Eliminate the .eh_frame sections from the aarch64 vmlinux and kernel modules By default the aarch64 gcc generates .eh_frame sections. Unlike .debug_frame sections, the .eh_frame sections are loaded into memory when the associated code is loaded. On an example kernel being built with this default the .eh_frame section in vmlinux used an extra 1.7MB of memory. The x86 disables the creation of the .eh_frame section. The aarch64 should probably do the same to save some memory. Signed-off-by: William Cohen <wcohen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
