Please add this info to one of the changelogs. BTW., some of that might be won back via the later optimizations, right? BTW, I think what matters most is the .text section size, while 'size' would also add exceptions/out-of-line sections too. Here's a way to display the .text section only: triton:~/tip> printf "# vmlinux .text size: %d\n" 0x$(echo $(readelf -W -e vmlinux | grep ' \[ 1\] .text ') | cut -d' ' -f7) # vmlinux .text size: 9797610 triton:~/tip> size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 10748306 4875500 876544 16500350 fbc67e vmlinux Thanks, Ingo -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
