110 | The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable. |
111 | Several compression algorithms are available, which differ | |
112 | in efficiency, compression and decompression speed. | |
113 | Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel. | |
114 | Decompression speed is relevant at each boot. | |

118 | version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was | |

904 | that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access | |

5f054e31 RR |
1733 | Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and |
1734 | cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask | |
98a79d6a RR |
1735 | with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised, |
1736 | it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs | |
692105b8 | 1737 | and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys. |
