Reducing the size of kexec util

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

 



The current (20080324) kexec binary on x86 is 135KiB.  While not a
problem on a normal distro or runtime environment, it's a chubster
in an embedded role.

Has any thought been given to reducing its 'on-disk' footprint?
The rather obvious, non-default build-time options to only support
specific kernel types and capabilities, jumps to mind.

Beyond build-time options, a Busybox applet would further minimize
size, but maintenance would be painful...
