This did the trick: diff --git a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h index 0ec807d69f18..7a3ad269fa23 100644 --- a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h +++ b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h @@ -433,7 +433,7 @@ * during second ld run in second ld pass when generating System.map */ #define TEXT_TEXT \ ALIGN_FUNCTION(); \ - *(.text.hot .text .text.fixup .text.unlikely) \ + *(.text.hot .text .text.* .text.fixup .text.unlikely) \ *(.ref.text) \ MEM_KEEP(init.text) \ MEM_KEEP(exit.text) \ It also got much faster again, the link time for an allyesconfig kernel is now 18 minutes instead of 10 hours, but it's still much worse than the 2 minutes I had earlier or the four minutes with the previous patch.
