Message-ID: <20140922161109.GA25027@thin> Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:11:16 -0700 From: Josh Triplett <josh@...htriplett.org> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...or.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-api@...r.kernel.org, linux-mm@...ck.org Subject: [PATCH] mm: Support compiling out madvise and fadvise Many embedded systems will not need these syscalls, and omitting them saves space. Add a new EXPERT config option CONFIG_ADVISE_SYSCALLS (default y) to support compiling them out. bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 0/3 grow/shrink: 0/0 up/down: 0/-2250 (-2250) function old new delta sys_fadvise64 57 - -57 sys_fadvise64_64 691 - -691 sys_madvise 1502 - -1502 Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@...htriplett.org> --- Posting this for review.
