linux-toradex.git/scripts/stackdelta, branch v4.11-rc3 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules scripts: add stackdelta script 2015-08-28T15:04:40+00:00 Rasmus Villemoes linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk 2015-08-20T09:53:30+00:00 5bbb9f753afe213aebc8dba30c7e2dbb73616b79 This adds a simple perl script for reading two files as produced by the stackusage script and computing the changes in stack usage. For example: $ scripts/stackusage -o /tmp/old.su CC=gcc-4.7 -j8 fs/ext4/ $ scripts/stackusage -o /tmp/new.su CC=gcc-5.0 -j8 fs/ext4/ $ scripts/stackdelta /tmp/{old,new}.su | sort -k5,5g shows that gcc 5.0 generally produces less stack-hungry code than gcc 4.7. Obviously, the script can also be used for measuring the effect of commits, .config tweaks or whatnot.

This adds a simple perl script for reading two files as produced by
the stackusage script and computing the changes in stack usage. For
example:

$ scripts/stackusage -o /tmp/old.su CC=gcc-4.7 -j8 fs/ext4/
$ scripts/stackusage -o /tmp/new.su CC=gcc-5.0 -j8 fs/ext4/
$ scripts/stackdelta /tmp/{old,new}.su | sort -k5,5g

shows that gcc 5.0 generally produces less stack-hungry code than gcc
4.7. Obviously, the script can also be used for measuring the effect
