initramfs: remove "compression mode" choice
Commit 9ba4bcb645
("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs
compression") removed the users of the various INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_*
Kconfig symbols. So since v3.13 the entire "Built-in initramfs
compression mode" choice is a set of knobs connected to nothing. The
entire choice can safely be removed.

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'

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

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.

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.
