the new buffer is at 0x46fe000000ULL, decompressor_gzip is using
0xffffffb901ffffff as out_len. gunzip in lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c cap
that len to 0x01ffffff and decompress fails later.
We could hit this problem with crashkernel booting that uses kexec loading
kernel above 4GiB.
We have decompress_* support:
1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
This bug only affect kernel preboot path that use outbuf[].
Add __decompress and take real out_buf_len for gunzip instead of guessing
wrong buf size.

Add support for detecting a vmlinuz.bin appended dtb and overriding
the boot arguments to match the UHI interface.
To ensure _edata / __apendend_dtb points to the actual end of the
binary, align the data section to 16 bytes instead of the address
cursor.
Due to ld.script not going through the preprocessor, we can't check
for MIPS_ZBOOT_APPENDED_DTB being enabled, so always reserve space
for it. It should have no consequences for booting without it enabled
except 1 MiB more ram usage during the uncompressing stage.

Currently, code of Loongson-2/3 is under loongson directory and code of
Loongson-1 is under loongson1 directory. Besides, there are Kconfig
options such as MACH_LOONGSON and MACH_LOONGSON1. This naming style is
very ugly and confusing. Since Loongson-2/3 are both 64-bit general-
purpose CPU while Loongson-1 is 32-bit SoC, we rename both file names
and Kconfig symbols from loongson/loongson1 to loongson64/loongson32.

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.

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.]

Previously it was based on the length of KBUILD_IMAGE (the unstripped ELF
vmlinux), which is bigger than vmlinux.bin. As a result, vmlinuz was
loaded into a memory address higher then actually needed - a problem for

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
