From: Colin Ian King <redacted> Don't populate const array ac_to_fifo on the stack in an inlined function, instead make it static. Makes the object code smaller by over 800 bytes: text data bss dec hex filename 159029 33154 1216 193399 2f377 4965-mac.o text data bss dec hex filename 158122 33250 1216 192588 2f04c 4965-mac.o (gcc version 7.2.0 x86_64)
Gcc 7 must be much more aggressive about inlining than gcc 4. Here is the
change that I got on this file:
text data bss dec hex filename
- 76346 1494 152 77992 130a8 drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/4965-mac.o
+ 76298 1494 152 77944 13078 drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/4965-mac.o
decrease of 48
