From b54ed19078d33c7b777335e9ae135aec5c89ccdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sami Tolvanen Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2019 15:56:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 09/24] kbuild: lto: merge module sections LLD always splits sections with LTO, which increases module sizes. This change adds a linker script that merges the split sections in the final module.
