Subject: [PATCHv6 06/13] kexec_file: Implement decompress method for parser
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 11:24:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260119032424.10781-7-piliu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260119032424.10781-1-piliu@redhat.com>
On arm64, there is no boot-time decompression for the kernel image.
Therefore, when a compressed kernel image is loaded, it must be
decompressed.
It is impractical to implement the complex decompression methods in BPF
bytecode. However, decompression routines exist in the kernel. This
patch bridges the compressed data with the kernel's decompression
methods.
