With a distro-style config (copied Ubuntu then held down Enter on oldconfig)
it's:
Vmlinux module.o (text/data) Total module size (text/data)
With unload 8976331 24144/1036 47255565/3298004
Without unload 8962022 20551/732 47176064/3222068
Without modules 8723931
So, we pay 14k for module unload support, or 0.2%, and 0.3% across the
modules themselves. There's real runtime costs, too, but someone would need
to annotate and see how often we do inc/dec in a real system.
Not sure that last one is exactly comparable, but it looks like module
support is a significant cost...
Cheers,
Rusty.
