crypto: lzo - Fix compression buffer overrun

Unlike the decompression code, the compression code in LZO never
checked for output overruns. It instead assumes that the caller
always provides enough buffer space, disregarding the buffer length
provided by the caller.

Add a safe compression interface that checks for the end of buffer
before each write. Use the safe interface in crypto/lzo.

kbuild: trace functions in subdirectories of lib/

ccflags-remove-$(CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) += $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)

exists here in sub-directories of lib/ to keep the behavior of
commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions").

Since that commit, not only the objects in lib/ but also the ones in
the sub-directories are excluded from ftrace (although the commit
description did not explicitly mention this).

However, most of library functions in sub-directories are not so hot.
Re-add them to ftrace.

Going forward, only the objects right under lib/ will be excluded.

kbuild: introduce ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y

CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file>.o filters out flags when compiling a particular
object, but there is no convenient way to do that for every object in
a directory.

Add ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y to make it easily.

Use ccflags-remove-y to clean up some Makefiles.

The add/remove order works as follows:

[1] KBUILD_CFLAGS specifies compiler flags used globally

[2] ccflags-y adds compiler flags for all objects in the
current Makefile

[3] ccflags-remove-y removes compiler flags for all objects in the
current Makefile (New feature)

[4] CFLAGS_<file> adds compiler flags per file.

[5] CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file> removes compiler flags per file.

Having [3] before [4] allows us to remove flags from most (but not all)
objects in the current Makefile.

For example, kernel/trace/Makefile removes $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
from all objects in the directory, then adds it back to
trace_selftest_dynamic.o and CFLAGS_trace_kprobe_selftest.o

The same applies to lib/livepatch/Makefile.

Please note ccflags-remove-y has no effect to the sub-directories.
In contrast, the previous notation got rid of compiler flags also from
all the sub-directories.

The following are not affected because they have no sub-directories:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/
arch/powerpc/xmon/
arch/sh/
kernel/trace/

However, lib/ has several sub-directories.

To keep the behavior, I added ccflags-remove-y to all Makefiles
in subdirectories of lib/, except the following:

lib/vdso/Makefile - Kbuild does not descend into this Makefile
lib/raid/test/Makefile - This is not used for the kernel build

I think commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions")
excluded too much. In the next commit, I will remove ccflags-remove-y
from the sub-directories of lib/.

Add LZO1X algorithm to the kernel

This is a hybrid version of the patch to add the LZO1X compression
algorithm to the kernel. Nitin and myself have merged the best parts of
the various patches to form this version which we're both happy with (and
are jointly signing off).

The performance of this version is equivalent to the original minilzo code
it was based on. Bytecode comparisons have also been made on ARM, i386 and
x86_64 with favourable results.

There are several users of LZO lined up including jffs2, crypto and reiser4
since its much faster than zlib.
