commit 10756dc5b02bff370ddd351d7744bc99ada659c2 upstream.

As linux/nfc.h userspace compilation was finally fixed by commits
79b69a83705e ("nfc: uapi: use kernel size_t to fix user-space builds")
and 7175f02c4e5f ("uapi: fix linux/nfc.h userspace compilation errors"),
there is no need to keep the compile-test exception for it in
usr/include/Makefile.

commit d1ad2721b1eb05d54e81393a7ebc332d4a35c68f upstream.

The file now rightfully throws up a big warning that it should never be
included, so remove it from the header_check test.

The pattern prefixed with '/' matches files in the same directory,
but not ones in sub-directories.

<title>kbuild: replace LANG=C with LC_ALL=C</title>

LANG gives a weak default to each LC_* in case it is not explicitly
defined. LC_ALL, if set, overrides all other LC_* variables.

  LANG  &lt;  LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, ...  &lt;  LC_ALL

This is why documentation such as [1] suggests to set LC_ALL in build
scripts to get the deterministic result.

LANG=C is not strong enough to override LC_* that may be set by end
users.

<content type='text'>
The current .gitignore intends to ignore everything under usr/include/
except .gitignore and Makefile.

A cleaner solution is to use a pattern suffixed with '/', which matches
only directories. It works well here because all the exported headers
are located in sub-directories, like &lt;linux/*.h&gt;, &lt;asm/*.h&gt;.

Commit be1859bdc660 ("initramfs: remove redundant dependency on
BLK_DEV_INITRD") removed all redundant dependencies on BLK_DEV_INITRD,
but the recent addition of zstd support introduced a new one.

Perfmon support (used by oprofile earlier) was removed by commit
ecf5b72d5f66 ("ia64: Remove perfmon") earlier, but it missed few files
to remove/update.

- Add support for a zstd compressed initramfs.

- Add compression for compressing built-in initramfs with zstd.

I have tested this patch by boot testing with buildroot and QEMU.
Specifically, I booted the kernel with both a zstd and gzip compressed
initramfs, both built into the kernel and separate. I ensured that the
correct compression algorithm was used. I tested on arm, aarch64, i386,
and x86_64.

This patch has been tested in production on aarch64 and x86_64 devices.

Additionally, I have performance measurements from internal use in
production. On an aarch64 device we saw 19 second boot time improvement
from switching from lzma to zstd (27 seconds to 8 seconds). On an x86_64
device we saw a 9 second boot time reduction from switching from xz to
zstd.
