Ard Biesheuvel cf8e865810 arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.

None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.

While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.

There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.

So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

/*
* Wrapper for decompressing XZ-compressed kernel, initramfs, and initrd
*
* Author: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org>
*
* This file has been put into the public domain.
* You can do whatever you want with this file.
*/
/*
* Important notes about in-place decompression
*
* At least on x86, the kernel is decompressed in place: the compressed data
* is placed to the end of the output buffer, and the decompressor overwrites
* most of the compressed data. There must be enough safety margin to
* guarantee that the write position is always behind the read position.
*
* The safety margin for XZ with LZMA2 or BCJ+LZMA2 is calculated below.
* Note that the margin with XZ is bigger than with Deflate (gzip)!
*
* The worst case for in-place decompression is that the beginning of
* the file is compressed extremely well, and the rest of the file is
* incompressible. Thus, we must look for worst-case expansion when the
* compressor is encoding incompressible data.
*
* The structure of the .xz file in case of a compressed kernel is as follows.
* Sizes (as bytes) of the fields are in parenthesis.
*
* Stream Header (12)
* Block Header:
* Block Header (8-12)
* Compressed Data (N)
* Block Padding (0-3)
* CRC32 (4)
* Index (8-20)
* Stream Footer (12)
*
* Normally there is exactly one Block, but let's assume that there are
* 2-4 Blocks just in case. Because Stream Header and also Block Header
* of the first Block don't make the decompressor produce any uncompressed
* data, we can ignore them from our calculations. Block Headers of possible
* additional Blocks have to be taken into account still. With these
* assumptions, it is safe to assume that the total header overhead is
* less than 128 bytes.
*
* Compressed Data contains LZMA2 or BCJ+LZMA2 encoded data. Since BCJ
* doesn't change the size of the data, it is enough to calculate the
* safety margin for LZMA2.
*
* LZMA2 stores the data in chunks. Each chunk has a header whose size is
* a maximum of 6 bytes, but to get round 2^n numbers, let's assume that
* the maximum chunk header size is 8 bytes. After the chunk header, there
* may be up to 64 KiB of actual payload in the chunk. Often the payload is
* quite a bit smaller though; to be safe, let's assume that an average
* chunk has only 32 KiB of payload.
*
* The maximum uncompressed size of the payload is 2 MiB. The minimum
* uncompressed size of the payload is in practice never less than the
* payload size itself. The LZMA2 format would allow uncompressed size
* to be less than the payload size, but no sane compressor creates such
* files. LZMA2 supports storing incompressible data in uncompressed form,
* so there's never a need to create payloads whose uncompressed size is
* smaller than the compressed size.
*
* The assumption, that the uncompressed size of the payload is never
* smaller than the payload itself, is valid only when talking about
* the payload as a whole. It is possible that the payload has parts where
* the decompressor consumes more input than it produces output. Calculating
* the worst case for this would be tricky. Instead of trying to do that,
* let's simply make sure that the decompressor never overwrites any bytes
* of the payload which it is currently reading.
*
* Now we have enough information to calculate the safety margin. We need
* - 128 bytes for the .xz file format headers;
* - 8 bytes per every 32 KiB of uncompressed size (one LZMA2 chunk header
* per chunk, each chunk having average payload size of 32 KiB); and
* - 64 KiB (biggest possible LZMA2 chunk payload size) to make sure that
* the decompressor never overwrites anything from the LZMA2 chunk
* payload it is currently reading.
*
* We get the following formula:
*
* safety_margin = 128 + uncompressed_size * 8 / 32768 + 65536
* = 128 + (uncompressed_size >> 12) + 65536
*
* For comparison, according to arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c, the
* equivalent formula for Deflate is this:
*
* safety_margin = 18 + (uncompressed_size >> 12) + 32768
*
* Thus, when updating Deflate-only in-place kernel decompressor to
* support XZ, the fixed overhead has to be increased from 18+32768 bytes
* to 128+65536 bytes.
