Subject: [PATCH v2 6/8] objtool: optimize layout of struct symbol
Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2022 16:01:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221216-objtool-memory-v2-6-17968f85a464@weissschuh.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221216-objtool-memory-v2-0-17968f85a464@weissschuh.net>

Reduce the size of struct symbol on x86_64 from 208 to 200 bytes.
This structure is allocated a lot and never freed.

This reduces maximum memory usage while processing vmlinux.o from
2919716 KB to 2917988 KB (-0.5%) on my notebooks "localmodconfig".
