Subject: [PATCH] xz: Enable BCJ filters on SPARC and 32-bit x86
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:34:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120319203408.6d5b2b76@tukaani.org> (raw)
From: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org>
The BCJ filters were meant to be enabled already on these
archs, but the xz_wrap.sh script was buggy. Enabling the
filters should give smaller kernel images.
xz_wrap.sh will now use $SRCARCH instead of $ARCH to detect
the architecture. That way it doesn't need to care about the
subarchs (like i386 vs. x86_64) since the BCJ filters don't
care either.

I'm not sure if this should be fixed in stable kernels.
It's not a critical bug so maybe it is better to not
touch the stable kernels.
