commit bec0de4cfad21bd284dbddee016ed1767a5d2823 upstream.

KEXEC needs the new kernel's load address to be aligned on a page
boundary (see sanity_check_segment_list()), but on MIPS the default
vmlinuz load address is only explicitly aligned to 16 bytes.

Since the largest PAGE_SIZE supported by MIPS kernels is 64KB, increase
the alignment calculated by calc_vmlinuz_load_addr to 64KB.

commit 5f2483eb2423152445b39f2db59d372f523e664e upstream.

Make doesn't expand shell style "vmlinuz.{32,ecoff,bin,srec}" to the 4
separate files, so none of these files get cleaned up by make clean.
List the files separately instead.

<title>MIPS: ZBOOT: add missing &lt;linux/string.h&gt; include</title>

commit 29593fd5a8149462ed6fad0d522234facdaee6c8 upstream.

Commit dc4d7b37 (MIPS: ZBOOT: gather string functions into string.c)
moved the string related functions into a separate file, which might
cause the following build error, depending on the configuration:

| CC      arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o
| In file included from linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/../../../../lib/decompress_unxz.c:234:0,
|                  from linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.c:67:
| linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/../../../../lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.c: In function 'fill_temp':
| linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/../../../../lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.c:162:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'memcpy' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
| cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
| linux/scripts/Makefile.build:308: recipe for target 'arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o' failed
| make[6]: *** [arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o] Error 1
| linux/arch/mips/Makefile:308: recipe for target 'vmlinuz' failed

It does not fail with the standard configuration, as when
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is not enabled &lt;linux/string.h&gt; gets included in
include/linux/dynamic_debug.h. There might be other ways for it to
get indirectly included.

We can't add the include directly in xz_dec_stream.c as some
architectures might want to use a different version for the boot/
directory (see for example arch/x86/boot/string.h).

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

In the worst case this adds less then 128 bytes of code
but on the other hand this makes code organization more clear.

Add support for the LZ4 compression scheme in the ZBOOT decompression
stub, in order to support it we need to:

- select the "lz4" compression tool to compress the vmlinux.bin
  payload
- memcpy() is also required for decompress_unlz4.c so we share the
  implementation between GZIP, XZ and now LZ4

There is currently no corresponding ELF program header for the "text"
loadable segment which is confusing for some bootloader out there such
as CFE because it expects to find a program header matching the segment
it is trying to load. The Linux kernel ELF binary "vmlinux" has a
similar program header for the text segment so we just mimic this here
too.

<title>MIPS: Refactor load/entry address calculations</title>

<id>3185557d1acf8cc0c937b1343de83e2483bde28b</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

 - 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.
