Subject: [PATCH v4 0/7] kernel tinification: optionally compile out splice family of syscalls (splice, vmsplice, tee and sendfile)
REPO: https://github.com/smipi1/linux-tinification.git
BRANCH: tiny/config-syscall-splice
BACKGROUND: This patch-set forms part of the Linux Kernel Tinification effort (
https://tiny.wiki.kernel.org/).
GOAL: Support compiling out the splice family of syscalls (splice, vmsplice,
tee and sendfile) along with all supporting infrastructure if not needed.
Many embedded systems will not need the splice-family syscalls. Omitting them
saves space.
HISTORY:
PATCH v4:
- Drops __splice_p()
- Let nfsd fall back to non-splice support when splice is compiled out
- Style fixes
PATCH v3:
- Fixup commit logs so that they are consistent with patch strategy
- Style fixes
PATCH v2:
- Avoid the ifdef mess introduced in PATCH v1 by mocking out exported splice
functions.
STRATEGY:
a. With the goal of eventually compiling out fs/splice.c, several functions
that are only used in support of the the splice family of syscalls are moved
into fs/splice.c from fs/read_write.c. The kernel_write function that is not
used to support the splice syscalls is moved to fs/read_write.c.
b. Introduce an EXPERT kernel configuration option; CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE; to
compile out the splice family of syscalls. This removes all userspace uses
of the splice infrastructure.
c. Splice exports an operations struct, nosteal_pipe_buf_ops. Eliminate the
use of this struct when CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE is undefined, so that splice
can later be compiled out.
d. Let nfsd fall back to non-splice support when splice is compiled out.
e. Compile out fs/splice.c. Functions exported by fs/splice are mocked out with
failing static inlines. This is done so as to all but eliminate the
maintenance burden on file-system drivers.
RESULTS: A tinyconfig bloat-o-meter score for the entire patch-set:
