This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.
Russell King said:
: Testing on a Cortex A9 model:
: - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel
: - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel
:
: which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two.
:
: However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code:
: - new is 99% of the size of the old code
: - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code
:
: What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better:
: - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image
: - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took
:
: So the expense seems definitely worth the effort. The only reason I
: can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional
: compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.)
:
: I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO.
This patch:
The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
extraction. Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:
Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
gzip 1.61Mo 0.72s
lzo 1.75Mo 0.48s
So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
much faster to extract, at least in that case.
This part contains:
- Makefile routine to support lzo compression
- Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
compressed kernels
- wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
- config dialog for kernel compression

commit 3ba4162115 upstream.
Commit 40aee729b3 ('kconfig: fix default value for choice input')
fixed some cases where kconfig would select the wrong option from a
choice with a single valid option and thus enter an infinite loop.
However, this broke the test for user input of the form 'N?', because
when kconfig selects the single valid option the input is zero-length
and the test will read the byte before the input buffer. If this
happens to contain '?' (as it will in a mips build on Debian unstable
today) then kconfig again enters an infinite loop.

After fixing a use-after-free bug in kconfig, a 'make defconfig' or
'make allmodconfig' fills the screen with warnings that were not
detected before. Given that we are close to the release now, disable the
warnings temporarily and deal with them after 2.6.36.

When you don't use !E or !I but only !F, then it's very easy to miss
including some functions, structs etc. in documentation. To help
finding which ones were missed, allow printing out the unused ones as
warnings.
For example, using this on mac80211 yields a lot of warnings like this:
Warning: didn't use docs for DOC: mac80211 workqueue
Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_max_queues
Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_change
Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_conf

Fix this by checking if the kernel source tree is the root of the git or
hg repository. No fix for svn: If the kernel source is not tracked in
the svn repository, it works as expected, otherwise determining the
'repository root' is not really a defined task.

$cat .config | grep -v ^#

$conf --savedefconfig=defconfig Kconfig
would before this fix result in an empty file, because
kconfig would assume that CONFIG_A=y is a default value.
But because the choice is optional the default is that
both A and B are =n.

If a minimal config did not specify the value
of all choice values, the resulting configuration
could have wrong values.
Consider following example:
config M
def_bool y
option modules
choice
prompt "choice list"
config A
tristate "a"
config B
tristate "b"
endchoice
With a defconfig like this:
CONFIG_M=y
CONFIG_A=y
The resulting configuration would have
CONFIG_A=m
which was unexpected.
The problem was not not all choice values were set and thus
kconfig calculated a wrong value.
The fix is to set all choice values when we
read a defconfig files.
conf_set_all_new_symbols() is refactored such that
random choice values are now handled by a dedicated function.
And new choice values are set by set_all_choice_values().
This was not the minimal fix, but the fix that resulted
in the most readable code.

I just did a quick git bisect. It's introduced by commit 4062f1a4c0

actively breaks them.
The old behaviour (from years ago) were reintroduced by accident. Fix
