[PATCH 1/6] lib/decompress_*: only include linux/slab.h if STATIC is not defined

2009-08-03 Thread Albin Tonnerre
These includes were added by 079effb6933f34b9b1b67b08bd4fd7fb672d16ef to fix the build when using kmemtrace. However this is not necessary when used to create a compressed kernel, and actually creates issues (brings a lot of things unavailable in the decompression environment), so don't include it

[PATCH 2/6] include/linux/unaligned/{l,b}e_byteshift.h: Fix usage for compressed kernels

2009-08-03 Thread Albin Tonnerre
When unaligned accesses are required for uncompressing a kernel (such as for LZO decompression on ARM in a patch that follows), including linux/kernel.h causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are not available in the decompression environment. However, those files apparently use

[PATCH 4/6] Add support for LZO-compressed kernels for ARM

2009-08-03 Thread Albin Tonnerre
This is the second part of patch. This part includes: - changes to ach/arch/boot/Makefile to make it easier to add new compression types - new piggy.lzo.S necessary for lzo compression - changes in arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.c to allow the use of lzo or gzip, depending on the config -
