Gao Xiang 47e4937a4a erofs: move erofs out of staging
EROFS filesystem has been merged into linux-staging for a year.

EROFS is designed to be a better solution of saving extra storage
space with guaranteed end-to-end performance for read-only files
with the help of reduced metadata, fixed-sized output compression
and decompression inplace technologies.

In the past year, EROFS was greatly improved by many people as
a staging driver, self-tested, betaed by a large number of our
internal users, successfully applied to almost all in-service
HUAWEI smartphones as the part of EMUI 9.1 and proven to be stable
enough to be moved out of staging.

EROFS is a self-contained filesystem driver. Although there are
still some TODOs to be more generic, we have a dedicated team
actively keeping on working on EROFS in order to make it better
with the evolution of Linux kernel as the other in-kernel filesystems.

As Pavel suggested, it's better to do as one commit since git
can do moves and all histories will be saved in this way.

Let's promote it from staging and enhance it more actively as
a "real" part of kernel for more wider scenarios!

config EROFS_FS
tristate "EROFS filesystem support"
depends on BLOCK
help
EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) is a lightweight
read-only file system with modern designs (eg. page-sized
blocks, inline xattrs/data, etc.) for scenarios which need
high-performance read-only requirements, e.g. Android OS
for mobile phones and LIVECDs.
It also provides fixed-sized output compression support,
which improves storage density, keeps relatively higher
compression ratios, which is more useful to achieve high
performance for embedded devices with limited memory.
If unsure, say N.
config EROFS_FS_DEBUG
bool "EROFS debugging feature"
depends on EROFS_FS
help
Print debugging messages and enable more BUG_ONs which check
filesystem consistency and find potential issues aggressively,
which can be used for Android eng build, for example.
For daily use, say N.
config EROFS_FAULT_INJECTION
bool "EROFS fault injection facility"
depends on EROFS_FS
help
Test EROFS to inject faults such as ENOMEM, EIO, and so on.
If unsure, say N.
config EROFS_FS_XATTR
bool "EROFS extended attributes"
depends on EROFS_FS
default y
help
Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
<http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
If unsure, say N.
config EROFS_FS_POSIX_ACL
bool "EROFS Access Control Lists"
depends on EROFS_FS_XATTR
select FS_POSIX_ACL
default y
help
Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.
config EROFS_FS_SECURITY
bool "EROFS Security Labels"
depends on EROFS_FS_XATTR
default y
help
Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux
Security Models (LSMs) accepted by AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO
Linux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file
security labels in the erofs filesystem, so that it requires enabling
the extended attribute support in advance.
If you are not using a security module, say N.
config EROFS_FS_ZIP
bool "EROFS Data Compression Support"
depends on EROFS_FS
select LZ4_DECOMPRESS
default y
help
Enable fixed-sized output compression for EROFS.
If you don't want to enable compression feature, say N.
config EROFS_FS_CLUSTER_PAGE_LIMIT
int "EROFS Cluster Pages Hard Limit"
depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
range 1 256
default "1"
help
Indicates maximum # of pages of a compressed
physical cluster.
For example, if files in a image were compressed
into 8k-unit, hard limit should not be configured
less than 2. Otherwise, the image will be refused
to mount on this kernel.
