Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/4] Add support for compiling with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections
Is there a problem that is preventing this -ffunction-sections patch
series from being merged?
Support for building the kernel with -ffunction-sections is significant
progress for decreasing the kernel size on embedded systems using section
garbage collection. Support for -ffunction-sections is also the primary
change to the kernel needed as a prerequisite for the Ksplice rebootless
update system.
It still applies to 2.6.30-rc2 and linux-next.
Thanks,
-Tim Abbott
