Since these CRCs are really only 32-bit quantities, there's no need to store them in 64-bit slots. Since, however, gcc doesn't allow respective initializations, asm() constructs get used to create the CRC tables (and its for that reason that the patch only makes x86-64 and ia64 utilize that functionality, as I can't verify this doesn't break in some subtle way elsewhere). Observed size reduction (x86-64): - 16k kernel resident size - 2k module resident size - 1M vmlinux image size If the asm() construct could be extended to all architectures, and if modpost would guarantee generation of CRCs for all exported, then the __crc_* symbols wouldn't need to be declared weak anymore, could hence remain local to the exporting object. By adding -Wa,-strip-local-absolute to the second compilation step the __crc_* symbols could even be prevented from making it into any object file at all.
