This can be either a single cpio archive with a .cpio suffix or a
|
|
space-separated list of directories and files for building the
|
|
initramfs image. A cpio archive should contain a filesystem archive
|
|
to be used as an initramfs image. Directories should contain a
|
|
filesystem layout to be included in the initramfs image. Files
|
|
should contain entries according to the format described by the
|
|
"usr/gen_init_cpio" program in the kernel tree.
|
|
|
|
When multiple directories and files are specified then the
|
|
initramfs image will be the aggregate of all of them.
|
|
|

See <file:Documentation/early-userspace/README> for more details.

prompt "Built-in initramfs compression mode" if INITRAMFS_SOURCE!=""

help
|
|
This option decides by which algorithm the builtin initramfs
|
|
will be compressed. Several compression algorithms are
|
|
available, which differ in efficiency, compression and
|
|
decompression speed. Compression speed is only relevant
|
|
when building a kernel. Decompression speed is relevant at
|
|
each boot.
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems with bzip2 or LZMA compressed
|
|
initramfs, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>.
|
|
|
|
High compression options are mostly useful for users who are
|
|
low on RAM, since it reduces the memory consumption during
|
|
boot.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, select 'gzip'
|
|

config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE
|
|
bool "None"
|
|
help
|
|
Do not compress the built-in initramfs at all. This may
|
|
sound wasteful in space, but, you should be aware that the
|
|
built-in initramfs will be compressed at a later stage
|
|
anyways along with the rest of the kernel, on those
|
|
architectures that support this.
|
|
However, not compressing the initramfs may lead to slightly
|
|
higher memory consumption during a short time at boot, while
|
|
both the cpio image and the unpacked filesystem image will
|
|
be present in memory simultaneously

bool "Bzip2"

help
|

Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
|
|
Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The initramfs
|
|
size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
|
|
Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
|
|
will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.

This algorithm's compression ratio is best.

Decompression speed is between the other choices.

Compression is slowest. The initramfs size is about 33%

XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm. The initramfs size is about 30%

Its compression ratio is the poorest among the choices. The kernel
|

size is about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed
|
|
(both compression and decompression) is the fastest.
