Hi Michal,
Please take this patch series onto linux-kbuild.
Most of work needed for working -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections build
is already in the mainline, but a few bits are still missing.
In order to have a working kernel with this make invocation:
make KCFLAGS="-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections"
we need these patches:
modpost: support objects with more than 64k sections
This patch is in -mm, it still did not reach mainline,
thus resending. Sam suggested some readability improvements.
module linker script: coalesce function and data sections
kernel linker stripts: accomodate function and data sections
boot linker stripts: accomodate function and data sections
Please see individual patches for more detailed changelogs.
A rough idea what sort of size savings are achievable
with section garbage collection:
Kernel:
text data bss dec hex filename
8299299 857324 785348 9941971 97b3d3 2.6.35-rc4/vmlinux
7566908 832388 717844 9117140 8b1dd4 2.6.35-rc4-fsgs/vmlinux
-9.2% -2.9% -9.0% -8.6%
The largest module in the build:
451009 54640 2224 507873 7bfe1 2.6.35-rc4/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
450521 54292 2202 507015 7bc87 2.6.35-rc4-fsgs/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
(negligible size change since section garbage collection
for modules is not done. TODO: figure out how to do it)

This patch makes modpost able to process object files with more than
64k sections. Needed for huge kernel builds (allyesconfig, for example)
with -ffunction-sections.

gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections places each function foo
into separate section .text.foo, and every data object bar into
separate section .data.bar, .rodata.bar or .bss.bar.
This fix prevents kernel modules from having unnecessarily many
sections and thus prevents module size growth when we pass
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections to gcc.
Module linker script needs to avoid collecting special kernel sections,
therefore it uses more restrictive patterns like *(.text.[A-Za-z0-9_$^]*)
instead of simplistic *(.text.*): special kernel sections like
.text..page_aligned contain double dots and won't be accidentally
matched by them.

gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections places each function foo
into separate section .text.foo, and every data object bar into
separate section .data.bar, .rodata.bar or .bss.bar.
This fix prevents kernel modules from having unnecessarily many
sections and thus prevents module size growth when we pass
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections to gcc.
Module linker script needs to avoid collecting special kernel sections,
therefore it uses more restrictive patterns like *(.text.[A-Za-z0-9_$^]*)
instead of simplistic *(.text.*): special kernel sections like
.text..page_aligned contain double dots and won't be accidentally
matched by them.

Yep, I can confirm it. The binutils fix to allow caret might be trivial,
and will allow us to use much better pattern: [^.]*
I created a Fedora bug for it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=621742
So far, please remove these three patches from kbuild tree.
(I see that modpost patch is in Linus tree. Thanks!)

gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections places each function foo
into separate section .text.foo, and every data object bar into
separate section .data.bar, .rodata.bar or .bss.bar.
Boot linker scripts were not ready for this.
This fix adds *(.text.*), *(.data.*) etc patterns
directly after corresponding *(.text), *(.data) etc patterns
in all boot linker scripts.
This may be unnecessary, but I want to be
function and data section-clean in all linker scripts,
including boot ones.

gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections places each function foo
into separate section .text.foo, and every data object bar into
separate section .data.bar, .rodata.bar or .bss.bar.
Boot linker scripts were not ready for this.
This fix adds *(.text.*), *(.data.*) etc patterns
directly after corresponding *(.text), *(.data) etc patterns
in all boot linker scripts.
This may be unnecessary, but I want to be
function and data section-clean in all linker scripts,
including boot ones.

What about .sdata and .sbss sections produced by arches that support small
data sections?

linker groups all similarly-named input sections into one output section
with the same name, if the name does not match any rule in the linker
script.
Basically, it should work as if there is a rule:
.sbss 0 : AT(0) { *(.sbss) }
