Cover letter [RFC PATCH 0/3] ARM: uncompress.h multi-platform enablement
Quoted 10 lines · Stephen Warren
From: Stephen Warren <[email protected]>
Tegra's uncompress and
debug-macro.Scommunicate to each-other. Hence, we can't be left withoutuncompress.hin a multi-platform enabled kernel, or we'll lose features. This series allowsuncompress.hto be used in a multi-platform kernel, restores the mvebuuncompress.h, and finally moves the Tegra debug macros into the common location. The series as mainly an RFC due to the outstanding question of where to put Tegra's <mach/iomap.h> in the final patch.
To follow up on the IRC discussion we had yesterday leading to this patch set, I had another idea of how to handle the same: Since the decompressor code is actually fairly separate from the kernel, we could also build multiple versions of it, and link in the same compressed vmlinux.
We already allow building Image/zImage/uImage from the same vmlinux, and that could theoretically be extended.
Your approach of course also sounds ok, and we could eventually combine the two.
