Subject: [PATCH 3/3] alpha: support the remaining kernel compression formats
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 15:55:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912-alpha-kernel-compression-v1-3-ce9d55330193@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260912-alpha-kernel-compression-v1-0-ce9d55330193@gmail.com>
Nothing about the boot stub is specific to gzip, so wire up bzip2, lz4,
lzma, lzo, xz and zstd as well: select the matching HAVE_KERNEL_*
symbol, add a suffix-y entry and a compression rule for the piggy-backed
image, and include the decompressor into the stub's misc.c.
Only gzip's trailer already carries the uncompressed size, so the other
formats use the _with_size variants; output_len, which vmlinux.scr takes
from the last 4 bytes of the payload, then works for all of them. The
stub passes it to __decompress(), which zstd requires.
