Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] xz: add arch-specific tuning for alpha
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 12:53:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017-alpha-kernel-compression-v2-1-c71e6b08dc63@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261017-alpha-kernel-compression-v2-0-c71e6b08dc63@gmail.com>
Alpha has fixed-length, 4-byte-aligned instructions and no XZ BCJ
filter, so it wants the same LZMA2 settings as the other 4-byte-aligned
targets. Without an entry it hits the default case, which warns
scripts/xz_wrap.sh: Arch-specific tuning is missing for 'alpha'
and conservatively assumes 2-byte alignment. Alpha gains HAVE_KERNEL_XZ
later in this series; the correct alignment also shrinks a UP1500
kernel's XZ image from 6469320 to 6448840 bytes.
