+Note [Compression and Decompression of IPE data]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Compiling with `-finfo-table-map` causes build results to include a map from
+info tables to source positions called the info table provenance entry (IPE)
+map. See Note [Mapping Info Tables to Source Positions]. The IPE information
+can grow the size of build results significantly. At the time of writing, a
+default build of GHC results in a total of 109M of libHSghc-*.so build results.
+A default+ipe build of GHC (see ./hadrian/doc/flavours.md) results in 262M of
+libHSghc-*.so build results without compression.
+
+We reduce the impact of IPE data on the size of build results by compressing
+the data before it is emitted using the zstd compression library. See
+Note [The Info Table Provenance Entry (IPE) Map] for information on the layout
+of IPE data on disk and in the RTS. We cannot simply compress all data held in
+the IPE entry buffer, as the pointers to info tables must be converted to
+memory addresses during linking. Therefore, we can only compress the strings
+table and the IPE entries themselves (which essentially only consist of indices
+into the strings table).

-                      -> [InfoProvEnt]
-                      -> FCode ()
+With compression, a default+ipe build of GHC results in a total of 205M of
+libHSghc-*.so build results. This is over a 20% reduction from the uncompressed
+case.
+
+Decompression happens lazily, as it only occurs when the IPE map is
+constructed (which is also done lazily on first lookup or traversal). During
+construction, the 'compressed' field of each IPE buffer list node is examined.
+If the field indicates that the data has been compressed, the entry data and
+strings table are decompressed before continuing with the normal IPE map
+construction.
