From e397a603e49cc7c7c113fad9f55a09637f290c34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Parth Pancholi Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2024 15:56:44 +0100 Subject: kbuild: switch from lz4c to lz4 for compression Replace lz4c with lz4 for kernel image compression. Although lz4 and lz4c are functionally similar, lz4c has been deprecated upstream since 2018. Since as early as Ubuntu 16.04 and Fedora 25, lz4 and lz4c have been packaged together, making it safe to update the requirement from lz4c to lz4. Consequently, some distributions and build systems, such as OpenEmbedded, have fully transitioned to using lz4. OpenEmbedded core adopted this change in commit fe167e082cbd ("bitbake.conf: require lz4 instead of lz4c"), causing compatibility issues when building the mainline kernel in the latest OpenEmbedded environment, as seen in the errors below. This change also updates the LZ4 compression commands to make it backward compatible by replacing stdin and stdout with the '-' option, due to some unclear reason, the stdout keyword does not work for lz4 and '-' works for both. In addition, this modifies the legacy '-c1' with '-9' which is also compatible with both. This fixes the mainline kernel build failures with the latest master OpenEmbedded builds associated with the mentioned compatibility issues.
