[OS-BUILD PATCHv4 0/3] redhat/kernel.spec.template: Add global compression variables

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Prarit Bhargava on gitlab.com
Merge Request: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/2173

Most of the kernel and its packing is currently xz.  There are two
exceptions: the aarch64 boot an initrd images [1] and KABI.  Mark gzip as
only being necessary for aarch64, and change the KABI symbol compression
to xz.

There are other compression algorithms that are becoming more popular.  To
prepare for this change,  add a compression variable and compression file
extension variable.

Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@xxxxxxxxxx>

[1] There is upstream work on implementing xz and other compression
algorithms for aarch64.  This work should be completed in the next few
upstream kernel and bootloader releases.
