Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@kernel.org> says:
When trying to run linux with various opensource riscv core on
resource limited FPGA platforms, for example, those FPGAs with less
than 16MB SDRAM, I want to save mem as much as possible. One of the
major technologies is kernel size optimizations, I found that riscv
does not currently support HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, which
passes -fdata-sections, -ffunction-sections to CFLAGS and passes the
--gc-sections flag to the linker.
This not only benefits my case on FPGA but also benefits defconfigs.
Here are some notable improvements from enabling this with defconfigs:
