xz: add RISC-V BCJ filter

2024-09-02T03:43:26Z

A later commit updates lib/decompress_unxz.c to enable this filter for kernel decompression. lib/decompress_unxz.c is already used if CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT=y && CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=y. This filter can be used by Squashfs without modifications to the Squashfs kernel code (only needs support in userspace Squashfs-tools).

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture

2023-09-11T08:13:17Z

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

lib/xz: Add MicroLZMA decoder

2021-10-19T15:44:30Z

MicroLZMA is a yet another header format variant where the first byte of a raw LZMA stream (without the end of stream marker) has been replaced with a bitwise-negation of the lc/lp/pb properties byte. MicroLZMA was created to be used in EROFS but can be used by other things too where wasting minimal amount of space for headers is important. This is implemented using most of the LZMA2 code as is so the amount of new code is small. The API has a few extra features compared to the XZ decoder. On the other hand, the API lacks XZ_BUF_ERROR support which is important to take into account when using this API. MicroLZMA doesn't support BCJ filters. In theory they could be added later as there are many unused/reserved values for the first byte of the compressed stream but in practice it is somewhat unlikely to happen due to a few implementation reasons.

docs: move remaining stuff under Documentation/*.txt to Documentation/staging

2020-06-19T20:17:05Z

There are several files that I was unable to find a proper place for them, and 3 ones that are still in plain old text format. Let's place those stuff behind the carpet, as we'd like to keep the root directory clean. We can later discuss and move those into better places.

lib/xz: enable all filters by default in Kconfig

2014-06-04T23:54:18Z

This restores the old behavior that existed before 2013-02-22, when changes were made by 64dbfb444c150 ("decompressors: drop dependency on CONFIG_EXPERT") and 5dc49c75a2 ("decompressors: make the default XZ_DEC_* config match the selected architecture"). Disabling the filters only makes sense on embedded systems.

decompressors: fix typo "POWERPC"

2013-03-13T22:21:48Z

Commit 5dc49c75a26b ("decompressors: make the default XZ_DEC_* config match the selected architecture") added default y if POWERPC to lib/xz/Kconfig. But there is no Kconfig symbol POWERPC. The most general Kconfig symbol for the powerpc architecture is PPC. So let's use that.

decompressors: make the default XZ_DEC_* config match the selected architecture

2013-02-22T01:22:26Z

Change the defautl XZ_DEC_* config symbol to match the configured architecture. It is perfectly legitimate to support multiple XZ BCJ filters for different architectures (e.g.: to mount foreign squashfs/xz compressed filesystems), it is however more natural not to select them all by default, but only the one matching the configured architecture.
