Currently, the slb_shadow buffer is our largest symbol: [jk@pablo linux]$ nm --size-sort -r -S obj/vmlinux | head -1 c000000000da0000 0000000000040000 d slb_shadow - we allocate 128 bytes per cpu; so 256k with NR_CPUS=2048. As we have constant initialisers, it's allocated in .text, causing a larger vmlinux image. We may also allocate unecessary slb_shadow buffers (> no. pacas), since we use the build-time NR_CPUS rather than the run-time nr_cpu_ids. We could move this to the bss, but then we still have the NR_CPUS vs nr_cpu_ids potential for overallocation. This change dynamically allocates the slb_shadow array, during initialise_pacas(). At a cost of 104 bytes of text, we save 256k of data: [jk@pablo linux]$ size obj/vmlinux{.orig,} text data bss dec hex filename 9202795 5244676 1169576 15617047 ee4c17 obj/vmlinux.orig 9202899 4982532 1169576 15355007 ea4c7f obj/vmlinux Tested on pseries.
