Message-ID: <20250809015529.373693-1-daniel@0x0f.com> Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2025 10:55:29 +0900 From: Daniel Palmer <daniel@...f.com> To: geert@...ux-m68k.org, linux-m68k@...ts.linux-m68k.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Daniel Palmer <daniel@...f.com> Subject: [PATCH] m68k: Add target for lz4 compressed vmlinux Traditionally gzip (/bzip?) has been the compressed image format but its a pain to decompress because its very hard to load and decompress it in chunks which you need to do if you don't have enough memory to load the whole kernel image and decompress it somewhere else. With lz4 you can set a block size, read it from the header, and then you only need memory for a single block and the decompressed kernel. I use lz4 compressed images on 68000 with 8MB of ram and MVME147 with 16MB. I want to use lz4 in my fork of EMILE to boot m68k macs because streaming decompress of gzip is painful.
