From 8b53e5f737bcf64226298c16c3920e7f0807ab94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sami Tolvanen Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2020 10:46:22 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: lto: merge module sections commit dd2776222abb9893e5b5c237a2c8c880d8854cee upstream. LLD always splits sections with LTO, which increases module sizes. This change adds linker script rules to merge the split sections in the final module.
