@ -1866,14 +1866,38 @@ Since the BCJ-filtered data is usually compressed with LZMA2,
|
|||
the compression ratio may be improved slightly if
|
||||
the LZMA2 options are set to match the
|
||||
alignment of the selected BCJ filter.
|
||||
For example, with the IA-64 filter, it's good to set
|
||||
.B pb=4
|
||||
or even
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
.RS
|
||||
.IP \(bu 3
|
||||
IA-64 filter has 16-byte alignment so
|
||||
.B pb=4,lp=4,lc=0
|
||||
is good
|
||||
with LZMA2 (2^4=16).
|
||||
The x86 filter is an exception;
|
||||
it's usually good to stick to LZMA2's default
|
||||
four-byte alignment when compressing x86 executables.
|
||||
.IP \(bu 3
|
||||
RISC-V code has 2-byte or 4-byte alignment
|
||||
depending on whether the file contains
|
||||
16-bit compressed instructions (the C extension).
|
||||
When 16-bit instructions are used,
|
||||
.B pb=2,lp=1,lc=3
|
||||
or
|
||||
.B pb=1,lp=1,lc=3
|
||||
is good.
|
||||
When 16-bit instructions aren't present,
|
||||
.B pb=2,lp=2,lc=2
|
||||
is the best.
|
||||
.B readelf \-h
|
||||
can be used to check if "RVC"
|
||||
appears on the "Flags" line.
|
||||
.IP \(bu 3
|
||||
ARM64 is always 4-byte aligned so
|
||||
.B pb=2,lp=2,lc=2
|
||||
is the best.
|
||||
.IP \(bu 3
|
||||
The x86 filter is an exception.
|
||||
It's usually good to stick to LZMA2's defaults
|
||||
.RB ( pb=2,lp=0,lc=3 )
|
||||
when compressing x86 executables.
