linux-toradex.git/arch/sparc/lib/NGbzero.S, branch v3.4.76 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules sparc64: Kill .fixup section bloat. 2009-02-09T06:00:55+00:00 David S. Miller davem@davemloft.net 2009-02-09T06:00:55+00:00 40bdac7dbc161639a498697f34fbd1ee800e51f4 This is an implementation of a suggestion made by Chris Torek: -------------------- Something else I noticed in passing: the EX and EX_LD/EX_ST macros scattered throughout the various .S files make a fair bit of .fixup code, all of which does the same thing. At the cost of one symbol in copy_in_user.S, you could just have one common two-instruction retl-and-mov-1 fixup that they all share. -------------------- The following is with a defconfig build: text data bss dec hex filename 3972767 344024 584449 4901240 4ac978 vmlinux.orig 3968887 344024 584449 4897360 4aba50 vmlinux Signed-off-by: David S.
