            Bug ID: 215334
           Summary: Loading compressed kernel modules
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: kpect@protonmail.com

Hello.

While it is possible to load compressed (gzipped) kernel modules using a
bootloader (using /boot/loader.conf file), it's not possible to load those
while the system is running. You have to uncompress them somewhere before
loading, which is very inconvenient and not unproductive.
Is it possible to implement loading of compressed kernel modules using kldl=
oad
or through rc.conf file?
Is it possible to implement additional compressing algorithms like xz?

Best regards,
Sergey.
