kbuild: Make scripts executable

The Makefiles call the respective interpreter explicitly, but this makes it easier to use the scripts manually. Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

xz: Enable BCJ filters on SPARC and 32-bit x86

2012-04-18T20:13:18Z

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. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin Acked-by: Jan Beulich Acked-by: H.

decompressors: add XZ decompressor module

2011-01-13T16:03:24Z

In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that got superseded by the .xz format. Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by XZ Utils. These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel. Most of the code is as is from XZ Embedded . It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too. Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel: - Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. - Integrity check support (CRC32) - BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower. This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module (xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool, and documentation. The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ decompressor e.g. for Squashfs. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin Cc: "H.
