s390/boot: cleanup decompressor header files

2023-03-10T08:33:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9c3205b2b062420c26b33924b910880889acf832 ] Move declarations to appropriate header files. Instead of cryptic casting directly assign struct vmlinux_info type to _vmlinux_info linker script variable - wich it actually is.

s390/decompressor: specify __decompress() buf len to avoid overflow

2023-02-22T11:59:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7ab41c2c08a32132ba8c14624910e2fe8ce4ba4b ] Historically calls to __decompress() didn't specify "out_len" parameter on many architectures including s390, expecting that no writes beyond uncompressed kernel image are performed. This has changed since commit 2aa14b1ab2c4 ("zstd: import usptream v1.5.2") which includes zstd library commit 6a7ede3dfccb ("Reduce size of dctx by reutilizing dst buffer (#2751)"). Now zstd decompression code might store literal buffer in the unwritten portion of the destination buffer. Since "out_len" is not set, it is considered to be unlimited and hence free to use for optimization needs. On s390 this might corrupt initrd or ipl report which are often placed right after the decompressor buffer. Luckily the size of uncompressed kernel image is already known to the decompressor, so to avoid the problem simply specify it in the "out_len" parameter.

s390/boot: get rid of startup archive

2022-05-06T18:45:14+00:00

The final kernel image is created by linking decompressor object files with a startup archive. The startup archive file however does not contain only optional code and data which can be discarded if not referenced. It also contains mandatory object data like head.o which must never be discarded, even if not referenced. Move the decompresser code and linker script to the boot directory and get rid of the startup archive so everything is kept during link time. Acked-by: Vasily Gorbik Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens
