Choosing the appropriate compression option when using an embedded
initramfs can result in significant size differences in the resulting
data.
This is caused by avoiding double compression of the initramfs contents.
For example on my tests, choosing CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE when
compressing the kernel using XZ) results in up to 500KiB differences
(9MiB to 8.5MiB) in the kernel size as the dictionary will not get
polluted with uncomprensible data and may reuse kernel data too.
Despite embedding an uncompressed initramfs, a user may want to allow
for a compressed extra initramfs to be passed using the rd system, for
example to boot a recovery system. 9ba4bcb645 ("initramfs: read
CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression") broke that behavior by
making the choice based on CONFIG_RD_* instead of adding
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4. Saddly, CONFIG_RD_* is also used to
choose the supported RD compression algorithms by the kernel and a user
may want to support more than one.
This patch also reverts commit 3e4e0f0a87 ("initramfs: remove
"compression mode" choice") restoring back the "compression mode" choice
and includes the CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4 option which was never
added.
As a result the following options are added or readed affecting the embedded
initramfs compression:
INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE Do no compression
INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP Compress using gzip
INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_BZIP2 Compress using bzip2
INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZMA Compress using lzma
INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_XZ Compress using xz
INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZO Compress using lzo
INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4 Compress using lz4
These depend on the corresponding CONFIG_RD_* option being set (except
NONE which has no dependencies).
This patch depends on the previous one (the previous version didn't) to
simplify the way in which the algorithm is chosen and keep backwards
compatibility with the behaviour introduced by 9ba4bcb645
("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression").

The kernel has support for (nearly) every compression algorithm known to
man, each to handle some particular microscopic niche.
Unfortunately all of these always get compiled in if you want to support
INITRDs, and can be only disabled when CONFIG_EXPERT is set.
I don't see why I need to set EXPERT just to properly configure the initrd
compression algorithms, and not always include every possible algorithm
Usually the initrd is just compressed with gzip anyways, at least that's
true on all distributions I use.
Remove the dependencies for initrd compression on CONFIG_EXPERT.
Make the various options just default y, which should be good enough to
not break any previous configuration.

When expert configuration option(CONFIG_EXPERT) is enabled, menuconfig
offers a choice of compression algorithm to compress initial ramfs image;
This choice is stored into CONFIG_RD_* variables. But usr/Makefile uses
earlier INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_* macros to build initial ramfs file. Since
none of them is defined, resulting 'initramfs_data.cpio' file remains
un-compressed.
This patch updates the Makefile to use CONFIG_RD_* variables and adds
support for LZ4 compression algorithm. Also updates the
'gen_initramfs_list.sh' script to check whether a selected compression
command is accessible or not. And fall-back to default gzip(1)
compression when it is not.

getenv() may return NULL if given environment variable does not exist
which leads to NULL dereference when calling strncat.
Besides that, the environment variable name was copied to a temporary
env_var buffer, but this copying can be avoided by simply using the input
string.
Lastly, the whole loop can be greatly simplified by using the snprintf
function instead of the playing with strncat.
By the way, the current implementation allows a recursive variable
expansion, as in:
$ echo 'out ${A} out ' | A='a ${B} a' B=b /tmp/a
out a b a out
I'm assuming this is just a side effect and not a conscious decision
(especially as this may lead to infinite loop), but I didn't want to
change this behaviour without consulting.
If the current behaviour is deamed incorrect, I'll be happy to send
a patch without recursive processing.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.
The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).
The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1)
As pointed out by Kerstin Jonsson <kerstin.jonsson@ericsson.com>, this
is due to CONFIG_32BIT not being defined, so the initramfs size field is
done as a 64-bit quad. On little-endian (like x86) this doesn matter,
but on a big-endian machine the 32-bit reads will see the (zero) high
bits.
Only mips, s390, and score set CONFIG_32BIT for 32-bit builds, so fix it for
all other 32-bit arches by inverting the logic and testing for CONFIG_64BIT,
which should be defined on all 64-bit arches.

