This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very
traditional semantics.  The goal is to use these for C constant
expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to
simplify the min()/max() macros.

These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very
traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a
few different approaches:

 - trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed

   Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that
   already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new
   generic MIN/MAX macros automatically.

 - non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef

   This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include
   situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the
   generic version automatically" case.

 - strange use case #1

   A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their
   versioning is with

	#define MAJ 1
	#define MIN 2
	#define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN)

   which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great
   impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as

	#define DRV_VERSION "1.2"

   instead.

 - strange use case #2

   A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random
   'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than
   the traditional macro that takes arguments.

   These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new
   function-line macros only expand when followed by an open
   parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use.

Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of
users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one
case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version
that does the same thing. I left such cases alone.

<title>lib/decompressors: use real out buf size for gunzip with kernel</title>

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.

<title>initramfs: support initramfs that is bigger than 2GiB</title>

<id>d97b07c54f34e88352ebe676beb798c8f59ac588</id>
<content type='text'>
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 &lt; 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():
   size        name       Nehalem-EX  Westmere-EX  Ivybridge-EX

Validate the newly decoded distance (rep0) in process_bit1().  This is to
detect corrupt LZMA data quickly.  The old code can run for long time
producing garbage until it hits the end of the input.

Validate the newly decoded distance (rep0) in process_bit1().  This is to
detect corrupt LZMA data quickly.  The old code can run for long time
producing garbage until it hits the end of the input.

The return value of wr-&gt;flush() is not checked in write_byte().  This
means that the decompressor won't stop even if the caller doesn't want
more data.  This can happen e.g.  with corrupt LZMA-compressed initramfs.
Returning the error quickly allows the user to see the error message
quicker.

There is a similar missing check for wr.flush() near the end of unlzma().

<title>Decompressors: check for read errors in decompress_unlzma.c</title>

Return value of rc-&gt;fill() is checked in rc_read() and error() is called
when needed, but then the code continues as if nothing had happened.

rc_read() is a void function and it's on the top of performance critical
call stacks, so propagating the error code via return values doesn't sound
like the best fix.  It seems better to check rc-&gt;buffer_size (which holds
the return value of rc-&gt;fill()) in the main loop.  It does nothing bad
that the code runs a little with unknown data after a failed rc-&gt;fill().

This fixes an infinite loop in initramfs decompression if the
LZMA-compressed initramfs image is corrupt.
