The purgatory is compiled into the vmlinux and keept in memory all the time during runtime. Thus any section not needed to load the purgatory unnecessarily bloats up its foot print in file- and memorysize. Reduce the purgatory size by stripping the unneeded sections from the purgatory. This reduces the purgatories size by ~33%. Signed-off-by: Philipp Rudo <prudo@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
