      lib/decompressors: use real out buf size for gunzip with kernel · 2d3862d2
      Yinghai Lu authored
      When loading x86 64bit kernel above 4GiB with patched grub2, got kernel
      gunzip error.

      | decompress_kernel:

      the new buffer is at 0x46fe000000ULL, decompressor_gzip is using
      0xffffffb901ffffff as out_len.  gunzip in lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c cap
      that len to 0x01ffffff and decompress fails later.
      
      We could hit this problem with crashkernel booting that uses kexec loading
      kernel above 4GiB.
      
      We have decompress_* support:
          1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
          2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
          3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
      This bug only affect kernel preboot path that use outbuf[].
      
      Add __decompress and take real out_buf_len for gunzip instead of guessing
      wrong buf size.

       (lib/decompressors: fix "no limit" output buffer length)
