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. Also the memory usage during decompression may become + relevant on memory constrained systems. This is usually based on the + dictionary size of the algorithm with algorithms like XZ and LZMA + featuring large dictionary sizes. + + High compression options are mostly useful for users who are + low on RAM, since it reduces the memory consumption during + boot. + + Keep in mind that your build system needs to provide the appropriate + compression tool to compress the generated initram cpio file for + embedding. + + If in doubt, select 'None' + +config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP + bool "Gzip" + depends on RD_GZIP + help + Use the old and well tested gzip compression algorithm.

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.

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 + +endchoice |
