Subject: [PATCH v6 1/8] scripts/make_fit: Speed up operation
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 11:13:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119181333.991099-2-sjg@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119181333.991099-1-sjg@chromium.org>
The kernel is likely at least 16MB so we may as well use that as a step
size when reallocating space for the FIT in memory. Pack the FIT at the
end, so there is no wasted space.
This reduces the time to pack by an order of magnitude, or so.
