Re: [PATCH v2 0/4] Add support for compiling with -ffunction-sections-fdata-sections

Is there a problem that is preventing this -ffunction-sections patch
series from being merged?

Support for building the kernel with -ffunction-sections is significant
progress for decreasing the kernel size on embedded systems using section
garbage collection. Support for -ffunction-sections is also the primary
change to the kernel needed as a prerequisite for the Ksplice rebootless
update system.

It still applies to 2.6.30-rc2 and linux-next.

Thanks,
-Tim Abbott
