<title>x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang</title>

<id>f5caf621ee357279e759c0911daf6d55c7d36f03</id>
<content type='text'>
For inline asm statements which have a CALL instruction, we list the
stack pointer as a constraint to convince GCC to ensure the frame
pointer is set up first:

  static inline void foo()
  {
	register void *__sp asm(_ASM_SP);
	asm("call bar" : "+r" (__sp))
  }

Unfortunately, that pattern causes Clang to corrupt the stack pointer.

The fix is easy: convert the stack pointer register variable to a global
variable.

It should be noted that the end result is different based on the GCC
version.  With GCC 6.4, this patch has exactly the same result as
before:

	defconfig	defconfig-nofp	distro		distro-nofp
 before	9820389		9491555		8816046		8516940
 after	9820389		9491555		8816046		8516940

With GCC 7.2, however, GCC's behavior has changed.  It now changes its
behavior based on the conversion of the register variable to a global.
That somehow convinces it to *always* set up the frame pointer before
inserting *any* inline asm.  (Therefore, listing the variable as an
output constraint is a no-op and is no longer necessary.)  It's a bit
overkill, but the performance impact should be negligible.  And in fact,
there's a nice improvement with frame pointers disabled:

	defconfig	defconfig-nofp	distro		distro-nofp
 before	9796316		9468236		9076191		8790305
 after	9796957		9464267		9076381		8785949

So in summary, while listing the stack pointer as an output constraint
is no longer necessary for newer versions of GCC, it's still needed for
older versions.

gcc-7 optimizes the byte-wise accesses of get_unaligned_le32() into
word-wise accesses if the 32-bit integer output_len is declared as
external. This panics then the bootloader since we don't have the
unaligned access fault trap handler installed during boot time.

Avoid this optimization by declaring output_len as byte-aligned and thus
unbreak the bootloader code.

Additionally, compile the boot code optimized for size.

By adding the feature to build the kernel as self-extracting
executeable, the possibility to simply compress the kernel with gzip was
lost.

This patch now reintroduces this possibilty again and leaves it up to
the user to decide how the kernel should be built.

The palo bootloader is able to natively load both formats.
