From df2ae8826ced4f374bcb693b44d8a113ad150d70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stijn Tintel Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2022 17:54:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] image: let mksquashfs4 use all processors Drop the -processors argument from the mksquashfs4 call, so it will use all available processors. This dramatically reduces the time to create squashfs filesystems. The times below are observed when building an image for my main router, the WatchGuard Firebox M300 (qoriq target): Before: real 4m45,973s After: real 0m23,497s With this commit `mksquashfs` may use more cores than defined via `-j`. This is the same behaviour as for archive creation of ImageBuilder, SDK or toolchain. There is no trivial way to limit `mksquashfs` CPU core usage to the amount of "free" make jobs since two running `mksquashfs` instances would each run with the total allowed number (-j) of threads.
