When building the kernel using make O=.. all uses of __FILE__ becomes
filenames with absolute path resulting in increased text size.
Following patch supply the target filename as a commandline define
KBUILD_TARGET_FILE="mmslab.o"
With this doing a defconfig build I saw follow size reduction of
vmlinux (for x86_64):
-rc1:
text data bss dec hex filename
4727595 1174844 605224 6507663 634c8f vmlinux
With patch applied:
text data bss dec hex filename
4733637 1174844 605224 6513705 636429 vmlinux.with-full-filenames
So a net saving of 6042 bytes. Corresponding to BUG or WARN being used
215 times with this configuration. (My path is 28 bytes up to the kernel
src dir).
With this config before applying the patch I have 344 strings in vmlinux
that starts with /home/sam/... so there is 129 more uses of __FILE__
that is not addressed by this patch.
The drawback of this patch is that the provided filename is no longer the
file that used the macro but the target filename. So it would be
"mm/slab.o" and not as before "mm/slab.c" that is identified. I played
no tricks to find the extension since identifying the .o file give a
hint that this may be in another file than just the corresponding .c
file (think included .c file, usage in other .h files etc).
If gcc could be teached not to use full path for __FILE__ this would be
an even better fix, but with current make O=.. support I have not found a
way to do so.
Patch below only modify x86_64, but if this is accepted all arch's bug.h
will be fixed.
