From afacfa33ec4b52cb9ffb9b0a7a0c1e68cf264673 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Cournoyer Date: Sun, 12 May 2024 20:51:50 -0400 Subject: gnu: linux-libre: Enable Zstd compression of kernel modules. This brings the on disk size of the kernel from 164 MiB to 144 MiB, or about 12%. * gnu/packages/linux.scm (default-extra-linux-options) [version>=5.13]: Enable CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_ZSTD, else CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_GZIP. (make-linux-libre*) [phases] {set-environment}: Set ZSTD_CLEVEL environment variable to 19. [native-inputs]: Add zstd. * gnu/build/linux-modules.scm (module-regex): Add .zst to regexp. Update doc. (modinfo-section-contents): Extend support to Zstd compressed module. (dot-ko): Register the 'zstd compression type. (ensure-dot-ko, file-name->module-name, load-linux-module*) (module-name->file-name/guess, write-module-name-database) (write-module-alias-database, write-module-device-database): Update doc. (module-name-lookup): Also consider zstd-compressed modules. * gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Add guile-zstd extension to gexp. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (flat-linux-module-directory): Likewise. Decompress zstd-compressed modules for use in initrd. * guix/profiles.scm (linux-module-database): Add guile-zstd extension to gexp.
