Assuming you meant "[PATCH -tip] compiler_types.h: Optimize __unqual_scalar_typeof compilation time" https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200527103236.148700-1-elver@google.com/ I did some x86_64 allmodconfig builds (as I do all day): Linus' tree: 36884.15user 1439.31system 9:05.46elapsed 7025%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 500416maxresident)k 0inputs+128outputs (0major+64821256minor)pagefaults 0swaps 36878.19user 1436.60system 9:05.37elapsed 7025%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 494656maxresident)k 0inputs+128outputs (0major+64771097minor)pagefaults 0swaps linux-next: 42378.58user 1513.34system 9:59.33elapsed 7323%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 537920maxresident)k 0inputs+384outputs (0major+65102976minor)pagefaults 0swaps 42378.38user 1509.52system 9:59.12elapsed 7325%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 535360maxresident)k 0inputs+384outputs (0major+65102513minor)pagefaults 0swaps linux-next+patch: 39090.54user 1464.71system 9:17.36elapsed 7276%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 520576maxresident)k 0inputs+384outputs (0major+62226026minor)pagefaults 0swaps 39101.66user 1471.55system 9:18.13elapsed 7269%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 513856maxresident)k 0inputs+384outputs (0major+62243972minor)pagefaults 0swaps So, it is a bit better than current linux-next, but not quita back to Linus' tree (but that is not unexpected as there are over 12000 new commits in -next). $ x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc --version x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc (Debian 9.3.0-8) 9.3.0 80 thread Power8 using -j100 -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
