      lib/decompressors: use real out buf size for gunzip with kernel · 2d3862d2
      Yinghai Lu authored
      
      When loading x86 64bit kernel above 4GiB with patched grub2, got kernel
      gunzip error.

      the new buffer is at 0x46fe000000ULL, decompressor_gzip is using
      0xffffffb901ffffff as out_len.  gunzip in lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c cap
      that len to 0x01ffffff and decompress fails later.
      
      We could hit this problem with crashkernel booting that uses kexec loading
      kernel above 4GiB.
      
      We have decompress_* support:
          1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
          2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
          3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
      This bug only affect kernel preboot path that use outbuf[].
      
      Add __decompress and take real out_buf_len for gunzip instead of guessing
      wrong buf size.

      initramfs: support initramfs that is bigger than 2GiB · d97b07c5
      Yinghai Lu authored
      
      Now with 64bit bzImage and kexec tools, we support ramdisk that size is
      bigger than 2g, as we could put it above 4G.
      
      Found compressed initramfs image could not be decompressed properly.  It
      turns out that image length is int during decompress detection, and it
      will become < 0 when length is more than 2G.  Furthermore, during
      decompressing len as int is used for inbuf count, that has problem too.
      
      Change len to long, that should be ok as on 32 bit platform long is
      32bits.
      
      Tested with following compressed initramfs image as root with kexec.
      	gzip, bzip2, xz, lzma, lzop, lz4.
      run time for populate_rootfs():

      initrd: fix lz4 decompress with initrd · 4d4b866a
      Yinghai Lu authored
      
      During testing initrd (>2G) support, find decompress/lz4 does not work
      with initrd at all.
      
      decompress_* should support:
      1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
      2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
      3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
      
      in the unlz4 does not handle case 3, as input len is passed as 0, and it
      failed in first try.
      
      Fix that add one extra if (fill) checking, and get out if EOF from the
      fill().
