[PATCH v2 0/4] kbuild: build speed improvement of CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS

[Masahiro Yamada]

Now CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is revived, but Linus is still unhappy
about the build speed.

I re-implemented this feature, and the build time cost is now
almost unnoticeable level.


(no changes since v1)

Masahiro Yamada (4):
  export.h: make __ksymtab_strings per-symbol section
  kbuild: separate out vmlinux.lds generation
  kbuild: re-implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS to make it work in
    one-pass
  kbuild: remove guarding from TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
