87bf54bb43 squashfs: Add zstd support
Add zstd compression and decompression support to SquashFS. zstd is a
great fit for SquashFS because it can compress at ratios approaching xz,
while decompressing twice as fast as zlib. For SquashFS in particular,
it can decompress as fast as lzo and lz4. It also has the flexibility
to turn down the compression ratio for faster compression times.

The compression benchmark is run on the file tree from the SquashFS archive
found in ubuntu-16.10-desktop-amd64.iso [1]. It uses `mksquashfs` with the
default block size (128 KB) and and various compression algorithms/levels.
xz and zstd are also benchmarked with 256 KB blocks. The decompression
benchmark times how long it takes to `tar` the file tree into `/dev/null`.
See the benchmark file in the upstream zstd source repository located under
`contrib/linux-kernel/squashfs-benchmark.sh` [2] for details.

I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
16 GB of RAM, and a SSD.

0d455c12c6 Squashfs: Directly decompress into the page cache for file data
This introduces an implementation of squashfs_readpage_block()
that directly decompresses into the page cache.

This uses the previously added page handler abstraction to push
down the necessary kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic operations on the
page cache buffers into the decompressors.  This enables
direct copying into the page cache without using the slow
kmap/kunmap calls.

The code detects when multiple threads are racing in
squashfs_readpage() to decompress the same block, and avoids
this regression by falling back to using an intermediate
buffer.

This patch enhances the performance of Squashfs significantly
when multiple processes are accessing the filesystem simultaneously
because it not only reduces memcopying, but it more importantly
eliminates the lock contention on the intermediate buffer.

Using single-thread decompression.

        dd if=file1 of=/dev/null bs=4096 &
        dd if=file2 of=/dev/null bs=4096 &
        dd if=file3 of=/dev/null bs=4096 &
        dd if=file4 of=/dev/null bs=4096

Before:

629145600 bytes (629 MB) copied, 45.8046 s, 13.7 MB/s

After:

629145600 bytes (629 MB) copied, 9.29414 s, 67.7 MB/s

d208383d64 Squashfs: add multi-threaded decompression using percpu variable
Add a multi-threaded decompression implementation which uses
percpu variables.

Using percpu variables has advantages and disadvantages over
implementations which do not use percpu variables.

Advantages:
  * the nature of percpu variables ensures decompression is
    load-balanced across the multiple cores.
  * simplicity.

Disadvantages: it limits decompression to one thread per core.

7657cacf47 Squashfs: Add an option to set dev block size to 4K
This commit adds an option to set the device block size used to 4K.

By default Squashfs sets the device block size (sb_min_blocksize) to 1K
or the smallest block size supported by the block device (if larger).
This, because blocks are packed together and unaligned in Squashfs,
should reduce latency.

This, however, gives poor performance on MTD NAND devices where
the optimal I/O size is 4K (even though the devices can support
smaller block sizes).

Using a 4K device block size may also improve overall I/O
performance for some file access patterns (e.g. sequential
accesses of files in filesystem order) on all media.

395cf9691d doc: fix broken references
There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.

cc6d349714 Squashfs: Make ZLIB compression support optional
Squashfs now supports XZ and LZO compression in addition to ZLIB.
As such it no longer makes sense to always include ZLIB support.
In particular embedded systems may only use LZO or XZ compression, and
the ability to exclude ZLIB support will reduce kernel size.
