Since hardware inflate does not support Z_PACKET_FLUSH option (used
exclusively by kernel PPP driver), always switch to software like we
already do for Z_BLOCK flush option. Without this patch, PPP might get
Z_DATA_ERROR return code from zlib_inflate() and disable zlib compression
for the packets.

There is no hardware control for DFLTCC window size. After this change,
software and hardware window formats no longer match: the software will
use wbits and wsize, and the hardware will use HB_BITS and HB_SIZE.
Since neither dictionary manipulation nor internal allocation functions
are relevant to kernel zlib and zlib_inflate_workspacesize() always use
MAX_WBITS for window size calculation, only dfltcc_can_inflate() and
dfltcc_inflate() functions are affected by this patch.

Currently deflate and inflate both use a common state struct. There are
several variables in this struct that we don't need for inflate, and
more may be coming in the future. Therefore split them in two separate
structs.
Apart from that, introduce separate headers for dfltcc_deflate and
dfltcc_inflate.

Patch series "lib/zlib: Set of s390 DFLTCC related patches for kernel zlib".
Patches 1-7 represent a set of s390 zlib hardware support (DFLTCC) related
fixes and enhancements integrated from zlib-ng repo relevant to kernel
zlib (https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng).
Since the official zlib repository never got DFLTCC support code merged,
all the patches have been picked from zlib-ng fork (zlib data compression
library for the next generation systems). This repo contains new
optimizations and fixes not getting implemented into the official zlib
repository and falls under the same zlib License. All of the original
patches from zlib-ng were authored by Ilya Leoshkevich
<iii@linux.ibm.com>. Coding style has been preserved for future
maintainability.
Patches 1-2 should have no effect for the kernel zlib but make the code
closer to zlib-ng for future maintainability.
Only Patch 3 touches common zlib_deflate code, other patches are relevant
to s390 tree only.
Patch 8 is separate and intends to resolve an issue with kernel PPP driver
which can use kernel zlib for packet compression. Without this patch PPP
decompression can fail due to error code returned by hardware
(dfltcc_inflate) and PPP disables zlib compression for further packets.
This patch (of 8):

In commit 11fb479ff5 ("zlib: export S390 symbols for zlib modules"), I
added EXPORT_SYMBOL()s to dfltcc_inflate.c but then Mikhail said that
these should probably be in dfltcc_syms.c with the other
EXPORT_SYMBOL()s.
However, that is contrary to the current kernel style, which places
EXPORT_SYMBOL() immediately after the function that it applies to, so
move all EXPORT_SYMBOL()s to their respective function locations and
drop the dfltcc_syms.c file. Also move MODULE_LICENSE() from the
deleted file to dfltcc.c.

Decompressing zlib streams on s390 fails with "incorrect data check"
error.
Userspace zlib checks inflate_state.flags in order to byteswap checksums
only for zlib streams, and s390 hardware inflate code, which was ported
from there, tries to match this behavior. At the same time, kernel zlib
does not use inflate_state.flags, so it contains essentially random
values. For many use cases either zlib stream is zeroed out or checksum
is not used, so this problem is masked, but at least SquashFS is still
affected.
Fix by always passing a checksum to and from the hardware as is, which
matches zlib_inflate()'s expectations.

Patch series "S390 hardware support for kernel zlib", v3.
With IBM z15 mainframe the new DFLTCC instruction is available. It
implements deflate algorithm in hardware (Nest Acceleration Unit - NXU)
with estimated compression and decompression performance orders of
magnitude faster than the current zlib.
This patchset adds s390 hardware compression support to kernel zlib.
The code is based on the userspace zlib implementation:
https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410
The coding style is also preserved for future maintainability. There is
only limited set of userspace zlib functions represented in kernel.
Apart from that, all the memory allocation should be performed in
advance. Thus, the workarea structures are extended with the parameter
lists required for the DEFLATE CONVENTION CALL instruction.
Since kernel zlib itself does not support gzip headers, only Adler-32
checksum is processed (also can be produced by DFLTCC facility). Like
it was implemented for userspace, kernel zlib will compress in hardware
on level 1, and in software on all other levels. Decompression will
always happen in hardware (when enabled).
Two DFLTCC compression calls produce the same results only when they
both are made on machines of the same generation, and when the
respective buffers have the same offset relative to the start of the
page. Therefore care should be taken when using hardware compression
when reproducible results are desired. However it does always produce
the standard conform output which can be inflated anyway.
The new kernel command line parameter 'dfltcc' is introduced to
configure s390 zlib hardware support:
Format: { on | off | def_only | inf_only | always }
on: s390 zlib hardware support for compression on
level 1 and decompression (default)
off: No s390 zlib hardware support
def_only: s390 zlib hardware support for deflate
only (compression on level 1)
inf_only: s390 zlib hardware support for inflate
only (decompression)
always: Same as 'on' but ignores the selected compression
level always using hardware support (used for debugging)
The main purpose of the integration of the NXU support into the kernel
zlib is the use of hardware deflate in btrfs filesystem with on-the-fly
compression enabled. Apart from that, hardware support can also be used
during boot for decompressing the kernel or the ramdisk image
With the patch for btrfs expanding zlib buffer from 1 to 4 pages (patch
6) the following performance results have been achieved using the
ramdisk with btrfs. These are relative numbers based on throughput rate
and compression ratio for zlib level 1:
Input data Deflate rate Inflate rate Compression ratio
NXU/Software NXU/Software NXU/Software
stream of zeroes 1.46 1.02 1.00
random ASCII data 10.44 3.00 0.96
ASCII text (dickens) 6,21 3.33 0.94
binary data (vmlinux) 8,37 3.90 1.02
This means that s390 hardware deflate can provide up to 10 times faster
compression (on level 1) and up to 4 times faster decompression (refers
to all compression levels) for btrfs zlib.
Disclaimer: Performance results are based on IBM internal tests using DD
command-line utility on btrfs on a Fedora 30 based internal driver in
native LPAR on a z15 system. Results may vary based on individual
workload, configuration and software levels.
This patch (of 9):
Create zlib_dfltcc library with the s390 DEFLATE CONVERSION CALL
implementation and related compression functions. Update zlib_deflate
functions with the hooks for s390 hardware support and adjust workspace
structures with extra parameter lists required for hardware deflate.
