The branch stable/12 has been updated by emaste: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=68ff187a25306514b36e0b17314603e050ea301b commit 68ff187a25306514b36e0b17314603e050ea301b Author: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2022-06-28 13:06:12 +0000 Commit: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2022-10-07 15:24:36 +0000 Add ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD ELF compression constant ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD indicates that an ELF section is compressed with zstd. It is the second compression type, after the existing ELFCOMPRESS_ZLIB. Zstd generally provides a compelling tradeoff of speed and compression (other algorithms may compress slightly better but take a lot longer, or run faster but do not compress nearly as well). See https://groups.google.com/g/generic-abi/c/satyPkuMisk for details. ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD will be supported in a future Clang/LLVM update. ELF Tool Chain tools also need updating.
