Merge patch series "riscv: enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION"
Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@kernel.org> says: When trying to run linux with various opensource riscv core on resource limited FPGA platforms, for example, those FPGAs with less than 16MB SDRAM, I want to save mem as much as possible. One of the major technologies is kernel size optimizations, I found that riscv does not currently support HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, which passes -fdata-sections, -ffunction-sections to CFLAGS and passes the --gc-sections flag to the linker. This not only benefits my case on FPGA but also benefits defconfigs. Here are some notable improvements from enabling this with defconfigs: nommu_k210_defconfig: text data bss dec hex 1112009 410288 59837 1582134 182436 before 962838 376656 51285 1390779 1538bb after rv32_defconfig: text data bss dec hex 8804455 2816544 290577 11911576 b5c198 before 8692295 2779872 288977 11761144 b375f8 after defconfig: text data bss dec hex 9438267 3391332 485333 13314932 cb2b74 before 9285914 3350052 483349 13119315 c82f53 after patch1 and patch2 are clean ups. patch3 fixes a typo. patch4 finally enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for riscv. * b4-shazam-merge: riscv: disable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for LLD riscv: enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION vmlinux.lds.h: use correct .init.data.* section name riscv: vmlinux-xip.lds.S: remove .alternative section riscv: move options to keep entries sorted riscv: Fix orphan section warnings caused by kernel/pi Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230523165502.2592-1-jszhang@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>
