The current arm32 architecture does not yet support the HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION feature. arm32 is widely used in embedded scenarios, and enabling this feature would be beneficial for reducing the size of the kernel image. In order to make this work, we keep the necessary tables by annotating them with KEEP, also it requires further changes to linker script to KEEP some tables and wildcard compiler generated sections into the right place. When using ld.lld for linking, KEEP is not recognized within the OVERLAY command, and Ard proposed a concise method to solve this problem. It boots normally with defconfig, vexpress_defconfig and tinyconfig. The size comparison of zImage is as follows: defconfig vexpress_defconfig tinyconfig 5137712 5138024 424192 no dce 5032560 4997824 298384 dce 2.0% 2.7% 29.7% shrink When using smaller config file, there is a significant reduction in the size of the zImage. We also tested this patch on a commercially available single-board computer, and the comparison is as follows: a15eb_config 2161384 no dce 2092240 dce 3.2% shrink The zImage size has been reduced by approximately 3.2%, which is 70KB on 2.1M.
