Add MicroLZMA support in order to maximize compression ratios for specific scenarios. For example, it's useful for low-end embedded boards and as a secondary algorithm in a file for specific access patterns. MicroLZMA is a new container format for raw LZMA1, which was created by Lasse Collin aiming to minimize old LZMA headers and get rid of unnecessary EOPM (end of payload marker) as well as to enable fixed-sized output compression, especially for 4KiB pclusters. Similar to LZ4, inplace I/O approach is used to minimize runtime memory footprint when dealing with I/O. Overlapped decompression is handled with 1) bounced buffer for data under processing or 2) extra short-lived pages from the on-stack pagepool which will be shared in the same read request (128KiB for example).

EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) is a lightweight read-only
|
|
file system with modern designs (e.g. no buffer heads, inline
|
|
xattrs/data, chunk-based deduplication, multiple devices, etc.) for
|
|
scenarios which need high-performance read-only solutions, e.g.
|
|
smartphones with Android OS, LiveCDs and high-density hosts with
|
|
numerous containers;
|
|
|
|
It also provides fixed-sized output compression support in order to
|
|
improve storage density as well as keep relatively higher compression
|
|
ratios and implements in-place decompression to reuse the file page
|
|
for compressed data temporarily with proper strategies, which is
|
|
quite useful to ensure guaranteed end-to-end runtime decompression
|
|
performance under extremely memory pressure without extra cost.

Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux

Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems
|
|
containing LZMA compressed data, specifically called microLZMA. it
|
|
gives better compression ratios than the LZ4 algorithm, at the
|
|
expense of more CPU overhead.
|
|
|
|
LZMA support is an experimental feature for now and so most file
|
|
systems will be readable without selecting this option.

If unsure, say N.
