5de813b6cd ARM: Eliminate decompressor -Dstatic= PIC hack
We used to build decompressors with -Dstatic= to avoid any local data
being generated.  The problem is that local data generates GOTOFF
relocations, which means we can't relocate the data relative to the
text segment.

Global data, on the other hand, goes through the GOT, and can be
relocated anywhere.

Unfortunately, with the new decompressors, this presents a problem
since they declare static data within functions, and this leads to
stack overflow.

Fix this by separating out the decompressor code into a separate file,
and removing 'static' from BSS data in misc.c.

Also, discard the .data section - this means that should we end up
with read/write initialized data, the decompressor will fail to link
and the problem will be obvious.

e7db7b4270 arm: add support for LZO-compressed kernels
- changes to ach/arch/boot/Makefile to make it easier to add new
   compression types
 - new piggy.lzo.S necessary for lzo compression
 - changes in arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.c to allow the use of lzo or
   gzip, depending on the config
 - Kconfig support

aa0d3bb77e arm: allow usage of string functions in linux/string.h
In introducing a trivial "strstarts()" function in linux/string.h, we
hit:

	arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `strstarts':
	misc.c:(.text+0x368): undefined reference to `strlen'
	misc.c:(.text+0x378): undefined reference to `strncmp'

This is because of "CFLAGS_misc.o := -Dstatic=" in the Makefile.
"static inline strstarts(...)" becomes non-inline, and refers to the
other string ops.

The simplest workaround is to include asm/string.h.  This makes sense
anyway, since lib/string.c won't be linked against this so we can't
use those functions anyway.

Compile tested here.

59f0cb0fdd [ARM] remove memzero()
As suggested by Andrew Morton, remove memzero() - it's not supported
on other architectures so use of it is a potential build breaking bug.
Since the compiler optimizes memset(x,0,n) to __memzero() perfectly
well, we don't miss out on the underlying benefits of memzero().

2d6ffcca62 inflate: refactor inflate malloc code
Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.

The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
free.  This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.

This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
all the malloc/free implementations.

The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
 - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
   allocations should be made
 - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
   allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
   the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed

The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
function call.  This function will be called several times during the
decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
still running.  If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
arch_decomp_wdog().

Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
kernel and improved by me.

35c7422649 [PATCH] x86: deflate stack usage in lib/inflate.c
inflate_fixed and huft_build together use around 2.7k of stack.  When
using 4k stacks, I saw stack overflows from interrupts arriving while
unpacking the root initrd:

 [<c04657e2>] unpack_to_rootfs+0x5f2/0x8c1
 [<c0465acf>] populate_rootfs+0x1e/0xe4

(This was under Xen, but there's no reason it couldn't happen on bare
  hardware.)

This patch mallocs the local variables, thereby reducing the stack
usage to sane levels.

Also, up the heap size for the kernel decompressor to deal with the
extra allocation.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
