From d4a3239fa159342be1b8a6b1e2346fa40314e4e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 20:28:53 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] modpost: reduce visibility of symbols and constify r/o arrays commit 7a3ee7538598e0d60e6aa87dcf34a4e8a0adebc2 upstream. Internally used symbols of modpost don't need to be externally visible; make them static. Also constify the string arrays so they resist in the r/o section instead of being runtime writable. Those changes lead to a small size reduction as can be seen below: text data bss dec hex filename 51381 2640 12416 66437 10385 scripts/mod/modpost.old 51765 2224 12416 66405 10365 scripts/mod/modpost.new Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings --- Reading git-format-patch failed
