Since Linux 5.4 a new read-only filesystem is available, erofs. Compared to squashfs it offers much better read performance with and without compression enabled. It suppports two optional compressors, lz4 and lz4hc. >From the mkfs.erofs man page: EROFS is a new enhanced lightweight linux read-only filesystem with modern designs (eg. no buffer head, reduced metadata, inline xattrs/data, etc.) for scenarios which need high-performance read-only requirements, e.g. Android OS for smartphones and LIVECDs. It also provides fixed-sized output compression support, which improves storage density, keeps relatively higher compression ratios, which is more useful to achieve high performance for embedded devices with limited memory since it has unnoticable memory overhead and page cache thrashing. This commit adds support for three new filesystem targets: erofs: erofs without compression erofs-lz4: erofs with lz4 compresssion enabled erofs-lz4hc: erofs with lz4hc compression enabled (From OE-Core rev: 41dead1ff8ccc49e6cd6e6f5d41a59d164693e0d) Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
QEMU Emulation Targets ====================== To simplify development, the build system supports building images to work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants: * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64) * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64) * PowerPC (qemuppc only) * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64) Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual. The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given in brackets.
