      bzip2/lzma: x86 kernel compression support · ae03c499
      Alain Knaff 提交于
      Impact: Replaces x86 kernel decompressor with new code
      
      This is the third part of the bzip2/lzma patch
      
      The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for
      compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both
      compressors give smaller sizes than gzip.  Lzma's decompresses faster
      than bzip2.
      
      It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two
      compressors.
      
      The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by
      the udpcast project
      
      This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28
      
      This part contains:
      - support for new bzip2 and lzma kernel compression for x86

      bzip2/lzma: use a table to search for initramfs compression formats · b172fd88
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Impact: Code simplification
      
      Instead of open-coding testing for initramfs compression formats, use
      a table.

      This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28
      
      This part contains:
      - support for new compressions (bzip2 and lzma) in initramfs and
      old-style ramdisk
      - config dialog for kernel compression (but new kernel compressions
      not yet supported)

      This part contains:

      - implementation of bzip2 compression (not used at this stage yet)
      - implementation of lzma compression (not used at this stage yet)
      - Makefile routines to support bzip2 and lzma kernel compression
