add CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.
allow gcc to optimize the kernel image's size by uninlining
functions that have been marked 'inline'. Previously gcc was
forced by Linux to always-inline these functions via a gcc
attribute:#define inline inline __attribute__((always_inline))
Especially when the user has already selected
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y this can make a huge difference in
kernel image size (using a standard Fedora .config):text data bss dec hex filename

5486689 562708 3854336 9903733 971e75 vmlinux.afterthat's a 2.3% text size reduction (!).

Commit 1a747ee0 ("locks: don't call ->copy_lock methods on return of
conflicting locks") changed fs/lockd/svclock.c to call
__locks_copy_lock() instead of locks_copy_lock(), but lockd can be built
as a module and __locks_copy_lock() is not exported, which causes a
build errorERROR: "__locks_copy_lock" [fs/lockd/lockd.ko] undefined!

Fix this by exporting __locks_copy_lock().

This patch adds a new (Kbuild) Makefile variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS.

This patch adds a new command line option -E to modpost, expecting a symbol
file as an argument which is read prior to symbol processing. -E can be
supplied multiple times for as many files as is needed.When building kernel modules that depend on other modules not in the main
kernel tree, modpost complains about undefined symbols:
# make -C /path/to/linux/kernel M=/path/to/my/module
...
Building modules, stage 2.
....
WARNING: "rt_copy_buf" [/home/rich/osc_etl_rtw/osc_kmod.ko] undefined!
...etcThis situation occurs when modpost processes the new module's symbols. When
it finds symbols not exported by the mainline kernel, it issues this warning.The patch adds a new command line option -e to modpost which expects a symbol
file as an argument. The symbols listed in this file are added to modpost's
symbol tables during startup. -e can be supplied as often as required.This patch works together with the second patch. It introduces a new make
variable, KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, which is used when calling modpost.Signed-off-by: Richard Hacker

Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4
gcc mainline (upcoming 4.4) added a new -Wframe-larger-than=...
option to warn at build time about too large stack frames. Add a config
option to enable this warning, since this very useful for the kernel.I choose (somewhat arbitarily) 2048 as default warning threshold for 64bit
and 1024 as default for 32bit architectures. With some research and
fixing all the code for smaller values these defaults should be probably
lowered.With the default allyesconfigs have some new warnings, but I think
that is all code that should be just fixed.At some point (when gcc 4.4 is released and widely used) this should
obsolete make checkstackSigned-off-by: Andi Kleen
