2020-01-31lib/zlib: add s390 hardware support for kernel zlib_deflateMikhail Zaslonko
Patch series "S390 hardware support for kernel zlib", v3. With IBM z15 mainframe the new DFLTCC instruction is available. It implements deflate algorithm in hardware (Nest Acceleration Unit - NXU) with estimated compression and decompression performance orders of magnitude faster than the current zlib. This patchset adds s390 hardware compression support to kernel zlib. The code is based on the userspace zlib implementation: https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410 The coding style is also preserved for future maintainability. There is only limited set of userspace zlib functions represented in kernel. Apart from that, all the memory allocation should be performed in advance. Thus, the workarea structures are extended with the parameter lists required for the DEFLATE CONVENTION CALL instruction. Since kernel zlib itself does not support gzip headers, only Adler-32 checksum is processed (also can be produced by DFLTCC facility). Like it was implemented for userspace, kernel zlib will compress in hardware on level 1, and in software on all other levels. Decompression will always happen in hardware (when enabled). Two DFLTCC compression calls produce the same results only when they both are made on machines of the same generation, and when the respective buffers have the same offset relative to the start of the page. Therefore care should be taken when using hardware compression when reproducible results are desired. However it does always produce the standard conform output which can be inflated anyway. The new kernel command line parameter 'dfltcc' is introduced to configure s390 zlib hardware support: Format: { on | off | def_only | inf_only | always } on: s390 zlib hardware support for compression on level 1 and decompression (default) off: No s390 zlib hardware support def_only: s390 zlib hardware support for deflate only (compression on level 1) inf_only: s390 zlib hardware support for inflate only (decompression) always: Same as 'on' but ignores the selected compression level always using hardware support (used for debugging) The main purpose of the integration of the NXU support into the kernel zlib is the use of hardware deflate in btrfs filesystem with on-the-fly compression enabled. Apart from that, hardware support can also be used during boot for decompressing the kernel or the ramdisk image With the patch for btrfs expanding zlib buffer from 1 to 4 pages (patch 6) the following performance results have been achieved using the ramdisk with btrfs. These are relative numbers based on throughput rate and compression ratio for zlib level 1: Input data Deflate rate Inflate rate Compression ratio NXU/Software NXU/Software NXU/Software stream of zeroes 1.46 1.02 1.00 random ASCII data 10.44 3.00 0.96 ASCII text (dickens) 6,21 3.33 0.94 binary data (vmlinux) 8,37 3.90 1.02 This means that s390 hardware deflate can provide up to 10 times faster compression (on level 1) and up to 4 times faster decompression (refers to all compression levels) for btrfs zlib. Disclaimer: Performance results are based on IBM internal tests using DD command-line utility on btrfs on a Fedora 30 based internal driver in native LPAR on a z15 system. Results may vary based on individual workload, configuration and software levels. This patch (of 9): Create zlib_dfltcc library with the s390 DEFLATE CONVERSION CALL implementation and related compression functions. Update zlib_deflate functions with the hooks for s390 hardware support and adjust workspace structures with extra parameter lists required for hardware deflate.

2011-03-22zlib: slim down zlib_deflate() workspace when possibleJim Keniston
Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter values. For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to capture the whole report. In this case, a small workspace (24K works fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e., during an oops or panic) or at boot time. I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits (positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

2006-06-22[PATCH] zlib_inflate: Upgrade library code to a recent versionRichard Purdie
Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3. The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%) than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32). For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement. I don't consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to change the zlib_deflate code. Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate. This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to work. This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32. JFFS2 sees an approx. 10% real world file read speed improvement. This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value. We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will take care of that for us. This removal is also more in keeping with the zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
