kernel sizes
anyone?) for a normal Linux kernel image file, now, we calculate the
VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS like this:

1. if present, append top 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS" as a prefix
2. get the sum of the low 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS + VMLINUX_SIZE

This patch fixes vmlinuz kernel builds on systems where only a
32bit-only math shell is available.

Patch Changelog:
Version 2
- simplified method by using 'expr' for 'substr' and making it work
with dash once again
Version 1
- Revert the removals of '-n "$(VMLINUX_SIZE)"' to avoid the error
of "make clean"
- Consider more cases of the VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS
Version 0
- initial release

MIPS: Add support for GZIP / BZIP2 / LZMA compressed kernel images

This patch helps to generate smaller kernel images for linux-MIPS,

Here is the effect when using lzma:

$ ls -sh vmlinux
7.1M vmlinux
$ ls -sh vmlinuz
1.5M vmlinuz

Have tested the 32bit kernel on Qemu/Malta and 64bit kernel on FuLoong
Mini PC. both of them work well. and also, tested by Alexander Clouter
on an AR7 based Linksys WAG54Gv2, and by Manuel Lauss on an Alchemy
board.

This -v2 version incorporate the feedback from Ralf, and add the
following changes:

1. add .ecoff, .bin, .erec format support
2. only enable it and the debug source code for the machines we tested
3. a dozen of fixups and cleanups

and if you want to enable it for your board, please try to select
SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT for it, and if the board have an 16550 compatible
uart, you can select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 directly. and then
sending the relative patches to Ralf.
