2014-04-08initramfs: debug detected compression methodDaniel M. Weeks1-0/+3
This can greatly aid in narrowing down the real source of initramfs problems such as failures related to the compression of the in-kernel initramfs when an external initramfs is in use as well. Existing errors are ambiguous as to which initramfs is a problem and why. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use pr_debug()] Signed-off-by: Daniel M.

2013-07-09lib: add support for LZ4-compressed kernelKyungsik Lee1-0/+5
Add support for extracting LZ4-compressed kernel images, as well as LZ4-compressed ramdisk images in the kernel boot process. Signed-off-by: Kyungsik Lee <kyungsik.lee@lge.com> Cc: "H.

2012-10-05lib/decompress.c add __init to decompress_method and dataHein Tibosch1-3/+6
Fix the warning: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x14cfd8): Section mismatch in reference from the variable compressed_formats to the function .init.text:gunzip() The function compressed_formats() references the function __init gunzip(). etc.. Within decompress.c, compressed_formats[] needs 'a __initdata annotation', because some of it's data members refer to functions which will be unloaded after init. Consequently, its user decompress_method() will get the __init prefix.

2011-01-13decompressors: add boot-time XZ supportLasse Collin1-0/+5
This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd; XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes. The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel. Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be increased (30 KiB is enough). The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

2009-02-20bzip2/lzma: don't stop search at first unconfigured compressionAlain Knaff1-1/+1
Impact: Bugfix, avoids kernels which build but panic on boot Fix a bug in decompress.c : only scanned until the first non-configured compressor (with disastrous result especially if that was gzip.) Signed-off-by: Alain Knaff <alain@knaff.lu> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