The size of a built-in initramfs is calculated in init/initramfs.c by
"__initramfs_end - __initramfs_start". Those symbols are defined in the
linker script include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:
#define INIT_RAM_FS \
. = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); \
VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_start) = .; \
*(.init.ramfs) \
VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_end) = .;
If the initramfs file has an odd number of bytes, the "__initramfs_end"
symbol points to an odd address, for example, the symbols in the
System.map might look like:
0000000000572000 T __initramfs_start
00000000005bcd05 T __initramfs_end <-- odd address
At least on s390 this causes a problem:
Certain s390 instructions, especially instructions for loading addresses
(larl) or branch addresses must be on even addresses. The compiler loads
the symbol addresses with the "larl" instruction. This instruction sets
the last bit to 0 and, therefore, for odd size files, the calculated size
is one byte less than it should be:
0000000000540a9c <populate_rootfs>:
540a9c: eb cf f0 78 00 24 stmg %r12,%r15,120(%r15),
540aa2: c0 10 00 01 8a af larl %r1,572000 <__initramfs_start>
540aa8: c0 c0 00 03 e1 2e larl %r12,5bcd04 <initramfs_end>
(Instead of 5bcd05)
...
540abe: 1b c1 sr %r12,%r1
To fix the problem, this patch introduces the global variable
__initramfs_size, which is calculated in the "usr/initramfs_data.S" file.
The populate_rootfs() function can then use the start marker of the
.init.ramfs section and the value of __initramfs_size for loading the
initramfs. Because the start marker and size is sufficient, the
__initramfs_end symbol is no longer needed and is removed.

given RFS_BASE is "/some/directory" in the environment

file /sbin/kinit /some/directory/usr/src/klibc/kinit/kinit 0755 0 0
If several environment variables appear in a line, they are all expanded

headers_install by default puts headers into usr/include/ .
They're auto-generated, so should be ignored.
Same for *.orig, *.rej .

Extend usr/gen_init_cpio.c "file" entry, adding support for hard links.
Previous format:
file <name> <location> <mode> <uid> <gid>
New format:
file <name> <location> <mode> <uid> <gid> [<hard links>]
The hard links specification is optional, keeping the previous
behaviour.
All hard links are defined sequentially in the resulting cpio and the
file data is present only in the last link. This is the behaviour of
GNU's cpio and is supported by the kernel initramfs extractor.

The file init/initramfs.c is always compiled and linked in the kernel
vmlinux even when BLK_DEV_RAM and BLK_DEV_INITRD are disabled and the
system isn't using any form of an initramfs or initrd. In this situation
the code is only used to unpack a (static) default initial rootfilesystem.
The current init/initramfs.c code. usr/initramfs_data.o compiles to a size
of ~15 kbytes. Disabling BLK_DEV_RAM and BLK_DEV_INTRD shrinks the kernel
code size with ~60 Kbytes.
This patch avoids compiling in the code and data for initramfs support if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not defined. Instead of the initramfs code and
data it uses a small routine in init/noinitramfs.c to setup an initial
static default environment for mounting a rootfilesystem later on in the
kernel initialisation process. The new code is: 164 bytes of size.
The patch is separated in two parts:
1) doesn't compile initramfs code when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set
2) changing all plaforms vmlinux.lds.S files to not reserve an area of
PAGE_SIZE when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set.

Fix bug 7401.
Handle more than one source dir or file list to the initramfs gen scripts.
The Kconfig help for INITRAMFS_SOURCE claims that you can specify multiple
space-separated sources in order to allow unprivileged users to build an
image. There are two bugs in the current implementation that prevent this
from working.
First, we pass "file1 dir2" to the gen_initramfs_list.sh script, which it
obviously can't open.
Second, gen_initramfs_list.sh -l outputs multiple definitions for
deps_initramfs -- one for each argument.

Consistently decide when to rebuild a target across all of
if_changed, if_changed_dep, if_changed_rule.
PHONY targets are now treated alike (ignored) for all targets
While add it make Kbuild.include almost readable by factoring out a few
bits to some common variables and reuse this in Makefile.build.

When a file supplied via CONFIG_INITRAMFS pointed to a file
for which kbuild had a rule to compile it (foo.c => foo.o)
then kbuild would compile the file before adding the
file to the initramfs.
Teach make that files included in initramfs shall not be updated by adding
an 'empty command'. (See "Using Empty Commands" in info make).

Fix potential NULL pointer deref in gen_init_cpio.c spotted by coverity
checker. This fixes coverity bug #86
Without this patch we risk dereferencing a NULL `type' in the
"if ('\n' == *type) {" line.
