kbuild: rename cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}
GZIP-compressed files end with 4 byte data that represents the size of the original input. The decompressors (the self-extracting kernel) exploit it to know the vmlinux size beforehand. To mimic the GZIP's trailer, Kbuild provides cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}. Unfortunately these macros are used everywhere despite the appended size data is only useful for the decompressors. There is no guarantee that such hand-crafted trailers are safely ignored. In fact, the kernel refuses compressed initramdfs with the garbage data. That is why usr/Makefile overrides size_append to make it no-op. To limit the use of such broken compressed files, this commit renames the existing macros as follows: cmd_bzip2 --> cmd_bzip2_with_size cmd_lzma --> cmd_lzma_with_size cmd_lzo --> cmd_lzo_with_size cmd_lz4 --> cmd_lz4_with_size cmd_xzkern --> cmd_xzkern_with_size cmd_zstd22 --> cmd_zstd22_with_size To keep the decompressors working, I updated the following Makefiles accordingly: arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/h8300/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/parisc/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/s390/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/sh/boot/compressed/Makefile arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile I reused the current macro names for the normal usecases; they produce the compressed data in the proper format. I did not touch the following: arch/arc/boot/Makefile arch/arm64/boot/Makefile arch/csky/boot/Makefile arch/mips/boot/Makefile arch/riscv/boot/Makefile arch/sh/boot/Makefile kernel/Makefile This means those Makefiles will stop appending the size data. I dropped the 'override size_append' hack from usr/Makefile. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier <n.schier@avm.de>
