ld -r is an incremental link used to create built-in.o files in build subdirectories. It produces relocatable object files containing all its input files, and these are are then pulled together and relocated in the final link. Aside from the bloat, this constrains the final link relocations, which has bitten large powerpc builds with unresolvable relocations in the final link. Alan Modra has recommended the kernel use thin archives for linking. This is an alternative and means that the linker has more information available to it when it links the kernel. This patch enables a config option architectures can select, which causes all built-in.o files to be built as thin archives. built-in.o files in subdirectories do not get symbol table or index attached, which improves speed and size. The final link pass creates a built-in.o archive in the root output directory which includes the symbol table and index. The linker then uses takes this file to link. The --whole-archive linker option is required, because the linker now has visibility to every individual object file, and it will otherwise just completely avoid including those without external references (consider a file with EXPORT_SYMBOL or initcall or hardware exceptions as its only entry points). The traditional built works "by luck" as built-in.o files are large enough that they're going to get external references. However this optimisation is unpredictable for the kernel (due to above external references), ineffective at culling unused, and costly because the .o files have to be searched for references. Superior alternatives for link-time culling should be used instead. Build characteristics for inclink vs thinarc, on a small powerpc64le pseries VM with a modest .config: inclink thinarc sizes vmlinux 15 618 680 15 625 028 sum of all built-in.o 56 091 808 1 054 334 sum excluding root built-in.o 151 430 find -name built-in.o | xargs rm ; time make vmlinux real 22.772s 21.143s user 13.280s 13.430s sys 4.310s 2.750s - Final kernel pulled in only about 6K more, which shows how ineffective the object file culling is. - Build performance looks improved due to less pagecache activity. On IO constrained systems it could be a bigger win. - Build size saving is significant. Side note, the toochain understands archives, so there's some tricks, $ ar t built-in.o # list all files you linked with $ size built-in.o # and their sizes $ objdump -d built-in.o # disassembly (unrelocated) with filenames Implementation by sfr, minor tweaks by npiggin.
