      initramfs: support initramfs that is bigger than 2GiB · d97b07c5
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      Now with 64bit bzImage and kexec tools, we support ramdisk that size is
      bigger than 2g, as we could put it above 4G.
      
      Found compressed initramfs image could not be decompressed properly.  It
      turns out that image length is int during decompress detection, and it
      will become < 0 when length is more than 2G.  Furthermore, during
      decompressing len as int is used for inbuf count, that has problem too.
      
      Change len to long, that should be ok as on 32 bit platform long is
      32bits.
      
      Tested with following compressed initramfs image as root with kexec.
      	gzip, bzip2, xz, lzma, lzop, lz4.
      run time for populate_rootfs():

      decompressors: add boot-time XZ support · 3ebe1243
      Lasse Collin 提交于
      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.
