From b71272e6ef894b1fab04efa2ba98e32d00829eb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sami Tolvanen Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2020 06:09:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 10/24] kbuild: lto: remove duplicate dependencies from .mod files With LTO, llvm-nm prints out symbols for each archive member separately, which results in a lot of duplicate dependencies in the .mod file when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_SYMS is enabled. When a module consists of several compilation units, the output can exceed the default xargs command size limit and split the dependency list to multiple lines, which results in used symbols getting trimmed. This change removes duplicate dependencies, which will reduce the probability of this happening and makes .mod files smaller and easier to read.
