From 8922622858e7af7cfca2ed2d68090140348cc6a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kyle McMartin Date: Tue, 6 May 2014 13:02:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] kernel.spec: xz compress modules on i686 and x86_64 Pretty grody, but it seems to be working... it has to happen after module signing (obviously) and after find-debuginfo.sh runs as well, so tacking it onto the end seems sensible, and then just fixing up the file lists as we go. Provides a nice tidy savings to the disk footprint: kyle@dreadnought:~% for i in kernel-core-3.15.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc21.x86_64.rpm \ kernel-core-3.15.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc21.x86_64.rpm.1; do \ rpm -qip $i | grep '^Size'; done Size : 43011603 Size : 81106737 kmod has handed .xz and .gz modules for a long time now, and can cope. I was thinking we might also %ghost the .ko, and have a %post install script that un-xz the modules in /proc/modules, but none of them are big enough for that to be worthwhile I think (maybe XFS, but I doubt it.) --Kyle --- kernel.spec | 15 ++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel.spec b/kernel.spec index ec8ee4f44..8563cc645 100644 --- a/kernel.spec +++ b/kernel.spec @@ -12,8 +12,14 @@ Summary: The Linux kernel # architectures are added. %ifarch %{ix86} x86_64 %global signmodules 1 +%global zipmodules 1 %else %global signmodules 0 +%global zipmodules 0 +%endif + +%if %{zipmodules} +%global zipsed -e 's/\.ko$/\.ko.xz/' %endif # % define buildid .local @@ -1703,9 +1709,9 @@ BuildKernel() { # Make sure the files lists start with absolute paths or rpmbuild fails. # Also add in the dir entries - sed -e 's/^lib*/\/lib/' $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/k-d.list > ../kernel${Flavour:+-${Flavour}}-modules.list - sed -e 's/^lib*/%dir \/lib/' $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/module-dirs.list > ../kernel${Flavour:+-${Flavour}}-core.list - sed -e 's/^lib*/\/lib/' $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/modules.list >> ../kernel${Flavour:+-${Flavour}}-core.list + sed -e 's/^lib*/\/lib/' %{?zipsed} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/k-d.list > ../kernel${Flavour:+-${Flavour}}-modules.list + sed -e 's/^lib*/%dir \/lib/' %{?zipsed} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/module-dirs.list > ../kernel${Flavour:+-${Flavour}}-core.list + sed -e 's/^lib*/\/lib/' %{?zipsed} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/modules.list >> ../kernel${Flavour:+-${Flavour}}-core.list # Cleanup rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/k-d.list @@ -1826,6 +1832,9 @@ popd %{modsign_cmd} signing_key.priv.sign signing_key.x509.sign $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/lib/modules/%{KVERREL}/ \ fi \ fi \ + if [ "%{zipmodules}" -eq "1" ]; then \ + find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/lib/modules/ -type f -name '*.ko' | xargs xz; \ + fi \ %{nil} ###
