Subject: [PATCH] scripts/bloat-o-meter: ignore _sdata
Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 16:36:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504203606.427972-1-ynorov@nvidia.com> (raw)
_sdata is a linker symbol, but bloat-o-meter may consider it
as a real variable:
$ scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.orig vmlinux
add/remove: 7/1 grow/shrink: 0/0 up/down: 3437/-4096 (-659)
Function old new delta
crc32table_le - 1024 +1024
crc32table_be - 1024 +1024
crc32ctable_le - 1024 +1024
byte_rev_table - 256 +256
crc32_be - 39 +39
crc32c - 35 +35
crc32_le - 35 +35
_sdata 4096 - -4096
Total: Before=8592564398, After=8592563739, chg -0.00%
