... like the time it takes to actually load modules and do the relocations, perhaps? You did say you were doing it to improve boot time. But this is the stuff you were happy to _defer_, so presumably not in your fast path? If that _is_ a real concern, then given the observation¹ that most systems load exactly the same modules in exactly the same order every time they boot... has anyone looked at doing 'prelink' for modules? -- dwmw2 ¹ which I just pulled out of my arse, admittedly. But I think it's true :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
