 # Linux Kernel Patch
 
-There are two pieces, the `zstd_compress` and `zstd_decompress` kernel modules, and the BtrFS patch.
+There are three pieces, the `zstd_compress` and `zstd_decompress` kernel modules, the BtrFS patch, and the SquashFS patch.

 ### Benchmarks
 
 Benchmarks run on a Ubuntu 14.04 with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
 The VM is running on a Macbook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
 16 GB of ram, and a SSD.
+The kernel running was built from the master branch with the patch (version 4.10).

+The kernel running was built from the master branch with the patch (version 4.10).
+
+The compression benchmark is the file tree from the SquashFS archive found in the
+Ubuntu 16.10 desktop image (ubuntu-16.10-desktop-amd64.iso).
+The compression benchmark uses mksquashfs with the default block size (128 KB)
+and various compression algorithms/compression levels.
+`xz` and `zstd` are also benchmarked with 256 KB blocks.
+The decompression benchmark is timing how long it takes to `tar` the file tree
+into `/dev/null`.
+See `squashfs-benchmark.sh` for details.
