From: Vineet Gupta Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2012 06:55:44 +0000 (+0530) Subject: Ensure that kernel_init_freeable() is not inlined into non __init code X-Git-Tag: v3.8-rc5~35^2~7 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f80b0c904da93b9ad7db2fd9823dd701932df779;p=pandora-kernel.git Ensure that kernel_init_freeable() is not inlined into non __init code Commit d6b2123802d "make sure that we always have a return path from kernel_execve()" reshuffled kernel_init()/init_post() to ensure that kernel_execve() has a caller to return to. It removed __init annotation for kernel_init() and introduced/calls a new routine kernel_init_freeable(). Latter however is inlined by any reasonable compiler (ARC gcc 4.4 in this case), causing slight code bloat. This patch forces kernel_init_freeable() as noinline reducing the .text bloat-o-meter vmlinux vmlinux_new add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 374/-334 (40) function old new delta kernel_init_freeable - 374 +374 (.init.text) kernel_init 628 294 -334 (.text) Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
