Subject: AArch64 kernel image decompression
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:04:36 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140110170436.GS8153@joshc.qualcomm.com> (raw)
Hey Will-
Scanning the Documentation/arm64/booting.txt document, I came across
this, listing an optional step a bootloader might take:
"The AArch64 kernel does not currently provide a decompressor and
therefore requires decompression (gzip, etc.) to be performed by the
boot loader if a compressed Image target (e.g. Image.gz) is used."
Do you envision that, if a decompressor is desired, it will always be
the responsibility of a bootloader to implement it?
In other words, would you accept patches adding support for building
zImages (and others) for AArch64?
Thanks,
Josh
