The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS
:
(none)
Compresses kernel modules when 'make modules_install' is run; gzip or xz depending on "Compression algorithm" below.
module-init-tools MAY support gzip, and kmod MAY support gzip and xz.
Out-of-tree kernel modules installed using Kbuild will also be compressed upon installation.
Note: for modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.
Note: This is fully compatible with signed modules.
If in doubt, say N.
