In my tests, compared to a genksyms defconfig build with debugging information, v5 was slightly faster, and v6 was 5.6% slower. This is because the expansion limits were dropped in this version to ensure version stability when exports are removed. See the explanation here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-modules/20241120215454.GA3512979@xxxxxxxxxx/ I did profile this quickly and most of the time seems to be spent in libdw looking up attributes. We might be able to speed this up by limiting the number of attributes we look up depending on the DIE type, but I haven't had time to look into it yet. I'll take a closer look when I'm back from my vacation in about three weeks. Sami
