[1] Maybe -- but still, that's quite a steep requirement, and would also require a fairly major redesign of the current kbuild architecture. I'm inclined to stick with per-directory builds for now, which is both relatively simple to implement and where the _majority_ of the benefit it likely to be seen. Whole-kernel optimisation is something I'm inclined to leave until LTO happens -- but don't let me stop you from investigating it. > > I suspected that most of the 'further savings' to which you refer above > > could be achieved more easily with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections > > --gc-sections > > AFAIR -ffunction-sections/-fdata-sections cause some overhead in the > resulting binary? Not that I'm aware of. There's overhead in the resulting ELF files, but we combine sections in the vmlinux.lds so there isn't even that overhead in the vmlinux. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
