[PATCH 3/4] kernel linker stripts: accomodate function and data sections
gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections places each function foo into separate section .text.foo, and every data object bar into separate section .data.bar, .rodata.bar or .bss.bar. Kernel linker scripts were not ready for this and linker heuristics for orphaned sections were not good enough to result in bootable... 28 Jul 2010 20:40

[PATCH 4/4] boot linker stripts: accomodate function and data sections
gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections places each function foo into separate section .text.foo, and every data object bar into separate section .data.bar, .rodata.bar or .bss.bar. Boot linker scripts were not ready for this. This fix adds *(.text.*), *(.data.*) etc patterns directly after corresponding *(.te... 28 Jul 2010 20:40

[PATCH 2/4] module linker script: coalesce function and data sections
gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections places each function foo into separate section .text.foo, and every data object bar into separate section .data.bar, .rodata.bar or .bss.bar. This fix prevents kernel modules from having unnecessarily many sections and thus prevents module size growth when we pass -ffuncti... 28 Jul 2010 20:40

[PATCH 0/4] function/data-sections
Hi Michal, Please take this patch series onto linux-kbuild. Most of work needed for working -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections build is already in the mainline, but a few bits are still missing. In order to have a working kernel with this make invocation: make KCFLAGS="-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections"... 28 Jul 2010 20:40
