Hello,
with the same toolchain, only changing from gcc6.3.0 to gcc7.1.0, the
kernel does not boot: using xz the decompression fails with
"XZ-compressed data is corrupt" / XZ_DATA_ERROR.
I think it might be this line in lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.c
s->vli |= (vli_type)(byte & 0x7F) << s->pos;
Here gcc6 is using __aeabi_llsl
Looking at the disassembled sources, do you see evident issues in dec_vli()?
Kernel is built optimized for size. I am uploading the logs and huge
build dirs [1]
Pls look under /disassembled. Suffix is the gcc version.
decompress6.S -> built with gcc6
decompress7.S -> built with gcc7
I am puzzled because the same toolchain produces valid kernel for
qemuarm versatile-926ejs.
Finally, a short test with gzip compressed kernel shows it does not
boot as well so maybe the issue is another. I don't have serial here
now but I'll take more logs if necessary.
Thanks
Andrea
