Test the nx-gzip function:
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
Verify that following device exists:
|
||||
/dev/crypto/nx-gzip
|
||||
If you get a permission error run as sudo or set the device permissions:
|
||||
sudo chmod go+rw /dev/crypto/nx-gzip
|
||||
However, chmod may not survive across boots. You may create a udev file such
|
||||
as:
|
||||
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-nx-gzip.rules
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To manually build and run:
|
||||
$ gcc -O3 -I./include -o gzfht_test gzfht_test.c gzip_vas.c
|
||||
$ gcc -O3 -I./include -o gunz_test gunz_test.c gzip_vas.c
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Compress any file using Fixed Huffman mode. Output will have a .nx.gz suffix:
|
||||
$ ./gzfht_test gzip_vas.c
|
||||
file gzip_vas.c read, 6413 bytes
|
||||
compressed 6413 to 3124 bytes total, crc32 checksum = abd15e8a
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Uncompress the previous output. Output will have a .nx.gunzip suffix:
|
||||
./gunz_test gzip_vas.c.nx.gz
|
||||
gzHeader FLG 0
|
||||
00 00 00 00 04 03
|
||||
gzHeader MTIME, XFL, OS ignored
|
||||
computed checksum abd15e8a isize 0000190d
|
||||
stored checksum abd15e8a isize 0000190d
|
||||
decomp is complete: fclose
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Compare two files:
|
||||
$ sha1sum gzip_vas.c.nx.gz.nx.gunzip gzip_vas.c
|
||||
bf43e3c0c3651f5f22b6f9784cd9b1eeab4120b6 gzip_vas.c.nx.gz.nx.gunzip
|
||||
bf43e3c0c3651f5f22b6f9784cd9b1eeab4120b6 gzip_vas.c
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the code here are intended for testing the nx-gzip hardware function.
|
||||
They are not intended for demonstrating performance or compression ratio.
|
||||
By being simplistic these selftests expect to allocate the entire set of source
|
||||
and target pages in the memory so it needs enough memory to work.
