* Decompressors: fix callback-to-callback mode in decompress_unlzo.cLasse Collin2011-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Callback-to-callback decompression mode is used for initrd (not initramfs). The LZO wrapper is broken for this use case for two reasons: - The argument validation is needlessly too strict by requiring that "posp" is non-NULL when "fill" is non-NULL. - The buffer handling code didn't work at all for this use case. I tested with LZO-compressed kernel, initramfs, initrd, and corrupt (truncated) initramfs and initrd images. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

* Decompressors: check input size in decompress_unlzo.cLasse Collin2011-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code assumes that the input is valid and not truncated. Add checks to avoid reading past the end of the input buffer. Change the type of "skip" from u8 to int to fix a possible integer overflow. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

* Decompressors: check for write errors in decompress_unlzo.cLasse Collin2011-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The return value of flush() is not checked in unlzo(). This means that the decompressor won't stop even if the caller doesn't want more data. This can happen e.g. with a corrupt LZO-compressed initramfs image. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

* Decompressors: include <linux/slab.h> in <linux/decompress/mm.h>Lasse Collin2011-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently users of mm.h need to include <linux/slab.h> to use the macros malloc() and free() provided by mm.h. This fixes it.

* Decompressors: get rid of set_error_fn() macroLasse Collin2011-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | set_error_fn() has become a useless complication after c1e7c3ae59 ("bzip2/lzma/gzip: pre-boot malloc doesn't return NULL on failure") fixed the use of error() in malloc(). Only decompress_unlzma.c had some use for it and that was easy to change too. This also gets rid of the static function pointer "error", which should have been marked as __initdata.

* lib: fix the use of LZO to decompress initramfs imagesAlbin Tonnerre2010-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes 2 issues with the LZO decompressor: - It doesn't handle the case where a block isn't compressed at all. In this case, calling lzo1x_decompress_safe will fail, so we need to just use memcpy() instead (the upstream LZO code does something similar) - Since commit 54291362d2a5738e1b0495df2abcb9e6b0563a3f ("initramfs: add missing decompressor error check") , the decompressor return code is checked in the init/initramfs.c The LZO decompressor didn't return the expected value, causing the initramfs code to falsely believe a decompression error occured Signed-off-by: Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> Tested-by: bert schulze <spambemyguest@googlemail.com> Cc: "H.

* lib: add support for LZO-compressed kernelsAlbin Tonnerre2010-01-11
This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images. Russell King said: : Testing on a Cortex A9 model: : - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel : - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel : : which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two. : : However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code: : - new is 99% of the size of the old code : - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code : : What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better: : - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image : - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took : : So the expense seems definitely worth the effort. The only reason I : can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional : compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.) : : I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO. This patch: The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at extraction. Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on: Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo gzip 1.61Mo 0.72s lzo 1.75Mo 0.48s So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's much faster to extract, at least in that case. This part contains: - Makefile routine to support lzo compression - Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in compressed kernels - wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here - config dialog for kernel compression [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> Tested-by: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Acked-by: "H.
