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.

staging: zram: add Crypto API support

Date    Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:30:48 +0200

Current version of zram does not allow any substitution of a default
compression algorithm. Therefore, I decided to change the existing
implementation of page compression by adding Crypto API compability.

All direct calls to lzo1x compression/decompression methods are now
replaced by calls consistent with Crypto. Also, I removed "workmem"
field from struct zram_meta, as it was there for lzo1x purposes only
and is no longer needed. Finally, I added a set of functions required
by Crypto API to work properly.

In order to substitute the default algorithm (lzo), change the value
of zram.compressor module parameter to a proper name (e.g. lz4).

staging: zram: add per-cpu support to Crypto

Date	Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:30:49 +0200

Since original zram code did not implement any per-cpu operations,
my previous patch (staging: zram: add Crypto API support) did not
include them either.

This patch complements the first one with per-cpu support for Crypto,
allocating tfms buffer separately for each online processor.
Changes are based on zswap and zcache per-cpu code.

Basic tests (concurrent writing several 10-40MB chunks to zram) performed
on an ARM-based EXYNOS4412 Quad-Core showed that per-cpu code provides
noticeable time saving, ranging between 30-40% for LZO and LZ4 compressors.
Sample data (LZO): writing 160MB, 40MB per thread took 0.60s with per-cpu
code included and approximately 0.80s without per-cpu support.
