Is there a problem that is preventing this -ffunction-sections patch series from being merged?
Support for building the kernel with -ffunction-sections is significant progress for decreasing the kernel size on embedded systems using section garbage collection. Support for -ffunction-sections is also the primary change to the kernel needed as a prerequisite for the Ksplice rebootless update system.
It still applies to 2.6.30-rc2 and linux-next.
Thanks, -Tim Abbott
