x86: make arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S use a separate
While examining vmlinux namelist on i386 (nm -v vmlinux) I noticed : c01021d0 t es7000_rename_gsi c010221a T es7000_start_cpu <Big Hole> c0103000 T thread_saved_pc and c0113218 T acpi_restore_state_mem c0113219 T acpi_save_state_mem <Big Hole> c0114000 t wakeup_code This is because arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S forces a .text alignment of 4096 bytes. (I have no idea if it is really needed, since arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_64.S uses a 16 bytes alignment *only*) So arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o also has this alignment arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o: file format elf32-i386 Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .text 00018c94 00000000 00000000 00001000 2**12 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, CODE But as arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.o is not the first object linked into arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o, linker had to build several holes to meet alignement requirements, because of .o nestings in the kbuild process. This can be solved by using a special section, .text.page_aligned, so that no holes are needed. # size vmlinux.before vmlinux.after text data bss dec hex filename 4619942 422838 458752 5501532 53f25c vmlinux.before 4610534 422838 458752 5492124 53cd9c vmlinux.after This saves 9408 bytes Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
