Given the fact that we removed inclusion of boot.h from boot/string.c
does not look like we need misc.h inclusion in compressed/string.c. So
remove it.

misc.h was also pulling in string_32.h which in turn had macros for
memcmp and memcpy. So we don't need to #undef memcmp and memcpy anymore.

Currently compressed/misc.c needs to link against memset(). I think one of
the reasons of this need is inclusion of various header files which define
static inline functions and use memset() inside these. For example,
include/linux/bitmap.h

I think trying to include "../string.h" and using builtin version of memset
does not work because by the time "#define memset" shows up, it is too
late. Some other header file has already used memset() and expects to
find a definition during link phase.

Currently we have a C definitoin of memset() in misc.c. Move it to
compressed/string.c so that others can use it if need be.

Try to treat memcmp() in same way as memcpy() and memset(). Provide a
declaration in boot/string.h and by default user gets a memcmp() which
maps to builtin function.

Move optimized definition of memcmp() in boot/string.c. Now a user can
do #undef memcmp and link against string.c to use optimzied memcmp().

It also simplifies boot/compressed/string.c where we had to redefine
memcmp(). That extra definition is gone now.

Move optimized versions of memcpy to compressed/string.c This will allow
any other code to use these functions too if need be in future. Again
trying to put definition in a common place instead of hiding it in misc.c

With CONFIG_X86_32=y, string_32.h gets pulled in compressed/string.c by
"misch.h". string_32.h defines a macro to map memcmp to __builtin_memcmp().
And that macro in turn changes the name of memcmp() defined here and
converts it to __builtin_memcmp().

I thought that's not the intention though. We probably want to provide
our own optimized definition of memcmp(). If yes, then undef the memcmp
before we define a new memcmp.

There is currently a large divide between kernel development and the
development of EFI boot loaders. The idea behind this patch is to give
the kernel developers full control over the EFI boot process. As
H. Peter Anvin put it,

"The 'kernel carries its own stub' approach been very successful in
dealing with BIOS, and would make a lot of sense to me for EFI as
well."

This patch introduces an EFI boot stub that allows an x86 bzImage to
be loaded and executed by EFI firmware. The bzImage appears to the
firmware as an EFI application. Luckily there are enough free bits
within the bzImage header so that it can masquerade as an EFI
application, thereby coercing the EFI firmware into loading it and
jumping to its entry point. The beauty of this masquerading approach
is that both BIOS and EFI boot loaders can still load and run the same
bzImage, thereby allowing a single kernel image to work in any boot
environment.

The EFI boot stub supports multiple initrds, but they must exist on
the same partition as the bzImage. Command-line arguments for the
kernel can be appended after the bzImage name when run from the EFI
shell, e.g.

Shell> bzImage console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sdb initrd=initrd.img

v7:
- Fix checkpatch warnings.

v6:

- Try to allocate initrd memory just below hdr->inird_addr_max.

v5:

- load_options_size is UTF-16, which needs dividing by 2 to convert
to the corresponding ASCII size.

v4:

- Don't read more than image->load_options_size

v3:

- Fix following warnings when compiling CONFIG_EFI_STUB=n

arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c: In function ‘main’:
arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:24: warning: unused variable ‘pe_header’
arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:15: warning: unused variable ‘file_sz’

- As reported by Matthew Garrett, some Apple machines have GOPs that
don't have hardware attached. We need to weed these out by
searching for ones that handle the PCIIO protocol.

- Don't allocate memory if no initrds are on cmdline
- Don't trust image->load_options_size

Maarten Lankhorst noted:
- Don't strip first argument when booted from efibootmgr
- Don't allocate too much memory for cmdline
- Don't update cmdline_size, the kernel considers it read-only
- Don't accept '\n' for initrd names

v2:

- File alignment was too large, was 8192 should be 512. Reported by
Maarten Lankhorst on LKML.
- Added UGA support for graphics
- Use VIDEO_TYPE_EFI instead of hard-coded number.
- Move linelength assignment until after we've assigned depth
- Dynamically fill out AddressOfEntryPoint in tools/build.c
- Don't use magic number for GDT/TSS stuff. Requested by Andi Kleen
- The bzImage may need to be relocated as it may have been loaded at
a high address address by the firmware. This was required to get my
macbook booting because the firmware loaded it at 0x7cxxxxxx, which
triggers this error in decompress_kernel(),

if (heap > ((-__PAGE_OFFSET-(128<<20)-1) & 0x7fffffff))
error("Destination address too large");

It is a subset of <ctype.h> functionality, so name it ctype.h. Also,
reorganize header files so #include statements are clustered near the
top as they should be.

This enables the decompressor output to be seen on the serial console.
Most of the code is shared with the regular boot code.

We could add printf to the decompressor if needed, but currently there
is no sufficiently compelling user.

-v2: define BOOT_BOOT_H to avoid include boot.h
-v3: early_serial_base need to be static in misc.c ?
-v4: create seperate string.c printf.c cmdline.c early_serial_console.c
after hpa's patch that allow global variables in compressed/misc stage
-v5: remove printf.c related
