Merge patch series "riscv: enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION"
Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@kernel.org> says:
When trying to run linux with various opensource riscv core on
resource limited FPGA platforms, for example, those FPGAs with less
than 16MB SDRAM, I want to save mem as much as possible. One of the
major technologies is kernel size optimizations, I found that riscv
does not currently support HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, which
passes -fdata-sections, -ffunction-sections to CFLAGS and passes the
--gc-sections flag to the linker.
This not only benefits my case on FPGA but also benefits defconfigs.
Here are some notable improvements from enabling this with defconfigs:
nommu_k210_defconfig:
text data bss dec hex
1112009 410288 59837 1582134 182436 before
962838 376656 51285 1390779 1538bb after
rv32_defconfig:
text data bss dec hex
8804455 2816544 290577 11911576 b5c198 before
8692295 2779872 288977 11761144 b375f8 after
defconfig:
text data bss dec hex
9438267 3391332 485333 13314932 cb2b74 before
9285914 3350052 483349 13119315 c82f53 after
patch1 and patch2 are clean ups.
patch3 fixes a typo.
patch4 finally enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for riscv.
