From 64d8aaa4ef388b22372de4dc9ce3b9b3e5f45b6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2022 03:15:26 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: drop $(size_append) from cmd_zstd The appended file size is only used by the decompressors, which some architectures support. As the comment "zstd22 is used for kernel compression" says, cmd_zstd22 is used in arch/{mips,s390,x86}/boot/compressed/Makefile. On the other hand, there is no good reason to append the file size to cmd_zstd since it is used for other purposes. Actually cmd_zstd is only used in usr/Makefile, where the appended file size is rather harmful. The initramfs with its file size appended is considered as corrupted data, so commit 65e00e04e5ae ("initramfs: refactor the initramfs build rules") added 'override size_append := :' to make it no-op. As a conclusion, this $(size_append) should not exist here.
