2020-04-18rslib.h: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array memberGustavo A. R. Silva
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

2018-04-24rslib: Allocate decoder buffers to avoid VLAsThomas Gleixner
To get rid of the variable length arrays on stack in the RS decoder it's necessary to allocate the decoder buffers per control structure instance. All usage sites have been checked for potential parallel decoder usage and fixed where necessary. Kees confirmed that the pstore decoding is strictly single threaded so there should be no surprises. Allocate them in the rs control structure sized depending on the number of roots for the chosen codec and adapt the decoder code to make use of them. Document the fact that decode operations based on a particular rs control instance cannot run in parallel and the caller has to ensure that as it's not possible to provide a proper locking construct which fits all use cases.

2018-04-24rslib: Split rs control structThomas Gleixner
The decoder library uses variable length arrays on stack. To get rid of them it would be simple to allocate fixed length arrays on stack, but those might become rather large. The other solution is to allocate the buffers in the rs control structure, but this cannot be done as long as the structure can be shared by several users. Sharing is desired because the RS polynom tables are large and initialization is time consuming. To solve this split the codec information out of the control structure and have a pointer to a shared codec in it. Instantiate the control structure for each user, create a new codec if no shareable is avaiable yet. Adjust all affected usage sites to the new scheme. This allows to add per instance decoder buffers to the control structure later on.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
