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.
