decompressor: Add LZ4 decompressor module

Date	Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:24:27 +0900

This patch adds support for LZ4 decompression in the Linux Kernel.
LZ4 Decompression APIs for kernel are based on LZ4 implementation
by Yann Collet.

v2:
- Clean up code
- Enable unaligned access for ARM v6 and above with
  CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
- Add lz4_decompress() for faster decompression with
  uncompressed output size

lib: Add support for LZ4-compressed kernel

Date	Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:24:28 +0900

This patch adds support for extracting LZ4-compressed kernel images,
as well as LZ4-compressed ramdisk images in the kernel boot process.

This depends on the patch below

lib: Add lz4 compressor module

From	Chanho Min <>

This patch adds support for LZ4 compression in the Linux Kernel.
LZ4 Compression APIs for kernel are based on LZ4 implementation
by Yann Collet and changed with kernel coding style.

LZ4 homepage : http://fastcompression.blogspot.com/p/lz4.html
LZ4 source repository : http://code.google.com/p/lz4/
svn revision : r90

Two APIs are added:
lz4_compress() support basic lz4 compression whereas lz4hc_compress() support
high compression or CPU performance get lower but compression ratio get higher.
Also, we require the pre-allocated working memory with the defined size and
destination buffer must be allocated with the size of lz4_compressbound.

LZ4: compression/decompression signedness mismatch (v2)

LZ4 compression and decompression functions require different
in signedness input/output parameters: unsigned char for
compression and signed char for decompression.

Change decompression API to require "(const) unsigned char *".

v2: minor coding style fix.

lib/lzo: Update LZO compression to current upstream version

This commit updates the kernel LZO code to the current upsteam version
which features a significant speed improvement - benchmarking the Calgary
and Silesia test corpora typically shows a doubled performance in
both compression and decompression on modern i386/x86_64/powerpc machines.

dyn_sync_cntrl: dynamic sync control 1.1

The dynamic sync control interface uses Android kernel's unique early
suspend / late resume interface.

While screen is on, file sync is disabled
when screen is off, a file sync is called to flush all outstanding writes
and restore file sync operation as normal.
