From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Kele Zhang Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2024 23:05:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH v4 0/1] Enable Dead Code Elimination Message-ID: List-Id: To: opensbi@lists.infradead.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This patch enables `--gc-sections`. Dead Code Elimination (DCE) can reduce binary size and the attack surface without introducing side effects, and it has been used in the Linux kernel for many years. After testing, enabling DCE does not affect the normal functionality of OpenSBI. --- v1: https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/opensbi/2024-August/007286.html v2: https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/opensbi/2024-August/007301.html v3: https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/opensbi/2024-September/007344.html --- Changes in v2: - Move --gc-sections to ELFFLAGS - Remove redundant KEEP() Changes in v3: - Move --print-gc-sections to ifneq ($(DEBUG),) - Move "ifneq ($(DEBUG),)" to the latter part of the Makefile, ensuring that "ELFFLAGS += $(USE_LD_FLAG)" remains at the beginning. Changes in v4: - fix: replace spaces with tabs for consistent indentation --- Kele Zhang (1): Makefile: enable --gc-sections Makefile | 15 +++++++++------ firmware/fw_base.ldS | 1 + 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0
