Hello, this is version 3 of patches adding support for LTO to U-Boot.
This series was tested by Github/Azure CI at https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/pull/57 Code reduction is on average 4.23% for u-boot.bin and 13.58% for u-boot-spl.bin. Changes sinve v2: - now linking with --build-id=none in order to avoid link failures with some toolchains (thanks Herald Seiler) - we don't use -flto=jobserver anymore, since it causes build errors for some people. Instead we link with -flto=NPROC - removed LTO exception for arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap3/clock.o, Adam Ford says it is not needed - added some Reviewed-by tags Changes since v1: - remove patches applied into u-boot-marvell - added Reviewed-by tags - addressed some issues discovered by Bin Meng, Marek Vasut, Heinrich Schuchardt - added more ARM boards (thanks to Adam Ford, Tim Harvey and Bin Meng) - removed --gc-sections for ARM if internal libgcc is used - remove -fwhole-program in final LTO LDFLAGS - declared all 4 functions (memcpy, memset, memcmp, memmove) __used, (these are mentioned in GCC man page for option -nodefaultlibs that the compiler may generate; this seems to be a bug in GCC that linking fails with LTO even if these functions are present, because the symbols can be renamed on some targets by optimization) Marek Marek Behún (39): regmap: fix a serious pointer casting bug api: fix a potential serious bug caused by undef CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA checkpatch: require quotes around section name in the __section() macro treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo") compiler.h: align the __ADDRESSABLE macro with Linux' version linker_lists: prepare macros to avoid code repetition test/py: improve regular expression for ut subtest symbol matcher linker_lists: declare lists and entries as __ADDRESSABLE for LTO string: make memcpy(), memset(), memcmp() and memmove() visible for LTO efi_loader: fix warning when linking with LTO efi_loader: add Sphinx doc for __efi_runtime and __efi_runtime_data efi_loader: add macro for const EFI runtime data efi_selftest: compiler flags for efi_selftest_miniapp_exception.o lib: crc32: put the crc_table variable into efi_runtime_rodata section Makefile, Makefile.spl: cosmetic change build: use thin archives instead of incremental linking build: support building with Link Time Optimizations build: link with --build-id=none sandbox: errno: avoid conflict with libc's errno sandbox: use sections instead of symbols for getopt array boundaries sandbox: make LTO available sandbox: enable LTO by default ARM: global_data: make set_gd() work for armv5 and armv6 ARM: make gd a function call for LTO and set via set_gd() ARM: fix LTO build for some thumb-interwork cases ARM: fix LTO for imx28_xea ARM: fix LTO for apf27 ARM: fix LTO for keystone ARM: kona: fix clk_bsc_enable() type mismatch for LTO ARM: imx8m: fix imx_eqos_txclk_set_rate() type mismatch for LTO ARM: fix LTO for seaboard ARM: fix LTO for rockchip and samsung ARM: omap3: fix LTO for DM3730 (and possibly other omap3 boards) armv8: SPL: discard relocation information ata: ahci: fix ahci_link_up() type mismatch for LTO ARM: make LTO available ARM: don't use -ffunction-sections/-fdata-sections with LTO build ARM: don't use --gc-sections with LTO when using private libgcc ARM: enable LTO for some boards Kbuild | 2 + Kconfig | 24 ++++++++ Makefile | 51 +++++++++++++++-- arch/Kconfig | 3 + arch/arm/config.mk | 10 +++-
