Subject: [PATCH 3/3] efi/libstub: factor shared static GUID variables
Date: Thu, 03 Sep 2026 23:25:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903-libstub_guid_cleanup-v1-3-06fcb6216975@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903-libstub_guid_cleanup-v1-0-06fcb6216975@kernel.org>

Some GUIDs are used several times in the same translation unit.

Factor the duplicated EFI_FILE_SYSTEM_GUID, EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL_GUID and
EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL_GUID objects at file scope within their
translation units. Leave the single-use GUID objects at function scope.

For an x86_64 build with gcc 15.3.0, bloat-o-meter reports:

  add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-48 (-48)
  Function                                     old     new   delta
  rng_proto                                     32      16     -16
  graphics_output_guid                          32      16     -16
  fs_proto                                      32      16     -16
  Total: Before=28471, After=28423, chg -0.17%
