From 9bb482476c6c9d1ae033306440c51ceac93ea80c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 11:30:08 +0000 Subject: allow stripping of generated symbols under CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL Building upon parts of the module stripping patch, this patch introduces similar stripping for vmlinux when CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y. Using CONFIG_KALLSYMS_STRIP_GENERATED reduces the overhead of CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL from 245k/310k to 65k/80k for the (i386/x86-64) kernels I tested with. The patch also does away with the need to special case the kallsyms- internal symbols by making them available even in the first linking stage. While it is a generated file, the patch includes the changes to scripts/genksyms/keywords.c_shipped, as I'm unsure what the procedure here is.
