There's a few _big_ things that aren't addressed in my makefile hack either. It's very much a proof of concept. However, if we limit the use of --combine to files within the same directory, the modifications to the kbuild infrastructure shouldn't be too intrusive. I strongly suspect that files within the same directory are where the majority of the benefit is anyway. Whole-kernel optimisation is likely to be prohibitively expensive, and can wait for LTO¹. -- dwmw2 ¹ http://www.gelato.org/pdf/apr2006/gelato_ICE06apr_lto_mitchell_codesourcery.pdf - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
