Hi Daniel, I will certainly continue to enhance the patch. Although I'm pretty busy this week (help on the TODO items is welcome!) What been done since the last submission to lkml: * The --print-gc-sections patch has been merged to binutils CVS. * end_rodata issue has been fixed and merged to mainline. However, latest patch is still http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/4/169 Current TODO: * Condition CONFIG_GC_SECTIONS on presence of a recent binutils * Extra config option to allow for non used exported symbols to be swept (must be non default behaviour) * Recursive make invocation from Makefile is sort of ugly, Makefile changes can beautified. * Do the same as done for ksymtab* to kcrctab* (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) * Cover other architectures with KEEP() directives After fixing those trivial items garbage collection should be ready for mainline merge. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
