From 28d23128814dca9b90f04739b12f967f4248c584 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 21:03:04 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86: reducing debuginfo size by removing unneeded includes I found it strange that the struct sk_buff definition was found inside the DWARF debugging sections in the generated object, so I verified and found that there is no need for the files that bring struct sk_buff definition into this file and verified also that sk_buff is not brought in indirectly too, thru other headers. I went on and removed many other unneeded includes and the end result is: [acme@doppio net-2.6]$ l /tmp/sys_ia32.o.before /tmp/sys_ia32.o.after -rw-rw-r-- 1 acme acme 185240 2008-02-06 19:19 /tmp/sys_ia32.o.after -rw-rw-r-- 1 acme acme 248328 2008-02-06 19:00 /tmp/sys_ia32.o.before Almost 64KB only on this object file!
