[PATCH] lib: compile memcat_p only when needed

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The library function memcat_p() is currently used only once.
(drivers/hwtracing/stm). So, often completely unused.

Reducing the kernel size by about 4k by compiling it
conditionally, only when needed.
