[PATCH 8/11] i386: Relocatable kernel support

[Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>]

This patch modifies the x86 kernel so that if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is
selected it will be able to be loaded at any 4K aligned address below
1G.  The technique used is to compile the decompressor with -fPIC and
modify it so the decompressor is fully relocatable.  For the main
kernel relocations are generated.  Resulting in a kernel that is relocatable
with no runtime overhead and no need to modify the source code.

A reserved 32bit word in the parameters has been assigned
to serve as a stack so we figure out where are running.

+ * The buffer for decompression in place is the length of the
+ * uncompressed data, plus a small amount extra to keep the algorithm safe.
+ * The compressed data is placed at the end of the buffer.  The output
+ * pointer is placed at the start of the buffer and the input pointer
+ * is placed where the compressed data starts.  Problems will occur
+ * when the output pointer overruns the input pointer.
+ *
+ * The output pointer can only overrun the input pointer if the input
+ * pointer is moving faster than the output pointer.  A condition only
+ * triggered by data whose compressed form is larger than the uncompressed
+ * form.
+ *
+ * The worst case at the block level is a growth of the compressed data
+ * of 5 bytes per 32767 bytes.
+ *
+ * The worst case internal to a compressed block is very hard to figure.
+ * The worst case can at least be boundined by having one bit that represents
+ * 32764 bytes and then all of the rest of the bytes representing the very
+ * very last byte.
+ *
+ * All of which is enough to compute an amount of extra data that is required
+ * to be safe.  To avoid problems at the block level allocating 5 extra bytes
+ * per 32767 bytes of data is sufficient.  To avoind problems internal to a block
+ * adding an extra 32767 bytes (the worst case uncompressed block size) is
+ * sufficient, to ensure that in the worst case the decompressed data for
+ * block will stop the byte before the compressed data for a block begins.
+ * To avoid problems with the compressed data's meta information an extra 18
+ * bytes are needed.  Leading to the formula:
+ *
+ * extra_bytes = (uncompressed_size >> 12) + 32768 + 18 + decompressor_size.
+ *
+ * Adding 8 bytes per 32K is a bit excessive but much easier to calculate.
+ * Adding 32768 instead of 32767 just makes for round numbers.
+ * Adding the decompressor_size is necessary as it musht live after all
+ * of the data as well.  Last I measured the decompressor is about 14K.
+ * 10K of actuall data and 4K of bss.
